I really enjoyed Zurbaran exhibition at @NationalGallery the paintings are so realistic, you think the subjects are alive. You can touch the fabric and smell the zest of lemons 🍋🍋. I would go back again.

It was amazing seeing Doctor Who & "The Night of The Doctor" on the big screen and see Paul McGann

It was lovely to chat to Paul McGann again in London at the weekend at "The Doctor The Movie Screening".

David Burke has died. An incomparable Watson to Jeremy Brett’s Holmes, Kent to Ian Holm’s Lear, husband to Anna Calder-Marshall, father to Tom (another great actor). The loveliest man.

He and I worked together on the John Wyndham adaptation RANDOM QUEST

I saw "Magic" on stage written by David Haig who plays Arthur Conan Doyle and Hadley Fraser as Harry Houdini, heartfelt, dramatic with live magic and stunts.
