And now dear Bernard Cribbins has left us. The world and the acting profession will be the poorer without him. A lovely man. A fine subtle actor. He was Dangerous Davis in 1980 and he arrested me. It was an honour.

Just binge watched the first three of Jodie’s Dr Whos. Just brilliant. She is the definitive Doctor for 2018 and the Rosa Parks story is the perfect Doctor Who story. A story that must always be told. Stunning writing performances direction. Just WOW

Oh good grief! the first question in today’s briefing is are you ashamed that we haven’t got PPE for all front line NHS workers? Doesn’t Hugh Pym know that the whole world is chasing a massively increased demand for PPE? Of course he does. So why be so vile?

Okay I don’t get it. What is wrong with being asked to prove that you have had your Covid jab in order to go somewhere where others could easily be infected by you? Because I have had my two jabs I can now accept a film job I’ve been offered. Why are people complaining?

Apparently the UK has more new cases every day per million population than any other country. Enough already. If you’re being good be better - if you’re not, shame on you. Every day I go out I see people without masks and I don’t believe they’re all medically excused.
