That’s what my wife says — both things, actually — but I quickly lose myself in television and don’t notice. After all, I’ve been ping that for 60 years.7!

Not sure where I’ll be yet, but I’d love to do a show at the delightful theatre in Bury St Edmunds. My dad used to say Bury was where the Simpsons first climbed INTO the gutter. Maybe I’ll see you there….
