Unless you count being on the new Alan Partridge series, being in a documentary series made by Irving Welsh, writing a new show, planning for al already sold out tour, hanging out with her Tara, and watching a bunch of bride and housewife reality shows. But otherwise not much going on. Also, Tara is driven to the brink of madness by home improvement and Matthew talks her down.
