There was also an old Parkinson interview with Orson Welles last week, marvellous stuff.

I saw the one where he interviews Richard Burton. Burton spouted all sorts of impenetrable stuff, like "I woke up one morning and the world was just too beautiful, and I couldn't bear it, so I decided to die". Parky nodded at this paradoxical nonsense, and offered "you decided to commit suicide?", which Burton dismissed with a laugh "no!". It turned out Burton meant he decided to drinking himself to death, which isn't the same apparently.

I learned nothing about Burton except that he liked a drink. Which I'd already suspected.

Burton was tricky, not a man who enjoyed his alcholism as much as Oliver Reed.

A 1970s episode of Blue Peter on BBC4. Way before my time, but rather fun! Much better than it is now, anyway. (Goes without saying.)

'Curious & Unusual Deaths' on Crime channel.

Any of you seen it?

Channel 4's Comedy Gala.

Can't believe he actually did that.

Who did what?

Touched a lady's boobs.
Just seemed a bit wrong.

He's actually been the funniest so far though.

Laughing out loud Nice to see you back, chip.

I did want a close up of his pants.

I sort of forgot I was watching it and switched over, missing the end. Was Noel Fielding on?

Season finale of The Simpsons. Lady Gaga is a guest voice. Meh.

Have just realised I currently hate everyone on Eastenders.
*stops watching*

It can't be worse than Katy Perry's live appearance.
