My son, Tom is currently filming a movie with Ron Howard. He came home from set last evening (driven home, that is). “Dad, you know when you get a call sheet on a movie?” ‘”Er, no. Not really.” “Oh….” Awkward!
Tom Holland is now taller than me. This is very exciting for me. As a young dad I was once asked by the BBC what I hoped for my first son. Dunno, but definitely to be taller than me… I meant this as a joke but secretly I really meant it as well. Well, last…
I very much enjoyed watching HOW I LIVE NOW on the day that it was released – and I enjoyed it for a number of reasons. Perhaps not a film I would normally seek out – but I felt I had to on this occasion, not least because I know so many people who are in it….

Just so you know, there is a new thing called the BBC iplayer which I…
I was interested to hear on the news this morning that another gang of remote bank thieves have been apprehended. This time a gang targeting Barclays and £1.9m to go with the team who got clobbered last week for trying to rip off Santander. With much fan fare this morning – the metropolitan police have…
Not a bus man really. My kids are though. They take buses to school and here, there and everywhere. Buses feature large in the Holland family. Just yesterday for instance, I saw two buses – one emblazoned with Naomi Watts in the forthcoming Diana – and one emblazoned with Saoirse Ronan in the forthcoming How I Live…
Bumped in to an old school friend the other day. I’m talking primary school here, so going back over 30 years. She recognised me instantly, presumably because of my career? Dom – she called out and immediately I felt an enormous pressure. This was not a fan. This was someone who knew me – from my…
Having spent masses of hours writing books – I have realised that their success is driven by their prominence on-line and to do this – Facebook is a good way forward.
