One of my favourite versions of The Hound of the Baskervilles is the Peter Cushing Christopher Lee Hammer film. It has such an atmosphere about it, incredibly eerie. I watched it a few nights back and it really grabbed me again.

I really love ‘Sense and Sensibility’ and the adaptation starring Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Alan Rickman and Hugh Grant is so good. I love Emma Thompson’s portrayal of Elinor, she really made me feel for her. One of my favourite classic novels too.

Jimmy Cricket : truly one of the nicest men in this business. Daft as a brush on stage (and able to be cross generational in his appeal) but so warm and kind and generous and supportive off it. He also has a lovely family of good people. Ah this is so sad. RIP Jimmy.

Many years ago, I bumped into Jimmy Cricket in a graveyard in Scarborough. He was off duty, of course. We were both there on the same mission - to visit the grave of Anne Brontë - and we had the briefest of chats. He was gentle, twinkling, and simply delightful. Well, that’s my Jimmy Cricket story.

I was cleaning out a cupboard using the hoover attachment. I put a bowl of water down just behind me to wash the cupboard out afterwards. I was sidetracked by a knock at the door, turned off the hoover, took a step backwards, and found myself standing with both feet in the bucket of water. 🤣

When I was younger, I loved to visit 'The Dress Circle' on Monmouth Street in London. I had always bought DVDs and merchandise from there by mail order, but the actual shop was truly an Aladdin's cave of theatrical magic. I really miss it along with the Theatre Museum, which was in Covent Garden.

To all the people who post about their day, their hobbies, creative projects, art, their love of books and music, their writing and singing and their pets and recipes. Once again, thank you for making my timeline happy and for drowning out the nonsensical ❤️

Love's Labour's Lost was one of the first Shakespeare plays that I saw. It also includes the longest word in his plays ‘honorificabilitudinitatibus’

I think that Nathanial Curtis is an amazing and a really natural actor. I loved seeing him as Sam in 2:22 A Ghost Story. He really brought the character to life and I wasn’t expecting the ending at all. He was absolutely brilliant.

I used to watch ‘Paperplay’ presented by Susan Stranks and loved Itsy and Bitsy. When I was young, I always thought that this was the name of the programme.
