It's impossible to overpraise Gordon MacRae's charm.

@eggsbened @daveainsworth63 @ks_countertenor I watched 'The Major and the Minor' at the weekend and was quite impressed by how he managed not to be too creepy.

@daveainsworth63 @ks_countertenor Good actor, less great human being.

Remembering the brilliant Welsh actor Ray Milland (Alfred Jones) who died on this day in 1986. The first Welsh actor to win an Oscar. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #RayMilland #TheLostWeekend #DialMForMurder #TheManWithTheXRayEyes #BeauGeste #TheBigClock #LoveStory #TheHouseInNightmarePark #AcesHigh #Gold

@scottm Perhaps this one will be third time lucky...

@JuliaMusings With so many shows about Nannerl, she’s in danger of not being forgotten enough to have any more plays written about her

The Other Mozart is not to confused with Saving Mozart (on last August at The Other Palace)…

Very proud that my great-great aunt Marlow Moss is today's Guardian supplement cover star theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…

Every day a little sting in the heart and in the head. Every move and every breath, and you hardly feel a thing, brings a perfect little death.

Three years after High Noon, Fred Zinnemann directed the film version of Oklahoma!, featuring another frontier wedding that goes just a wee amiss... londontheatre.co.uk/reviews/high-n…

Helen Mirren identified as 'the actress from The Fast and the Furious' by someone in the crowd outside the High Noon press night. Also spotted: Derek Jacobi, Mark Rylance, Charles Dance, Anne-Marie Duff... and Bruno Tonioli.

@Thriftygal I'm looking forward to seeing it next week.

Loved talking about a North East success story as Gerry & Sewell prepares to open in the West End: exeuntmagazine.substack.com/p/seeing-the-n…

2026 greetings and a guest review of KENREX: juliarank.substack.com/p/welcome-2026

No one encapsulates the British ruling class like Osborne. A man of no discernible talent effortlessly finding himself in a myriad of high profile roles by dint of birth, treating everything with a smug, breezy insouciance including the millions ruined by his role as chancellor.

@Noirchick1 Gordon MacRae.

Who do you consider the most handsome actor of all time?

5 stars for my favourite Matthew Bourne show: londontheatre.co.uk/reviews/the-re…

@StuartReviews @E_N_O @LBO_Theatre I didn't care for her cameos either...

A few raised eyebrows last evening @E_N_O as Mel Giedroyc stole the show for all the wrong reasons. Full review to follow. @LBO_Theatre

@culturalcap1 So many interesting points!

The memory of passion versus the dying embers of love thrums through #FallenAngels as #NoelCoward explores a woman's right to determine what happens to her body and her refusal to be shamed for it maryamphilpottblog.wordpress.com/2025/12/01/fal…

'This is a piece of theatre that serves as pure pleasure. Lerner and Loewe’s masterpiece is spruced up and looking in its prime.' Read our review of My Fair Lady at the Mill at Sonning whatsonstage.com/news/my-fair-l…

ENO's Pinafore is OK but Charles Court Opera does it better: londontheatre.co.uk/reviews/hms-pi…
