Like most people waking up on this miserable day, the bank holiday felt even more downbeat with the announcement of the passing of Lord Attenborough – a man who definitely deserved his knighthood unlike so many these days. Rare for me to encounter such an illustrious man but I did have the pleasure of meeting…
Lots of texts and emails from friends and family about Tom’s interview in the Metro today – and not London bound myself today, I might not have seen it. An interview that I have done myself in the past – and an interview for Tom that was not without it’s issues – the journo asking…
A rare thing this week in the Holland household when the entire family watched and love a TV show. No not Sherlock but Splash – watched on catch-up TV which comes without adverts and begs the question, why does anyone watch anything in real time on any channel outside the BBC? On all realities shows,…
I very much enjoyed watching HOW I LIVE NOWĂ‚Â on the day that it was released – and I enjoyed it for a number of reasons.Ă‚Â 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….
For those of you who have read this blog from its inception – or have read my book, how tom holland eclipsed his dad – you might forgive me now for taking TomĂ‚Â and my strange family lifeĂ‚Â a little bit for granted.Ă‚Â I have long since dealt with the idea of being eclipsed and in the Holland…
Last night was a brilliant snap shot in to myĂ‚Â life. A mate of mine was around with the DVD version of myĂ‚Â downloadable stand-up show called -Ă‚Â Dominic Holland is aliveĂ‚Â in Tring. My mate shoved on the DVD version – Nikki and the boys chucked theirĂ‚Â opinions inĂ‚Â and quickly, we signed off on the art work and the…
Nice of the producers of The Impossible to release the DVD on my birthday (yesterday).Ă‚Â It made for an exciting trip to HMV. The whole family were in tow but Tom and I went up to the counter together.Ă‚Â I half wondered if he might get recognized from the box. He didn’t. ‘I’ll get this Tom.’…
Last night was full of mixed emotions for me. Pride that my son should win an award. Well done Tom. Bemusement to be in a room full of film luminaries who belong to an exclusive club that I have never managed to join myself despite repeated applications – and paraded before me were tooĂ‚Â many films…
This Saturday morning I was alerted by three answerphone messages that Tom had featured on the BBC’s Today programme in a feature of children being exploited. Understandably concerned and possibly angry I fired up my PC. Lil Poopy anyone? No, me neither. He is a 9 year old American rap star who is making headlines…
It is a good experience getting stuff published in newspapers. The Mail asked me to write a feature after seeing my earlierĂ‚Â piece in The Independent. A good experience because it is the oxygen of publicity all epublishers need – or because it is just something new and exciting anyway? Probably a mixture of both. Anyway…
