Back from being proofread! I need to give it another once-over for my own satisfaction/paranoia, and then I can look at how much printing and posting will cost and then start a month-long fundraiser. Might actually arrive on doorsteps before Christmas! Imagine!

It's easy (and fun!) to criticise Edmonds, but the way he handles the studio audience here once the cameras are officially off, and how he facilitates the studio guest being well served, are a masterclass in how to deal with these disasters. But as Jon hints: the meetings after can only be imagined.

1968 In Colour

One of the nice things about writing a blog is that readers will often respond with information or pictures that add more to the subjects that you have been writing on. I have recently written blog posts about BBC Network symbols that incorporate the Olympic rings, and BBC “polo mint” clocks and as a result [...]

Phyllida Law, prolific performer across stage and screen, dies aged 94

As adept at comedy and musicals as she was drama, Law acted alongside daughters Emma and Sophie in a career spanning eight decades Phyllida Law, whose prolific acting career encompassed a wide range of stage, TV and film roles – a number of which were alongside her daughters Emma and Sophie Thompson – has died aged 94. Her personal manager Jacky Leggo said in a statement that she “died supremely peacefully at home, surrounded by all of her family”. Born in Glasgow in 1932, Law was accepted at the prestigious Bristol Old Vic Theatre school – initially intending to be a stage designer but then switching to acting. She appeared in a number of Bristol Old Vic productions in the 1950s, and it was there she met Eric Thompson, a fellow actor, whom she married in 1957. Continue reading...
