I was looking through the set of radical playing cards someone gave me and, for an awful moment, I thought they’d done one of Labour Party grifter Tom Watson but, thankfully, it was Chilean martyr Salvador Allende.

Look, if you absolutely have to do Robin Hood again then reboot 80s series Robin of Sherwood, get Clarissa Connelly to do the soundtrack and have Richard Dawson play Friar Tuck.

This is truly heartbreaking. Dolly Parton was an extraordinary person and an irreplaceable champion of the working class. We are a better country because of her.

It really isn’t normal for media outlets to hound minor public figures to death, just for fun, because they can. That really is a Just Britain thing.

A rare occasion where DL is correct. As a sixth former I got taken to the Barbican to see Roger Allam as Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing. Mustve been over thirty years ago. Have never forgotten it. The man is a comic genius.

I was a bookseller and he did a signing at the store. He wasn’t vile and he had put in the hours but he was brusque to say the least - especially to my mate who was a major fan of his.

Learned today that this is on BBC iPlayer. Saw it in Edinburgh back in the day, my first theatre experience. 🎭 The great Bill Paterson’s performance still indelibly stamped on my memory. Short doco of Bill’s recollections of performing and touring the play also on iPlayer.
