Yes, cricket being over does free time up (until the winter tours start, anyway!). I'm really impressed with the celeb potters; the improvement week on week is noticeable, and I like the new format with no expulsions till week 4, giving them all a chance to develop.

BTW is it just me or is Paul Merson looking uncannily like Keir Starmer?

Yes, I hadn't known that and was surprised it runs so deep. Some good Chelsea-related pottery items too.

I borrowed the DVD from Royal Holloway library. I think they had other DVDs of Ninagawa's Shakespeare productions there, including Macbeth.

I'm really sorry you've been feeling so poorly - it must be a very worrying time for you all. Hope you start to feel better very soon. Sending my best wishes.

I've seen the Ninagawa production of Pericles at the NT on DVD. That said, I think it was a Japanese DVD, and there were no English subtitles (I assume there were English surtitles in the theatre, but they weren't visible on the DVD). So not ideal unless one knows the play, but still amazing.
