This is excellent. #LizFraser in a straight role is wonderful. And I always enjoy seeing how high #PeterReynolds hair is (pretty damn high here).

I had a great time speaking about Diana Dors at the @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social Festival at the Hebden Bridge Picture House today. I have no photos of me and @sarahbabsmorgan.bsky.social on stage, so here’s an arty shot I took on the way in.

I'm away for a couple of nights and have forgotten my alarm clock and my book. I am an idiot.

My grandma loved it, bought all the gear, followed the instructions and everything. I've no idea what happened to the fruits of her labours, sadly.

Look at Peter and his lovely 'hair'. I must admit I'm slightly obsessed by how high it gets sometimes. It's impressively bouffant here.

It’s good, but it’s not as good as The Satanic Rites of Dracula. I should write a book on that one…

I’d like to think he was smiling while we were chatting, but it was over the phone so it’s tricky to tell!

I interviewed him once. He was absolutely lovely.

Totally off the cuff tribute to Robert Redford by me and my mate. No research done, which is why there's a mistake or two in there... www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWcE...

I'm afraid I don't know. I'd love to sit down and have an in-depth chat with her. I see her posting bits and pieces every now and then on Facebook, and she has her own website. She'd make a great subject for a documentary actually - to be shown by @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social perhaps.

I adored Robert Redford. He was one of the first stars I took notice of after I became interested in film.
What a legacy he leaves.

I'm so, so sorry Ivan. He sounded like a real smasher. I hope you're as well as can be expected under the circumstances. Take care xx
