While in Mousehole working on a TV project (that alas was never commissioned) I met Neil Brockman and heard the story in his own words. If this was the only thing the RNLI ever did for humanity, it would be enough to deserve our eternal respect. And they do this every day. Unpaid. For all of us.

Watched that Channel 4 News investigation last night and then watched it again. These are not men of the people. The braying accents muffled by deep-pile carpets. Thin shoulders that barely come over country house armchairs. White shins glimpsed between dress socks and tailored trousers. Oysters!

Such awful news about the passing of Justin Richards. We first met in 1978 as teenagers, and over the years it was wonderful to see his writing career soar. He was a true talent and simply the nicest man in the Whoniverse. (photo by Lisa Bowerman)

OYD* 1912: John Bailey A fine actor I associate with playing dignified ruin and deviously scheming character parts in Doctor Who and The Avengers, but also because… I remember Trevor Baxter’s quietly righteous fury about old fear and shame and how gay men he knew were imprisoned. *Yesterday

Resharing this thread about Section 28, a cruel piece of homophobic legislation introduced in the UK in 1988. I hope it shows that even when the prospects are grim and hope is faltering, we can take comfort that those moments will pass. It’s likely the seeds of salvation have already been planted.

In the 1980s I was walking down a corridor in TV Centre when a make up artist ran after me shouting ‘Your ears!!! I must have them for my production!’ She took me off to a room where she did moulds of them, and they were used for all the creatures in The Chronicles of Narnia.

Coming as I do from a BBC comedy background, I have a shitload of suggestions for how to make great television programmes more cheaply (such as not budgeting them at $10m+ per episode) none of which anyone is interested in. They don’t want cheaper TV. They want cheaper people.
