Musings...What does becomes a legend most... you, lady, you!

Congratulations to Angela Lansbury who won her fifth Tony Award this weekend. Her acclaimed performance as 'Madame Arcarti' in the revival of Coward's BLITHE SPIRIT has earned her another dangling disc to put alongside those she won for MAME (1966), DEAR WORLD (1969), GYPSY (1974) and SWEENEY TODD (1979).

A nice insight on a life, spotted on a Borehamwood bus in the late afternoon: written on his hand was "Mam's Birthday" and "Tesco".

Oh well that's the end of my year, THE APPRENTICE is over! We have next year to look forward to but sadly we will not have the presence of Margaret Mountford who is standing down as Suralan's "eyes and ears" on the tasks to finish her degree in the studying of Ancient Greek papyrus documents. You will be missed Margaret!

A tiny section of the first night brayers for BIG BROTHER 10. You would have thought hitting such a milestone they would have actually made an effort putting in housemates who brought something new to the Diary Room and not the ones here who almost disappeared off the screen as you watched them... copies of copies of copies of previous housemates.

And returning to the subject of Legends... Mother Kelly's Doorstep is empty now as Danny La Rue has left to strut his wigs, beads, feathers and chiffon on a bigger stage. I wrote an appreciation of this very special star a few years back... do the clicky here
