Someone on here - who shall remain nameless, although I shall forever remain grateful to them - has just confused me with the ballet dancer Barnaby Quarendon. I'm just adding the latter's photos to my online profile...

I directed one of these - the first one you hear in the trailer - and a cracking cast I had too: Tim Treloar, Katy Manning, REDACTED, BLANK, NAME WITHHELD and TBA.

I’ve just read ‘Clear’ by Carys Davies and it’s magnificent. Such atmosphere, such perfect prose, such delicate understanding of the human condition. I urge you to read it.

Interesting choice to feature actors speaking in a language that predates the play by 450 years. * Old English (NEVER Olde English - that's a drink) dies out around 1150 * Romeo and Juliet was written around 1597

The world has enough heavy news, here's some light stuff: Scientists have confirmed the existence of a species of wild cats previously only known to locals of Bolivia. It is *smaller* than a house cat and its closest living relative diverged 1.4 million years ago. It's called a Tilcayo.

Of course young people hate AI. When I was a kid, you could watch a film (hear a song / read a book) and think: “When I grow up I want to become an actor (singer / writer).” That’s what I did and then I set about making my dreams a reality. Today’s kids know that AI aims to take all that from them.

Yes, okay, I admit that I was filmed shooting the Tenth Doctor in the back. But as he regenerated his cells and didn't actually die, then I've committed no crime and am wholly innocent. Champagne de Skaro and giant mutant clams, anyone?

Farewell to one of the most delicious actors ever to tread the boards. Tim Curry was utterly fearless and gave everything he had to a part. For me, his performance in The Rocky Horror Picture Show is one of the most perfect ever captured on film. Thanks, Tim, for scattering us with pearls. ❤️

One of my favourite Dolly Parton stories. Chatting to one of her employees one day, she asked why he’d decided to work at Dollywood. To fund his education, he said. She immediately paid 100% of his college fees & then offered the same deal to all 11,000 employees. www.upworthy.com/dollywood-co...

CD sales are increasing again! The young are apparently fed up with endlessly renting their music (in very inferior sound quality) from some big corporation, listening to bits of albums, and having their tastes curated by an algorithm. This makes me very happy. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I’ve been directing professional actors for over a third of a century. What I want from them - and what AI will never be able to supply - is something that can’t be predicted or programmed: a quirky but valid line-reading which I wouldn’t have thought of myself. It’s the delivery, never the voice.
