@ObserverUK @chloehadj One thing only mentioned in passing is the failure of due diligence from the publisher and agent. A memoir should have facts verified, otherwise it should just be badged as fiction. From JT Leroy to James Frey to “Raynor Winn” and many others, when will they learn?

By the late 1970’s Peter Brook had established a considerable collector base and a reputation for atmospheric Pennine snow scenes, like ‘Edge of the Wood’, enabling him to retire early from school teaching to become a full-time artist. (Sold by Hartleys Auctioneers in 2015)

@DrFrancisYoung I just started listening to the audiobook of Mansfield Park today, narrated by Juliet Stevenson.... I guess its because of the J.A. docudrama the BBC just put out.

I’ve long been obsessed with the 1983 BBC adaptation of Mansfield Park (my favourite Jane Austen novel) and I notice it is currently available on iPlayer bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

Last night I was doing the excellent Monday night pub quiz at The Junction Tavern in Tufnell Park. There was a Disney round. As the quizmaster asked “What Disney film is being rereleased on May 21st?” a bus went past the window. I was the only one who saw it
