Josette Simon breaks down her trailblazing roles – and explains why we need to stop saying "colourblind casting" This International Women's Day, Josette Simon looks back at some of her most iconic roles.

I hope that last bit in particular gets back to Jan Chappell, who mentioned in answer to a Q at the BFI that she was saddened to have heard rumours Josette was unhappy about her role, because it had been so nice to work with her.

Josette Simon lays years of speculation to rest in the lovely new RT interview (paywall-free if you create account). Dayna was 'a wonderful character', 'a weapons expert - really cool!', ćShe wasn't Black Dayna. She was just a person.'
Colleagues were 'lovely and fun to be around and learn from.' /+

It's a bit like how the National Rail app thinks everybody needs alerts about any major problems anywhere in Britain, every single search. It knows where you are and where you're going, but I guess someone in the dev team lost the argument about adding a filter for alerts by relevance to location.

Ah that might have been what led to me noticing a difference then too.

Complaining about people complaining, with a simultaneous snitch-tagging? Elite.

Yeah it used to make better calls than the BBC's for me on days that could go either way, I'm not sure it still does.

Met Office app suddenly has bigger cloud icons but assumes my priority is finding out the weather right now where I currently am, maybe the next 2 days instead of week ahead. And instead of typing a placename on the home screen, I have to navigate to My Locations page then add it.

Do you like the costumes from Season D of Blakes 7? Do you like the sound of Eurovision nil point songs?

I think your task with those babies requires a bit more fitness than mine

Bloody well hanged, if I do say so myself.

32 mins to my next Teams call let's goooo open.spotify.com/track/2auLRz...

Cataract?

I could do a pitch perfect Cylon through my dad's harmonica but that wasn't quite so radiophonic.

Simply the greatest moment.

Did we ever find out if they bothered with a prosecution, or was putting the frighteners on him enough?

Cataract?

I'd only contest your second point 😍

It’s what Noele Gordon would have wanted.

She's got Bette Davis Eyes

She's also got Greta Garbo's lymphatic system and Jayne Mansfield's left big toe

As museums go, it's pretty disturbing to be honest

I'd had 4 hours sleep and got up before sunrise, I'd just met and been charmed by Ronnie Corbett backstage, I wasn't going to miss out on free anything.

2007 so that was but a twinkle in his eye. I was dreading the risk of being asked to eat anything with coriander in with millions of viewers but fortunately they swerved into basil with the fish instead.

A win-win for Harry Hill memes there tonight though.

Did I accidentally invent aura farming?

I'd never even seen Saturday Kitchen but a workmate won the phone in completion and her boyfriend got cold feet so, after my photo was approved by their production office(!), I was up at 5am driving to a TV studio in the middle of nowhere

You in another decade

I hope someone's made a full backup of Wikipedia from about a year ago. Maybe we all should print it out and bind it.
