My flatmate who worked at Forbidden Planet once served Fenella Fielding. She was in her sixties & he in his twenties but he was love-struck. She said "Thank you Daaaaahling"

We met Bryan Cranston in a Soho St. He's a friend of a friend. We stopped to talk, & for us to be gobsmacked. A Soho fire appliance got stuck on a corner & let its sirens off every 20 secs. Every time we tried to talk it chimed in. Eventually we all smiled & had to give up. Separate directions.

I loved Night Manager 2. Agree that the Pacino/DeNieo was great. Thought Hugh Laurie was outstanding. Felt sorry for his dogs.
