Nadine Dorris is an idiot. The BBC is a national treasure. Something we can be proud of despite its mistakes and missteps. To scupper it like this is cultural vandalism. Disgraceful.

The BAFTA awards were an embarrassing travesty. Cutting deserving winners speeches for toe curling non interviews. Poor Richard E Grant pretending to arrive in a Batmobile and no Bernard Cribbens in memorium. I resigned my membership

Had to say goodbye to Archie yesterday. A growth on his liver. He was SO loved and adored and he loved us back. Our family are bereft. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, but we didn’t want him to suffer. Goodbye old fella.

I had the pleasure of working with Jean Boht at Stratford East in the early 70s. Joan Littlewood adored her. Her work was always wonderfully funny, eccentric, natural and real. A proper original. RIP
