    No criticism intended, by the way. Of course Alec Baldwin's money and fame increase his sex appeal; that's no shallower than his own liking for his wife's youth and bendiness. Besides, contentedness is not necessarily in the eye of the beholder. Anna Nicole Smith was left nothing in that lecherous old billionaire's will and died from a drug overdose some years later.

    There is plenty of other easy-pleasing stuff in these episodes: lovely costumes, beautiful people, grass-court tennis and a fabulous turn from Hollywood royalty in Anjelica Huston. This all brings a welcome lightness - but, for me, still not light enough! A suicidal character from the original novel is blended with Inspector Leach in this adaptation, suffusing the lead with melancholy.

    This coming Monday, at 8pm on BBC Two, it’s the final of this year’s Only Connect. But you knew that of course. It’s in your diary. You cited it when the neighbours invited you to dinner – “Not March 3rd!” you cried. “It’s the Only Connect final!”You had no intention of watching it. But neither had you any intention of going round to that ghastly pair of scrotes at Number 32 to talk about house prices while eating what was bound to be fish.

    Was The Walden Interview any good? I don’t remember. I didn’t even remember it being called The Walden Interview, I thought it was just Walden. I ALWAYS watched it, by the way. So you’d think I’d know. But I was a child, and when I was a child there was nothing else on. Beggars couldn’t be choosers, this programme wasn’t competing with a hundred channels showing Disney cartoons or Squid Game. I was broadly left alone on Sundays, so I could put the telly on.

Just went to see Oliver! in London - what a wonderful show and Simon Lipkin is really *phenomenal*. Reminds me of the night I was meant to star as the Artful Dodger at school but couldn’t due to stage fright. Mind you, I was only 9. Mind you, SO ARE MANY OF THIS WEST END CAST. ❤️

Is it ever okay to manterrupt? In my TV column this week, I’ve been watching ‘The Baldwins’ and thinking about their marriage. https://t.co/EhNHdUqJRv

I tweeted Heresy yesterday when it wasn’t on. Then I forgot to tweet it today when it was. I’m so bad at social media. Luckily it’s a great programme. Laura Smyth, Ignacio Lopez and Sally Phillips; bet you can’t listen without laughing. https://t.co/1mVUNkZuaI
