Bored of reading all the 'Hugh Grant is a revelation' reviews for A Very English Scandal - he's always been massively undervalued as an actor. Been brilliant since his work in Maurice. Also Russell t Davis script is stunning.
Everyone who came across Una knows how dazzling and extraordinary she was. Megawatts of light and lightness just poured out if her... and we can all honour her memory by taking some of that light with us into the world and sharing it. She will be so missed. Love you Una x
I'm away working for first time since covid... Opened my suitcase to find my 9yr old daughter had packed these two elebeauties to keep me company. Nobody is EVER going to convince me that humans aren't intrinsically kind...
Alan Rickman was one of our smartest actors. What he’s describing is why I never want or need to see actors do monologues. All it shows me is that you can memorize, not act. Acting is listening and reacting in the moment. (🎥:

Yeah... Um...one of the kids snaffled my phone... Apologies to all Gabriels out there, its a fine name... which is why we gave it to one of our sons as a middle name.
RIP Michael Gambon... The absolute best. Extraordinary. No-one like him. Clown genius. Loved him. A thrilling force of nature. And so fucking funny. We are so much poorer without you. Thank you xx
I was talking to my daughter ...
Me: I need to do my work
Zoë: You love your work more than me
Me: I do not
Zoë: Then why are you hugging your script and not me?
Me: So it doesn't slip out of my hands.
Zoë: ....Like our relationship!

She was a good queen and by all accounts, a lovely lady...I met her briefly once, she seemed kind and was soooo glamorous, but with her passing, I think it's probably right to call time on the idea of a monarch as head of state. RIP Queen Elizabeth.
Oh well...Looks like I'm going to have to work out how Instagram works. If this site goes down...I want to say a heartfelt thanks to all who were part of this little community. Its been really fun and so inspiring to see how supportive people are among the community.. Big ❤️ 🍩
No!! Not Sinead!! I absolutely adored her. She sang with such naked soul. The most raw beautiful artistry. Honestly...nothing compared...Rest in deep glorious peace.
Took one of our kids to A&E tonight, who'd hurt their hand. She's fine(ish) .. I'm in total awe of the staff... especially the young nurse and doctor who treated her...they were so kind and gentle and concerned with my child, in the midst of all what's going on... ❤️ The NHS
Let's all be smarter and kinder and more loving in the new year. Here's to health and inspiration and as much fun as we can squeeze out of the next twelve months. Xxx
Happy new year to you all. Thanks for building and contributing to this little community. As E M Forster famously said... 'only connect' . Our connections keep us sane. This has been a turbulent year but let's wish/hope/dream for a steadier happier future. Xxxx
Thanks for all the birthday wishes. And special, big thanks to everyone who's donated to 'safe passage' charity helping refugee children. You've already raised over two thousand, two hundred pound. That's magnificent! X
My dear old Dad passed away this morning just shy of his 90th birthday. Maurice was a wonderful man and a real character right to the end. Huge thanks to the brilliant staff on Ward 16 of

Loved Pep Guardiola talking to every Bristol City player after the game last night. Maybe it's that positive, total love of football that makes him the so fkin successful.
Rest in peace Harry Leslie Smith. An inspiration. If the rest of us could bring just a fraction of his power, passion and humanity to bear, the world would be a much safer and happier place for everyone. Condolences to his family. Sleep well you wonderful man
