In my inimitable way I have been blogging for years on the wrong site. Via my old school mate, nerds are now being recruited and set to work… Their fiendishly clever workings will make this site the place for all things DH – including backlist books and shows plus the new show The Glory Year…
To the Langham Hotel in London this week to hook up again with James Dunn for an event to raise money for Debra. It was a The Great Chefs Dinner led ably and very generously by Michael Roux. We sat in an ante-room with James and his mum, Lesley – and with no time pressures,…
Something rather lovely happening this week and a timely reminder of Eclipsed.
Back in the day, I was a team captain on a flagship comedy panel show on Channel Five called Bring Me The Head of Light Entertainment. There are so many ironies in this statement, I won’t trouble listing them here plus I am sure that you spot them for yourself – for those of you so inclined.

The intrepid comedian was up bright and early for his appearance on the Sky News Paper Review show, which takes place between 6-10am every day. As part of his appearance on the leading news channel, he sat alongside Sarah-Jane…
