Eddie Large died. Midnight Matinee Great Yarmouth 1978. They finished part one. I’d never heard laughter like it. Rude, raucous and rollicking.Dunno how they did it, but Eddies energy and electricity and impressions and props and improv were hugely impressive. R.I.P.

Sidney Poitier: If you can’t see it , you can’t be it.For me it was To Sir With Love. I’d never seen a black wonder I wound up playing one in Hope and Glory. I’d seen Poitier do it so I knew I could be it. Rest in power…

I was saddened to hear that Kay Mellor has died. I was lucky to work with her on the Syndicate and found her to be incredibly creative , funny and instinctive. She knew what she wanted and knew how to get the best from us as actors. She will be missed. Condolences to her family.
