I once passed Ian Bleasdale, ("Casualty", "Holy City", "Doctors" etc.) at a pedestrian crossing in Bristol. We looked at each other without incident before going about our days. A passing motorist beeped his horn in recognition at Josh, trying to get his attention.
A million years when Michael Crawford was in Barnum at the Victoria Palace and I was in my Starlight Express phase, I held then open for him at the Burger King on the corner of Wilton Road. He said thank you.

Unsure how Alan Bleasdale is viewed these days but he was once maybe (with Potter) the leading UK TV dramatist. His sole movie is NO SURRENDER, a black comedy about sectarianism & an (uncomfortable) attempt at grappling with the Troubles. More interesting than successful. Great cast. Hard to find...

This is a great piece.
I have never thought about this before, which is always interesting for a start, but it's so well-reasoned and interesting.
Highly recommended.
John Bleasdale has the juice.
