What a Bloody Marvellous time I am having in the rehearsal rooms. Ben Miles is on terrific form. All the old cast members are on point and the newbies are putting us all to shame. Hilary is extraordinary. Having her in the room is like Oscar Wilde in the room when rehearsing Importance. Best of all for me tho, is working with Jeremy Herrin again. Brilliant.

I have just noticed a couple of questions on the forum. Gosh I am bad at answering them aren't I? So sorry. I would be happy to go there on a more regular basis and answer them. So please go ahead. I will, despite my piece yesterday also answer some political ones, but that's not really the point is it, so no spreading of false or nasty or dangerous non facts please. And also nothing too sycophantic. Nothing too gushy!
An interesting Guardian article this morning.

Having just scoffed a huge lunch I am going in for my first costume fitting on my Henry VIII fat suit! MMmmmm.
Morning all,
I just woke up back in England after a fabulous holiday in Greece. Wow. That was stunning. Just so good.
For some reason this morning I typed my name into Google to get to this page, well, not strictly true, I was on my way to this page, and suggestions came up. How much am I worth? How much do I get paid? What happened to me? All intriguing questions if you are on a hunt for info about actors. But OH MY! What a load of absolute drivel comes up. I had to laugh, and cry slightly. I wish I worth that much, I wish I got paid that much, and apparently I am still doing Inspector Lynley. Gosh. Talk about Fake News. The interweb is full of it.
I think Eoin Colfer's books are just such fun to read. It is a pure privilege to be allowed to voice them. I hope you all get a chance to listen to them at some point. They lift your spirits, particularly at this strange time.
Boris has obviously got so much of the government's policies wrong on the pandemic, I think. He sometimes claims that it is "Data not dates" that matters, and that he is lead by the science. Is he tho? It seems to me that he is led by self preservation. Opening up this week against all scientific advice, as numbers of infections are going thru the roof again, seems bonkers. And saying he will bring in Covid passports, in 6-8 weeks time? We all have the tech on our phones to bring that in now, and if some don't then surely they can get get it another way, via like a credit/store card?
