Pants. On. Fire.

Okay, I'll watch the programme after my book launch, which, even though it's all sorted and there's nothing to do but show up, is taking up a lot of my time. In an exciting way! I am also finally getting my authorial website set up, although I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to keep …

Well, You Should Have Just Watched It On Telly Like Everyone Else!

SEE BELOW Yeah, well, okay, so... shut up. I just couldn't. I couldn't bear to sit there and know that other people, people I know, were watching it at the same time. It's the equivalent of shutting your eyes, and thinking that just because you can't see someone else, that someone else can't see you. …

It’s a Wrap

So, the production team asked if I would be willing to have two lessons in a row on the day of the shoot. And if I'd take Rinaldo for the second one. That'll teach me to blog in good time... As I mentioned here, it wasn't my best hour. First up, though, the Rebel yell. …

Ready for My Close-up… Or Am I?

I got a call from a friend of mine who's a film and television producer. It was great to hear from her, as we haven't met in a while, and we chatted away, and then Breda got down to business. She's producing a series entitled Consuming Passions — and I could already see where this …
