I’ve been even more intently glued to ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!’ than usual this year. My good friend and good Doctor, Colin Baker, did a splendid job of being his jolly, intelligent, kind and helpful self. He left, a more svelte and scruffed man, with his head held high. Now, Ashley Roberts to win!

On the eve of its 60th anniversary, it’s a welcome trip back into the world of Agatha Christie’s ‘The Mousetrap’ at the St. Martins theatre. Dame Agatha concocted the greatest whodunnit of all and she’s still getting away with it. Here’s to the next time!

A heavy day of meetings is lightened by Kelly Brook guest-starring with the Parisian Crazy Horse girls in ‘Forever Crazy’. Give me a Ding! Give me a Dong! As for me, I’m off to join the Chain Gang!

I pushed forward with my own Unbound project, ‘Forgotten Heroes of Comedy’, with beers and banter with John Mitchinson, Justin Pollard and Terry Jones. The book is coming soon!

Fun and frolics with Clive Doig, Bernard Holley, Toby Hadoke and the gang. The evening saw the book launch for Adrian Teal’s ‘Gin Lane Gazette’ from Unbound. Suitably enough, it was at the City of London Distillery.

A dead secret filming assignment for BBC television. A brilliant, closely-knit crew prove, once again, why the Beeb are the best broadcasting organization in the world. Always remember that!

It’s a welcome return to the Cinema Museum for the Michael Medwin interview tomorrow from 7.30pm. As an actor, Medwin starred in the first film Sid James made, ‘Black Memory’. He gave a memorable cameo as Kenneth Connor’s boxing manager in ‘Carry On Nurse’ and a wise-cracking turn in ‘Doctor at Sea’. In partnership with Albert Finney, Medwin became one of the most influential film producers of the 1960s and 1970s. Later work included the television series ‘Shoestring’ and the Mel Smith comedy ‘Colin’s Sandwich’. It promises to be a wonderful evening.
