@BillBailey Hi! I planned to ask if you'd be so kind as to share this fellow Devonian's @gofundme but I've just read that you're actually from Keynsham, so could I perhaps ask you to share this fellow South Westerner's page instead? Thank you :) gofundme.com/f/u3652j-help-u…

@BillBailey This short film (11 mins) is getting rave reviews and could be a game changer for #captive #dolphins and #whales. Please find time to view it and share. Your celebrity status could make all the difference. Thank you! youtube.com/watch?v=0y9xIJoT…

Do you remember the news last year about Grace and her daughter Amy, the first baby born in the UK following a womb transplant?
Grace and her sister Amy, who donated her womb, appear in tonight's episode of @BillBailey's Extraordinary Portraits. Tune in at 7.30pm via @BBCOne. 📺
A UK-first! 📢 After over 25 years of research, a woman has given birth to a baby girl following a womb transplant. Meet baby Amy and her mum Grace: imperial.nhs.uk/about-us/new…

my view at Avebury for the solstice. I watched with druids, coppers, vicars, and face-painted freaks.
Thanks to Joe Milnes and everyone at UKAEA for this invitation - fascinating to learn about the work you’re doing
The UK Atomic Energy Authority (@UKAEAofficial) welcomed British musician, comedian and television star, Bill Bailey (@BillBailey), to its @CulhamCampus to explore the vital research being undertaken to advance fusion as a sustainable source of energy for future generations.
The Strictly Come Dancing Glitterball Trophy winner visited UKAEA’s campus in Oxfordshire, after mentioning fusion during his ‘Thoughtifier’ stand-up tour. Spotted in the audience, UKAEA’s Executive Director for Engineering and Computing, Dr Joe Milnes, invited Mr Bailey to see fusion’s research and development in action.
Mr Bailey, said: “The central premise of this show (‘Thoughtifier’) is celebrating human endeavour and the constant ingenuity of humans. I talk about it in terms of human evolution, about discovering music, and one of those fields is also fusion. It felt like a natural fit to put fusion into the show and to ask the members of the audience what they feel about it.
“I’ve noticed a change over the past year and half where, every time I mention fusion, there has been a gradual uptick in people’s awareness of it. When I say, “We need to find a solution to the world’s energy needs, what about fusion?”, there are cheers from the crowd.
“My visit to UKAEA was fascinating and eye-opening, and amazing to hear about how our understanding of fusion is progressing. Seeing all this being done in the English countryside gave me a huge surge of patriotic pride, and enormous hope for the future.”
Dr Joe Milnes, Executive Director for Engineering and Computing, UKAEA, said: “I’ve always been a big fan of Bill’s, particularly his sense of humour combined with his obvious fascination with how the world works.
“Spending a few hours with Bill, showing him all the incredible things happening at UKAEA, revealed how excited he is about fusion and other endeavours where humans can demonstrate their incredible problem-solving abilities.”
Fusion promises to be a safe, low carbon and sustainable part of the world’s future energy supply. It has the potential to provide ‘base load’ power, complementing renewable and other low carbon energy sources.
📽 During his visit, Mr Bailey toured UKAEA’s MAST-Upgrade and the Joint European Torus (JET) facilities and recorded a fireside chat with Dr Joe Milnes. To watch, visit youtu.be/7FS1yO3zs5k

My name is Ben and I have autism.
I’m not less than anyone else I just see
the world differently. Lately I’ve been
working on losing weight by walking.
I walked 5 miles yesterday. It’s also
helps with my confidence and I can
enjoy the outdoors and the scenery.

Went to see @BillBailey at the Haymarket. Few performers bring such joy, make you howl and blow your mind like Bill. In one instance the innovation so astonishing I barely noticed the glorious material being delivered. #Thoughtifier in residence until mid Feb. Unmissable.
