We put onto people our own ideas about what they must be like when we admire their work or their look and believe that because *we* are a certain way, they must be too. Every now and again our perception of what someone must be like is so wide of the mark it's a total shock when we find out...-

Speaking of films, the campaign starts now to persuade Channel 5 to use the black and white version of "Scrooge" next year.(Though the director's accidental appearance in the "mirror scene" is just as good in the colorizzzed version.)

Against doctors orders I attempted Hark!The Herald Angels Sing yesterday evening. In the higher register. Exhausted by the time I was attempting Hail the Prince of Peace. Unrelenting number with no opportunity for drawing breath.

Devastated to hear of the passing of Sir Humphrey Burton at 94. What a career, and so well loved by his peers. Someone who for me was the beating heart of public service and changed television for the better. Here's my tribute to him on his 90th. cstonline.net/the-five-deg...

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

Stanley Baxters death is hard for those seeking to explain his magnitude. Theres no one with who to compare him for younger people.
No M&W, Ronnie Barker, Dick Emery, Benny Hill - no equivalent entertainer.
We have presenters & stand ups now but nothing on TV like Stanley Baxter.
That's all gone.

Jimmy's Corner closing would be a loss for the city that I would feel, and I am not particularly romantic about this stuff. If you're in the city and you've never been, you should go to the boxing-themed drinking hallway.
