Paul Cresser - the Hamster pin up (apparently 😂😂)

Treasure every moment. You never know which picture will be the last.

I can’t believe I’m typing this, but I’m devastated to say that my beautiful husband Andy lost his battle with depression on Saturday evening. His daughter and I along with all the family are absolutely heartbroken. 💔

The eyes!! 😳

Post you from a different era.

Back in the early nineties, when the Universe was less than half its present size and I was ‘straight’, I got my first taste of “being on the telly” as a contestant on Bruce Forsyth’s Generation Game!

Good luck - see you in your next regeneration..

Unfortunately not!

#throwbackthursday

Visiting some of the locations used in The Smugglers back in 2021.

Why, thank you! ☺️

Happy 48th birthday K9!

In which National Treasure, Toby Hadoke refers to me as “a bit of a hottie” - that quote is definitely going on the CV! 😎👍🤣

Call me Bubbles!

Heres my #bloomfiebubble

This used to be my playground.

And it goes without saying that this was the best review I’ve ever had. Because it came from Nick bloody Courtney!!

And it was my adaptation of a Kitty monologue that earned me this review from the Brigadier himself (I changed all the references to the guests at the convention where I performed it)!

I can see a clear age division between those mourning Patricia Routledge as Hyacinth Bucket and those mourning her as Kitty.
I’m firmly in camp Kitty! 😬

You can barely see your hand in front of your face!

I understand we’re all putting in our requests - can I have The Savages and The Abominable Snowmen please? Oh, and The Faceless Ones. And Power of the Daleks obviously…
And maybe The Myth Makers…

That is Torquay Madam! May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel window?!

Oh no, not Kitty ☹️😢

Episode 2 of the Re-Education of Brianca Brixton is now available on YouTube - featuring my first appearance as Arthur!

youtu.be/7HLCz89K8cE?...

But I’d struggle to cut much from your playlists!

Ones I’d want to include:

The Saxophone Song
James and the Cold Gun
The Kick Inside
Don’t Push Your Foot on the Heartbrake
Hammer Horror
Violin
Sat in Your Lap
Get Out of My House
The Big Sky
Jig of Life
The Fog
Never Be Mine
King of the Mountain (live)
Snowed in at Wheeler Street
Among Angels

I’ve been thinking of what I’d include, many similarities but also many differences - and it still wouldn’t scratch the surface!!

I can’t explain it either, but it’s deep and it’s real!! 😍

🤣

At a stretch you could have Knobhunter and Knoblord I guess?! 🤔

Or to take it further Ass-knob-in 😳

…for it - not least the wonderful Ben and Polly who bring a whole new energy to the series.

…2 stories that take a massive leap forward and set the templates for so much that was to come (and they are both great btw), you almost have to pity the poor old Smugglers, one of the last gasps of the programme’s initial premise sandwiched between these giants, but it still has a lot going…

Quite a period of change (and not just the obvious one) - from the whimsy of Gunfighters and Toymaker (my least favourite Classic story), through the pulp Sci Fi of Savages (a story that *sounds* amazing and tops my list of most wanted missing episodes) to War Machines and 10th Planet…

Preparing to film my scenes in The Re-education of Brianca Brixton - the first episode is available on YouTube with episode 2 dropping this Friday!
