Saw The Beatles Anthology with a glimpse of Derek Royle as Jolly Jimmy in Magical Mystery Tour. I saw him in this 1988 West End production and I vividly recall that after I then rushed off to Waterloo to catch a train to see Royle already ahead of me on the escalator! He died just over a year later.

Anyone know what was being filmed in Pall Mall today? Lots of barriers and a few crowd staff and these military vehicles in evidence.

RIP Robert Redford (1936-2025).

I was lucky enough to see him with T-Bone Burnett being interviewed by Nick Hornby at indigo at the O2 in 2012.

I’ve been watching the satirical black comedy Nothing But The Best (1964) starring Alan Bates and Denholm Elliott.

But who do I also see on screen here as a prominently placed uncredited background artiste/extra? Something in the way she moves looks wonderful.
