Thank you x

Bless you darling. It’s very lovely news :)

It was so lovely. And a great privilege.

Oh he was.

Sorry for your loss. Hope you’re ok.
Some lovely good news on a sad day though x

Thank you xx

Oh, or maybe Reign 6.

This one slightly predates me. Abominable 2 was always with us from the first list I saw. So that was the last return before I became aware of the gaps!

I’m on BBC Breakfast tomorrow. About 7.50am.
Fun to be had.

John Halstead has a way with a tale and lots to tell. A lovely romp through theatrical & television anecdotes.👏🏿

I’m sure you’re not. Well: keep in touch. I’d love to be able to help if we can.

Strongroom is great. Derren Nesbitt! Colin Gordon! Yes please.

Could we get someone to meet you at home and accompany you? Sorry if these are intrusive questions or ineptly put.

It’s no bother. I’d like to help.

Well, I’m happy to maybe hook you up with someone who could help.
No need to be embarrassed. I’d really like to get this sorted.
