Great night out attending the Scottish Mental Health Film Awards at the Social Hub in Glasgow (strictly as an audience member) Some really inspiring work from across the globe. And such a rousing speech at the end from actor and humanitarian David Hayman. Thanks to Den Glickson for the invitation ☺️

Rest in Peace, Prunella Scales. Such a wonderful talent (her portrayal of "Sybil" in Fawlty Towers is a masterclass in comedic acting) I remember seeing her and the late Timothy West in the reception of The Citizens Theatre a few years back. They looked so happy together. Reunited once again...

This was just wonderful. Brought both a laugh and a wee tear to the eye in equal measures. A few familiar faces in there too. Check it out when you can...

As is my way, I'm once again late to the party. But man was it worth the wait. Believe the hype: it's a goddam masterpiece. And it could not be more timely. Di Caprio is excellent, but Sean Penn's performance is just off the scale...

Poor ole Donald. Maybe someone should set up the Nobel Anti-Peace Prize (similar to the Razzie Awards during the Oscars) That way Trump could be a serious contender, closely followed by his best pals Netanyahu, Putin and Kim Jong Un

Note to self (once again) Follow your gut straight from the off if you sense yet another time waster on the horizon with no sense of professional courtesy or artistic integrity. Life's too short...
