@DeightonDossier Yes, indeed it does

@JakeKerridge You will rarely find any two readers, or any author, who agree completely on a top five list! XPD does feel like Netflix- or Prime-worthy material, though

Len Deighton’s five essential books telegraph.co.uk/books/authors/… - fine choices by @JakeKerridge XPD perhaps the dark horse on there!

@busdrivingfraud I’m very glad to hear that, I am a great admirer of his and it was a pleasure to write about him

@JakeKerridge Dear Jake. You put an obituary in the Telegraph for my father Eric Allan and I wanted to thank you for such a nice write up. It has meant a lot to our whole family. Thank you

@busdrivingfraud @AboutTheArchers @BBCRadio4 My pleasure -- we'll look forward to hearing from them. Thanks Mike

@JakeKerridge @AboutTheArchers @BBCRadio4 Hi Jake Very humbled that you would consider this. I’ve passed on you message and email to my sister and mother as I live in Ontario Canada. They will be in touch I’m sure Thank you so much for thinking of us

@AboutTheArchers #TheArchers @BBCRadio4 Eric Allan, the actor who played Bert Fry for the last 25 years of Bert’s life has sadly passed away quietly in his sleep. He loved the Archers fans (addicts) and had nothing but positivity from all that he met. He thanks you all.
