Last time I was in Guildford was in 2003 when A Jarful of Angels won the Pendleton May First Novel award. Today Deborah Edgington Benedikte Julia Faulkner and I am back here bringing In the Lady Garden to the good folk of Guildford.

@BBCSteveR @BBCPanorama @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne Thank you Steve, Ben and the rest of your team for your excellent reporting. Fascinating and insightful documentary. Huge respect and admiration for what you are all doing. Stay safe.

Double-headed eagles, white parrots and “defecating squirrels”: my experiences reporting from Russia. Our film ‘Our Man In Moscow’ for @BBCPanorama is available on @BBCiPlayer and on @BBCOne at 8pm tonight (Mon Feb 2). bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

It’s not often a movie comes along where audiences are left dumbfounded by the sheer humanity of it. Do yourselves a favour and see the Palme D’Or winner this weekend. Here is @KermodeMovie on Jafar Panahi’s #ItWasJustAnAccident

45 years ago I made a pitch for the Director-General job. Didn’t get it – mind you, I was only 13. But I did get a reply from Ian Trethowan, who was DG at the time. All these years later I’m proud to work for the BBC.

Funny, fearless and full of heart, ‘In the Lady Garden’ celebrates the resilience and rebellious spirit of women of a certain age and is a reminder that they still have empowering stories to tell which audiences clearly want to see. ⬇️ #theatre #tour #sellout #NottinghamPlayhouse

dynamic pricing has ravaged the West End - let’s cut to the chase: it is a greedy scam keeping ticket prices low and accessible is something that West End producers must urgently address 🎭
