Helen McCrory learnt that her cancer had returned on our last day of filming. She had a very emotional final scene set - in all places - in a hospice. I suggested she go home. We would find a way. Helen went ahead and did the scene despite the terrible news. Incredible.
I've just watched the last episode of Lost Boys & Fairies, and even though I hadn't seen the rest of the series I am weeping so much my throat hurts. it is so, so brilliant.
The BBC leads on Stanley Johnson's "Boris must rest up" on another day when the UK overtakes Spain and Italy's death count and no sign of a peak for 3-4 weeks. I trained on Newsnight and Channel 4 News and find it staggering the lack of incisive questions at the daily briefings.

My niece Lulu Elliott runs REELANGELS for female below the line crew working out of the UK. The ONLY one in the world dedicated 100% to women. Fascinating piece in The Hollywood Reporter today.
So glad to have gone on todays march against hatred and bigotry towards a minority. So many remain silent just like bystanders in the '30s. This isn't to do with any position on Israel. It's about showing support towards good British people.

I voted labour today. I am Jewish. But I refuse to believe that anti-semitism is ingrained amongst the hundreds of thousands of good and compassionate labour members who believe in the right for everyone on these islands to live a just and hopeful life.
What’s wrong with the Liberal Democrat’s? More stubborn than Farage. With just 19 days left its a form of madness not to stand down candidates in tight marginals. They’ll never be forgiven by Remainers for a Johnson majority and hard Brexit.
Can anyone explain to me why after two months a symptom such as loss of taste and smell is only now officially a symptom? Is this day 1 of the pandemic?
Over the last few weeks Reel Angel and Aco Associate Camera Operators Agnieszka Szeliga and Svetlana Miko worked alongside DP Greig Fraser in the main unit, as additional camera as well as B Camera Splinter Unit, on The Batman movie starring Robert Pattinson.
Why does everyone call Johnson “Boris”? It lends this end of the pier narcissist a clubbable common folk persona which perpetuates the myth. His political name is JOHNSON. His prime ministership will be very very serious for this country.
Of all the Labour Party events I’ve attended this will probably live with me the longest. Entire shadow cabinet in attendance along with leader Keir. Raw, emotional speeches. No political point scoring. Well done to all who organised

Just watching Mastermind. How can a knowledge category 'Best Oscar Picture 1923-1970' be comparable to the entire annals of 'Greeks Gods and Godesses'. Thought they monitored the subjects?

If it's of any assistance I directed a BBC film of Poulenc's La Voix Humaine currently on iPlayer. But no other opera to my recollection has been specially commissioned this year. Pretty poor.
The almost total lack of classical music programming on BBC TV over festive season - and not one commissioned origination, as far as I can see - is a disgrace. What exactly is the new Music and Arts exec team doing?? The BBC fails to deliver for the arts. Again.

If just 30% of pro-Remain voters use their vote tactically it would prevent the Conservative Party from winning a majority at the upcoming election.

This is an excellent summary of why Diane Abbott is toxic and should be thrown out of the party. To her The Holocaust was an act of prejudice against Jews who happened to be white, thereby equivalent to the stigma of being red headed. Where to begin?
@RolandBasilides
Exactly. We pre-recorded the music and she had that on playback in her ears but also very low level from a speaker in the room. And then her voice was mixed in professionally during post production. We had click tracks but also our very talented sound recordist could beat to time
