I had it on the legendary That Summer! compilation and it was 'Eddie and the Hot Rods' on there. (One of my selections for this game)

There's a big Sainsbury a few minutes down the road from the garage where I take my car for MOT. I used to go in their café and have breakfast while I was waiting for the car to be done, but they closed it ages ago. Really miss it. It's about another five minutes walk into the town centre so it was dead handy.

I think I have 8, not 7? Janey Godley, Trevor Sorbie, John Prescott, Jimmy Carter, Johnnie Walker, Linda Nolan, Denis Law, Charlotte Raven

This thing should be put down.

Charlotte Raven has died, so - ooh - King Charles goes into the team. New 3rd sub - Gene Hackman

I've got Charlotte Raven, right down in 10th place unfortunately.

And Julie Burchill.

I still think he's on course to come to a bad end, one way or another.

The first I knew of it was a news item about Mick Jagger doing the title song, and I thought "That sounds interesting". So I read the first book, enjoyed it, and in the fullness of time watched the first episode. Was a bit disappointed as I found it hard to follow, despite having read the book! Anyway I went on to read the whole series and the TV series was getting such good reviews that I went back to it. Yes, KST is perfect as Diana Taverner. She has that ice-cold demeanour, a person who will take no prisoners!

She's never been in films, that's why. Pretty much exclusively TV and stage work. Most people will know her from Birds Of a Feather, a long-running sitcom, which doesn't display her range. She played an absolute blinder as a convicted murderer in a mini-series called The Sculptress some years ago. It was an eye-opener compared with her comic role in BOAF.
