How do you do, it's your final clue.
It's Kenneth Branagh, looking dandy.
Probably drinking a pint of shandy.
He's done a lot of these you know.
Did someone mention Upstart Crow?

Helen Mirren on a cliff.
Someone should make it into a GIF

I'm now onto my seventh murder mystery novel of the year (a locked room mystery).

Who knew reading and writing about crime novels could be such fun? I did, I did...

[Richard Hearn @latestdad]

Very pleased that our short film - which started out as monologue for the always excellent @ActShowcase, and then taken on, expanded, directed, produced, he even put the relevant bins out, by its star @IanDtheActor - will be in the @ManchesterLO festival >>
