This still makes me grin.. Via @BerylReidOBE During the making of The Beast in the Cellar (1970), a crew member politely invited "Dame Flora & Dame Beryl" to take their places on set. Flora Robson: "Oh no dear, Beryl's not a Dame" Beryl Reid: "No, I'm not. But I do have all my own teeth"

Goodness Matt Munro had such a rich beautiful voice. I just listened to him singing ‘Born Free’ and it is so gorgeous.

I liked Paul Darrow, he had time for the people he met. He was warm, kind and had a great sense of humour. He is very much missed by so many.

I know it’s said that people don’t like musicals because it isn’t like real life. People don’t just burst into song! They haven’t got friends like mine then 😂

I fondly remember watching Billy Dainty and I miss seeing his comical walks and impressions. He was an amazing dancer and music hall performer, and I really admire his skills as an entertainer. He trained as a tap dancer with Buddy Bradley and received a scholarship to RADA.

No two trees...no two leaves...are ever exactly alike. No plant...no flower...ever perfectly symmetrical. Repetition, yet with a slight difference. Variety, yet with conformity. This is how we expect it. This is how we love it. This is beauty." C.R. Milne

I loved ‘The Generation Game’ where they have a game performing scenes from a movie. Jon Pertwee was great fun. This is my screen grab of him as Dracula.

That's what all art's about - a sense of moving away from boundaries that you can't in real life. Like a dancer is always trying to fly, really - to do something that's just not possible. But you try to do as much as you can within those physical boundaries. Kate Bush

Children's BBC's 1980 adaptation of The Bells Of Astercote by Penelope Liveley is as genuinely unsettling as any of the more celebrated Ghost Stories For Christmas aimed at adults. It deserves way more attention than it gets... timworthington.org/2019/12/09/a...

For a trip down memory lane… watch “Take Me Home”, an 80’s drama on @bbciplayer.bsky.social Starring Keith Barron, Maggie O’Neill, Annette Crosbie and @reecedinsdale.bsky.social It’s a powerful piece and an interesting social commentary on life “then”. Hard to watch in parts. Acting is outstanding!

I always think that there isn't enough kindness in the world, but when you look around and see the small kind deeds (that go unnoticed each day) by a lot of lovely people, you realise that it isn't as rare as you think and it makes you smile.
