So it turns out they spent Β£715 million on sending a grand total of FOUR volunteers to Rwanda.

Emily Richard obituary
Actor who toured with the RSC, played Tess of the dβUrbervilles on radio and starred in Lorna Doone on television
I only found out today of the death of this beautiful actress. I was so lucky to see her in many productions at the RSC, but the stand-outs for me were as Irina in Three Sisters and as Kate Nickleby in Nicholas Nickleby, two truly great productions, both of which
I saw multiple times. So very sad.

There was a moment while watching A Marvellous Party at the Prince of Wales Theatre this evening, when Judi Dench was on stage watching a video of her friend Maggie Smith playing Myra in Hay Fever, and it made me well up. And watching Judi, Derek Jacobi, Ian McKellen & Patricia Routledge all

Such a fun evening at Theatre Royal Drury Lane tonight for Sandi Toksvig & The QI Elves. I laughed and learned a lot. What more can you want from a night at the theatre?

Thirty million dogs are slaughtered for human consumption every year, many of them killed by live torching and other inhumane methods.
βA lot of these dogs are stolen pets or collected from the streets.β
