How about the Piece of Shit Prize?

I had Elaine Paige (gag about her hit “I blow him so well”) in London. Going again in Woking later this month.

I saw him locally in 1996. Although the two headline stars are great I had seen them before so Norm was my primary reason to attend despite his woefully small credit (should have been ‘and’ in a box).

He was on 5 editions of Celebrity Squares in 1975 too, having appeared in numerous of the original Hollywood Squares.

Now?!

If you remember next Monday there’s equal disappointment - due to football they’ve moved all of BBC2 and BBC4’s quizzes to Tuesday.

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

Put a pound in the collection. #ifyouknowyouknow

RIP Stanley Meadows who has died aged 94 - Insp. Pat Keightley in THE IPCRESS FILE... #FilmSky

I recently rewatched Nothing But The Best which features an uncredited (pre-George Harrison) Pattie Boyd prominently placed in one scene.

On her centenary.

BBC Two - Angela Lansbury at the NFT Actress Angela Lansbury talks to Rex Reed and audience members at London's NFT. From 1973.

Paging @markaldridge.info … Angela Lansbury at the NFT (from 1973) coming up on BBC Four on Thursday 16 October (following another screening of The Mirror Crack’d). It says BBC Two in the link since that’s where it was originally broadcast 52 years ago. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

It was.

This triggers a memory of being there when you met Denis Norden.

This is actually interesting but my mind just took an overwhelming diversion in the direction of “Gateway to the South”.

I didn't. But Brucie was there. His ashes are interred under the stage.

Today I spent the afternoon in the London Palladium and now I'm in the Royal Albert Hall. Only the best venues will do.

I went to church a couple of days ago to see Annie Lennox. Praise be to the book tour.

Amelia Earache more like!

“I was lying in bed the other night when I heard tap, tap, tap at the bloody window pane. I looked out - you know who it was? Bloody Amelia Earhart.”

If you see this, post a bridge.

So glad I got to see him in the 1989 revival of Stop the World - I Want to Get Off.
Years later I noticed in the programme that the revolving children in the cast included Martine McCutcheon and Denise Van Outen “before they were famous”.

For Your Hand Only.

Well as expected Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and All The President‘s Men are the tribute films for BBC4’s Robert Redford night on Thursday 9 October:

Beatles fan? Want to hear about new research from brilliant Beatles historian Obadiah Jones? You're in luck! 5 seasons his excellent podcast are available now covering everything from the Hard Day's Night chord to Greece '67, the 10,000 hours myth to the Sgt. Pepper medals. Enjoy!

Fact!

Yeah but the demographics …
