The legendary Des O’Connor unveils a British Comedy Society plaque to Carry On star and comedian Jack Douglas. Jack’s lady, Viv, Valerie Leon, Jacki Piper, Alan Curtis, Jess Conrad and Doreen Wise were amongst the guests. A beautiful day, marvellous food and a very friendly atmosphere combined to make a perfect tribute.

To the Apollo to see Noel Coward’s ‘Blithe Spirt’. Alison Steadman takes on the medium Madame Arcati while Robert Bathurst and Hermione Norris make perfect leads. The cheeky sprite Ruthie Henshall steals the show though. A delight.

A final farewell to Angie Scoular.

At the 2nd meeting of Mitch Benn’s Distraction Club. A great line-up including Rich Hall, but Distraction Kirsty Newton stole the show with a brilliantly original set. Here’s to the next time… 7th June. Put it in your diary.

Off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz… when he landed in St. Albans in his TARDIS. Honestly! Bobby Darvo and Sarah Jane Honeywell brought great fun and sauciness to the classic story. Great fun.
