Happy Birthday. Loved your cake show and how fitting. Hope you got a good birthday cake. My mum made the lightest
Iced sponge ever with jam and cream for everyone’s birthday. #markcolvin loved Pam’s sponge.
Yes! I was very lucky to meet him with my husband #MarkColvin at a consular cocktail party in the late 90’s. He talked to us for ages, then got taken away, but then he came back to talk to us again. Oh frabjus day! He really liked my husband and who wouldn’t
Good news. I loved the book when I was young then saw the marvellous Merchant Ivory film in 1985 when I was quite grown up and living with my tiny child and adorable #markcolvin in Brussells. We had a bedroom with a view of a forest.
My husband #markcolvin loved ’Moomintroll’
#MarkColvin died
Oh goodie will listen. @arusbridger.bsky.social wish husband #markcolvin was here to see this. I’m being retraumatised but also gleeful when some bastard says “its not happening”. See you in court! #davidtennant looks like both you and #nickdavies but I love, love #tobyjones and want to kiss him.
There are still a great number of film screenplays, tv series, plays, novels and childrens books by #AndrewDavies that I haven’t seen or read that I will be kept occupied for some time. #markcolvin loved the work of #andrewdavies. If you see something you love for sure it was adapted by AD. Eg P & P

#MarkColvin didnt go easy on him in 2016
Peter was a very good friend of #MarkColvin
My husband agreed with you. My millenial son has just discovered the joy of listening to ABC Australia Radio National am station. His father #MarkColvin ran a current affairs show #PM on this channel for twenty years. It was set in the car and when he turned ignition son would hear it. Yay
In the introduction to Conversations on RN every day there is a tiny grab of #MarkColvin saying of something, “the system was corrupt to its very core” and how apt for so many systems we could name today. Thank you editor for that little bit of joy for me.
Envious of my husband #markcolvin @colvinius for having died in 2017. It didn’t feel like it but it was a good move. Local and global politics are the worst they’ve been in my long life. Hard to feel positive about anything
Agree. Btw #Markcolvin was happy to grab any opportunity he could to ask “is a fork out of the question?” Will be listening to you on RN on Saturday at 11.
This story written by #PeterHoysted (good friend of Mark Colvin) made #MarkColvin laugh so much. He thought it would make a great movie. We spent hours casting this movie, yet to be made.
Thousands of Australians would have paid to have #markcolvin read #DavidLodge or #MalcolmBradbury novels to them in bed.
Love to Bob. Very glad to have met him. #MarkColvin who didn’t like politicians much admired Bob. Keep up the good work you two xxxx
Xmas 84 Versailles #markcolvin #andrewolle and Netty and #nickolle #samolle #NicMcKenzie #deepseaarcase in pushchair, we were all happy then
So good to hear #NickBryant’s voice on ABC RN Saturday Extra. #MarkColvin loved him
Me too. Philip was wonderful and I miss his voice and humor. David Marr is terrific. He used to share an office at 4 Corners with #markcolvin @colvinius and Mark was very fond of him x
I wish, but I will go to Reykjavik before I die. I was very envious when my husband @colvinius #markcolvin covered the Gorbachev/Reagan Summit in the 80’s for ABC Australia. I did get a memorial Icelandic jumper which cannot ever be worn in Australia. So hot right now.
#markcolvin was dead then but would have made a fuss about it somehow.
Agree wholeheartedly. Hard for journos who have to work harder but the smart ones, like #MarkColvin, managed
Do watch, if you haven't already. A wonderful tribute #MarkColvin http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2017/s4667745.htm
