Colby joined the Bay in early 2018 when he arrived as the town's new police officer. Many of his storylines centred around his desire to do the right thing in the force, which was often threatened by his dark past as part of the River Boys.

I loved the stories from his childhood and adolescence, so many had me crying with laughter, even making me smile now as I think about them. The story about the Greyhound called ‘The Wedge’ and Brian his workmate doing the bins was brilliant! As were the interview at Cambridge University and some of his probation service stories. I loved the witch’s house story, with the tiny pony, old lady and the toilet seat and makeup club at school was hilarious! I’ve absolutely no idea if any of them they were lies or true stories, which is typical Bob Mortimer! 😹 I found that I no longer felt the need to just be the funny guy,” he says of his career since the heart operation. “I was actually better at just being myself.” The book, too, grows more confident in talking about serious subjects as it progresses and it’s the honesty and openness that he allows in Gone Fishing that make And Away…, by the end, an unexpectedly moving read. Paparazzi photos later confirmed Jacqui Purvis’s attendance, along with that of Angelina Thompson (Kirby) and Matt Evans (Theo), who are set to perform together, suggesting that Lyrik’s former frontman and songwriter will have put their issues aside by the end of the year.

This was so funny. Bob Mortimer has a gift for storytelling, weaving the most interesting stories of his life into a very relatable and honest account. From his childhood in Middlesbrough, we see him roam the streets with his friends, take on various jobs and eventually meet Jim Noir, a partnership that would ultimately change the course of his life. Some of the stories he tells are completely bonkers, from the pony watching TV in a living room to Mark Lemar falling through a ceiling and walking off. It's as chaotic and random as you would imagine from Bob.

By this point, Nikau is already being wheeled into an ambulance. Logan also tries to reassure Mia, who explains that she's pregnant and fears she might be losing the baby. Meanwhile, Mia manages to draw on her girl guide experience to cut off the car's seatbelts, tie them together to create a rope and then fasten them around a post to secure the vehicle in place. PLEASE NOTE:There are only three episodes airing this week, with no episode scheduled for Thursday 7th September due to AFL coverage on Seven This was a book that I was looking forward to all year and inhaled when the magical publishing time arrived, still wanting to savour every moment. I must admit that it took me a few minutes to get into the audio version as it was delivered in a far less manic pace, despite the huge energy from the cover, but again this matches in with the beauty of Bob as a performer - the total joy is always apparent, even in the melancholic moments, but from a grounded person that turned to the surreal to make life more interesting without it being desperately forced.The author Ed James recommended this to me after I listened to, and loved, Windswept and Interesting by Billy Connolly. I wasn't convinced. As a student my (largely male) flatmates subjected me to hour upon hour of Vic and Bob and, other than Shooting Stars, I found it bizarre, absurd and silly - and I rarely laughed. BUT I am a huge fan of Taskmaster and Bob did make me laugh when he appeared in series 5, so I thought I'd give it a go. Felicity (Jacqui Purvis) has been on a downward spiral since she was assaulted at the Battle of the Bands competition at the beginning of June.

Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK), with first look screenings at 6.30pm on 5STAR. She later explained that she knew he would try and stop her, and that she had to deal with this her own way. And Away? is the eagerly-awaited first autobiography by comedian Bob Mortimer. Known and loved as part of the comedy duo - Vic and Bob - with Vic Reeves, Bob has been making us laugh on our TV screens for over 30 years. Despite his early involvement in criminal activity, Dean has mellowed over the years and has attempted to make an honest living as a surfing instructor.Filled with anecdotes from Mortimer’s life, And Away… contrasts humour with a deeper contemplation of life following his open-heart surgery’ Although a wedding has been the obvious conclusion drawn by many for the formal event, both those on the tour and actor Shane Withington have denied this to be the case.

This above insight covers only two years of an influential comedy career that is still ongoing - will I ever laugh any harder at live comedy than the time that the seemingly natural response to smashing each other with increasing size foam frying pans was of course to bring on a giant cheese grater, with the necessary vicious up and down action and overdubbed sound effect? In one way I hope so to keep experiencing new things in life, but I somehow doubt it… Away can refer to ‘the length of time from the time of speaking’ or to ‘the distance from a place’. It comes after the time or distance phrase:

Ziggy moved to the Bay in 2017 with her dad Ben, mum Maggie and younger sister Coco. She's the sole remaining member of the family after the others all left the Bay. Tane explains that he’s been missing home and his connection to the country, and Felicity cautiously agrees to give it some thought. Justin is disappointed when he hears that his landlord will be selling the garage. This leaves the business's future uncertain, as he's not sure whether the new owners will want to keep him on. It’s not all hilarious though, as he spoke candidly about how’s he really struggled with shyness all his life and with depression at uni. It was really quite sad at times, especially when revealed how hard he found it making and keeping friends. I record my solemn conviction that hospital work, rightly done, is by far and away the most needful and the most acceptable of the chaplain's work.
