@ThatKevinSmith I’ve seen several of your movies at the Prince Charles Cinema in London’s Leicester Square - which I think is the only theatre in the country to screen them - most recently the wonderful 4:30 Movie (at the 4:30 showing no less!).

🎥 Save The Prince Charles Cinema! This iconic London cinema is at risk of closing due to unfair rent demands. Sign the petition to protect its future #SaveThePCC https://t.co/FBB9wLh2Uy via @38degrees

@RougeAppendage @StarfieldGame Seconded.

T.S. Eliot said, “The journey, not the destination matters…”
Had he spent his entire morning at Paddington Station, I wonder what might be his thoughts on departures, particularly when none are in sight.

So proud of what these guys achieved last night with Soho Songs that @barbjungr and I have created with @BenjiDirector While still evolving, it’s becoming a “thing”, aided and skilfully guided by @michaelwebborn Watch this space….

Neither sleet nor snow, being drenched, nearly set on fire or bombarded with toilet rolls, shall keep this bass player from his appointed grooves. @TheWaterside1 #aladdin

But why are all the company electrics suddenly covered in plastic, but not mine…?

[Doug Grannell @DougGrannell]

Aaand we’re about to be up and running; although I’m sure somebody miscounted the days of Christmas in the dress run earlier!

[Doug Grannell @DougGrannell]

It has been a very productive 2½ days of panto tech so far, and none of it has anything to do with the show. This evening, I will make a start on my reading list, which may need reinforcements, going by progress thus far.

DC is deeply saddened at the passing of Kevin Conroy, a legendary actor and the voice of Batman for multiple generations. He will be forever missed by his friends, family, and fans. https://t.co/GgdfYvoKVL

We'll never think of Yeast the same way again 💚

It turns out @WickedUK had its 6000th show this evening. WOW! A lot of green indeed. It was only my 2nd though.

[Doug Grannell @DougGrannell]

Also, I am not sponsored by Yamaha, but if they’d like to send any cool stuff my way…

[Doug Grannell @DougGrannell]

Somehow I’ve aged 20 years during this gig, but it’s a cool shot creating the illusion the guitarist @Jordy_Rowlands and I were not actually mere centimetres apart. @denmarkstbigbnd

@marcbernardin Would John Sheridan of Babylon 5 make it on to your list of ideal presidents, alongside Bartlet and Roslin?

[Doug Grannell @DougGrannell]

Anyone Who Had a Heart would agree. 😉

[Doug Grannell @DougGrannell]

My first “the moment when” post: when you start the second time of a repeat and only then realise you weren’t supposed to play until the second time. I can only hope that, when my moment of judgement comes, my taste and sensitivity (20 bars premature) will weigh in my favour.

[Doug Grannell @DougGrannell]

This is showing my age a bit, but does anyone else think that Babylon 5 (2nd season especially) is quite relevant right now? #babylon5

[Doug Grannell @DougGrannell]

I’m doing a show at the moment with people I really love. I am incredibly lucky that this is not particularly exceptional for me.
