Inside No.9 (the series) finishes tonight with Plodding On. I was very fortunate to be on set for this one, including for the final day's filming — and for the final shot. It was emotional. Trust me, it's a fabulously fitting episode for this incredible show to sign off with.

I interviewed Michael Gambon on the set of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix while he was shooting Dumbledore and Voldemort's duel in the Ministry of Magic and can confirm he was an absolute hoot. As well as a gloriously good actor. RIP

Douglas Trumbull was a genius. And while all the obits will, rightly, point to his effects work on 2001, Blade Runner and Close Encounters, he also directed the classic Silent Running and, my favourite, the sadly underrated Brainstorm. RIP
