I’ve cheered myself up by buying a big new desk and rearranging my study. For a few days, I can entertain the fantasy that thanks to this change, everything I do from this desk will be a masterpiece. I’ll give it till Monday before the feeling wears off.

Shepherd was also blessed with one of the great faces of the late 20th century with his sunken eyes, insane cheekbones, and puckered lips. I love this photo of him because he looks like he’s suddenly remembered that he has children.

RIP Jack Shepherd. One of the greats. He’s most famous for Wycliffe, but his legacy goes way beyond that, particularly with his performance as the eponymous Bill Brand in Trevor Griffiths’ brilliant series, and also for being the original Ricky Roma in Glengarry Glen Ross.

Tonight, I’m mainly digging into the Blake’s 7 production paperwork that’s on the new blu-Ray. Very exciting.

I was reading various articles about Anthony Hopkins over breakfast this morning, and this extract intrigued me. I wonder which film he’s talking about? Juggernaut with Richard Harris, David Hemmings, and Omar Sharif in the cast seems possible except it’s a great film. Any other candidates?
