The War Poets Collection as part of Edinburgh Napier University has been undergoing refurbishment works to mark 100 years since Craiglockhart Hydropathic was used as a hospital to treat shell-shocked officers during World War One. Books and other historical items are put on display within the university's Craiglockhart campus. A new bronze sculpture of Wilfred Owen which has been donated to the War Poets Collection by award-winning artist Anthony Padgett has also been added to the collection.
As part of the relaunch, a light projection, paying tribute to the building's history during the Great War, will illuminate the facade of the campus building from November 2nd until November 4th, 2016.

What a privileged life I lead. I know my contributions recently have turned more political. Sorry if that puts some of you off, but I can't help myself. And I will, I promise, return to more personal acting topics, when I return to work soon, with the marvellous Jeremy Herrin.
As I said I start work again soon. Before the play begins rehearsal I record another Bond book. Young James has been very busy. Fast moving action and fun, for me at least. I do love having a go at the voices. There's a good twist on my Charles Gray impression coming up.

Just wanted to say thank you for all the really lovely messages. I keep forgetting to say thank you, and I hope you don't think I take it all for granted, I don't, I really appreciate it.
Going to an Olivier Party this Monday at the V&A. Very posh. First Olivier do I have ever been to. Didn't get invited to the ceremony this year, which I have to say was a little disappointing, but hey ho. I am thrilled to go on Monday & hope to see a whole host of stars and people I really admire. I'll let you know how it goes. Hehehehe

I don't know how you are all feeling after the fallout of last week, but I just watched the brilliant Huffington Post's parody of Boris and his team. Please check it out. Very Funny. Let a bit of steam off.
What Happened ?????

Well, that was a complete cock-up from the Remain camp. From the UK as a whole. I had a very good time campaigning on the the Labour Remain Bus, twice. First time with my old chum from the days of the National Youth Theatre, Chris Bryant, and second time with Alan Johnson, who could well be leading the Labour Party before long. My analysis is quite simple.
The presentation of the question has to be delivered in a balanced way by our media. That means 50-50 coverage for both sides, however, the country didn't, I believe, split 50-50 at the beginning of the debate. The Remain side probably had over 70%, but that 20% difference gets completely neutralised by the media who have to make it seem even.
