I now have the results of the cryptic post placed earlier. These results mean I can't tell you what the post meant, but those of you who know what it meant will understand that the fact that it didn't work out is bad. More bad than I thought it would be. Still, I take heart from Fran.
RIP Leo McKern, alas. Everyone'll go on about Rumpole, and Falstaff, etc. etc., but just watch the end credits of Help!. There's a bit where he looks off to his left, then his eyes swivel back to look at you. Excellent.
Quality continuity! Now could you please bring back, Gonch, Vince Savage, Zammo, Trevor, et al. Heck I might even leave work early to watch Grange Hill!
