Remembering Richard Burton on his 100th birthday! The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1965) Director: Martin Ritt

Absolutely mythical scene

I watched The Remains of the Day for the first time last week because of Anthony Hopkins’ recently released memoir. I still can’t stop thinking about this film…this performance. Hopkins captures repressed emotion as well as any actor I’ve ever seen. Please give this movie a shot

Should be ready in time for the Ashes

Such extraordinary work - I’m transported (in time and emotion) straight back to the Weald (must look out my Shell Guide):

All Slow/ough Hor/use/s fans, read on - a really entertaining essay:

A beautiful piece by Rachel Cooke’s husband Tony Quinn. His description of Rachel’s late conversion to Catholicism is inexpressibly moving. Too many women my age are dying of ovarian cancer. My beloved friend Zoe in August, Rachel & Susanna Gross last week observer.co.uk/style/features…

Marisa Tomei stepping up to the witness stand in My Cousin Vinny (1992) is untouchable. One of the greatest courtroom mic-drops in comedy history.

The Greatest Setup To Dismiss A Batter-James Anderson to Kraigg Brathwaite, Grenada, 2015. James Anderson Was Unplayable That Day. The Ball with which he got the Wicket of Kraigg Brathwaite has to be One of The Greatest Ball Ever Bowled in Cricket History. GOAT🐐

Do watch this! And if you’re in Edinburgh next Saturday at 5pm , do come and hear the World Premiere of this great new piece!

Perfect story from Tom Stoppard obit: His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

So farewell then Tom Stoppard, such an inspiration for over 50 years. Here’s my toon for ⁦The Times and The Sunday Times⁩ , commissioned just before going to press #RIP #Stoppard #Theatre

I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you might nudge the world a little or make a poem that children will speak for you when you are dead. Tom Stoppard RIP 3 July 1937 – 29 November 2025

yes, absolutely wonderful and true. None of us who knew and loved him and were always knocked over by the wordplay, the wiring together of thought and feeling, will ever find the words to take his complete measure but Patrick M comes very close.

Incredible letter in The Times and The Sunday Times

A la fois époustoufflant, étrange et d’une parfaite logique…
