@michaelwhite If TB had erred over WMD in the other direction he could have been the PM who presided over a backpack nuke attack in a UK city or cyanide in the water supply… I think he can live with cheap abuse on here…

@WeHaveWaysPod @almurray @James1940 There it’s a great deal of coverage about the cracking of Enigma and the use of ULTRA tra transcripts and the role of Alan Turing etcetera but did the Soviet Union make of Enigma? Was there a Soviet Bletchley? Or were their spies enough?

@The_Globe Only a little bit tongue in cheek what about the Tempest?

@sheehyjr @ProfTonyPollard @RodneyMarshall1 The the most memorable, but not the best production of ever seen was in Ludlow and had Mandy Rice Davis of the Profumo affair playing the nurse in R&J huge applause…

[barbedWyrePhD @simonhfielding]

@sheehyjr @ProfTonyPollard @RodneyMarshall1 Sara Kestelman was great. The worst production I’ve ever seen amazingly was with Derek Jacoby and Carol Churchill. The set was terrible like something from the Adams family family.

@sheehyjr @ProfTonyPollard @RodneyMarshall1 That was the first of a live Shakespeare I saw about 1982 motorbike jackets in Japanese style sets

@The_Globe Hamlet by the cast of ‘Swine Trek’ Stadler and Waldorf Hen IV Pt2 ‘I know thee not old man how I’ll grey has become a fool’

@eddiemarsan You are both superb actors -but can I just say thank you for your depiction of a Parkinson sufferer in Ray Donovan. I was diagnosed 10 years ago and found your depiction of a character with disease the most realistic, most helpful, and the least patronising - thank you.

[barbedWyrePhD @simonhfielding]

@monstroso Absolutely, but I did have a flicker of it once - I was waiting for a class of students to come out of the Tate modern and I saw the spotted hydrofoil turning around on the Thames in front of the Shard -

That’s a bit more like it I thought….
