2 pointsIt never ceases to amaze me how often this fact is overlooked. I believe Charles was quoted in the BBC article that, "It's not quite as easy at 95. It's hard enough at 73".

2 pointsMaggie Smith interview from May. Turns 88 next year, but I reckon she's got another few left in her yet. Robbie Coltrane recorded message for a fan, again from May. Looks okay. I still don't think he'll see 80 though. For the record, couldn't find any recent clips of Michael Gambon. Make of that what you will.

1 pointI am paying for Netflix so my daughter can use it. Her boyfriend was paying for Britbox so I was using that but I am not going to do any more different subscriptions. I wanted to watch Foundation but that was on Amazon. I will wait till it is somewhere I can see it for free Daughter's boyfriend has stopped paying for Britbox now.

1 pointStar Trek Discovery is off Netflix now and moved to Paramount+. Another new streaming platform. I'm pissed off. Guess i'm going to pirate it from somewhere because no idea what else is on Paramount+ to make it all worth buying a subscription. I already have subscription to Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime and Britbox.
