The Real Diana Dors
The story of Swindon-born film star Diana Dors is one of fame, glamour and intrigue. From the moment she came into the world, her life…

I guess I should mention that I wrote a book. My biography of uniquely British screen star Diana Dors is still available. www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/The-Real-Dia...

There’s currently a lovely programme about June Whitfield on BBC4. Reminds me that in my first ever job I had to write a press release pretending to be her. Channelling my inner Whitfield. Lovely stuff.

Listening to the @screenshotpod.bsky.social about Frankenstein. Great episode, but I can’t believe when discussing film adaptations they didn’t mention the absolute classic Weird Science.

As the bus slowly drives past a pub, a fight spills out onto the pavement. A guy dressed as a cowboy throws a punch and a lad on the top deck shouts, ‘Come on Woody, do it for Andy!’

Two women randomly sit next to each other on a busy bus, one older and one younger. They start chatting, and by the end of their journey are firm friends.

Late start to my Leeds International Film Festival viewing this year, but watched French light thriller A Private Life this evening. Fun and watchable, Jodie Foster is very good, but ultimately not quite sure what the film wanted to be. #LIFF2025

All my life people have often called me Anne instead of Anna. I’ve recently decided to assume it’s because I remind them of Anne Bancroft.
I have unfollowed people on social media who have called me Andy. It’s not my name. I am not an Andy. You might as well call me Ronald. Call people by the name they want.

Just watched BBC2’s The Interview with Anthony Hopkins. Such a raw, honest and insightful 30 minutes. It was disarming in places, we get so used to surface only stuff. Well worth a watch.

As Sarah says, such wonderful company ❤️
Whether you're a fan of his humour or not, it doesn't matter – this will be a fascinating chat with one of the nicest men in the world. Me and @real-meaning.bsky.social hung out with him backstage at a @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social event last month, and he and his wife were adorable.

Spoiler alert, sorry, but the massive elephant in the room is zero mention of Girls Aloud. I’m sure there’s a reason, but yet again FFS.
I’ve been watching the Girlbands Forever documentary. It’s fascinating but every few minutes I’m like ‘You’re kidding me…’, ‘Oh FFS…’ and ‘What an absolute arsehole…’
What an absolute bin fire of an industry it is.

The main takeaway from Girlbands Forever so far, is it’s mainly narky male managers forever.

My daughter keeps a low key eye on a pathetic local flag sh*ggers group on FB. They’ve cancelled the last couple of meetings, one because the football was on, and another because it was getting a bit dark as the clocks have changed.
