To see a sparky Felicity Kendal in a new Theatre Royal Bath production of Shaw's once controversial comedy about prostitution, Mrs Warren's Profession , last night. The play which tells the story of an independent-minded 1890s Cambridge-educated young woman's discovery of how her largely estranged mother earns her living and has paid for her genteel upbringing, is remarkable not only for its subject...

Well, it's been a busy few days. The weekend was most uncomfortable, as I wasn't able to sit down because my back was so painful, so I either had to stand or lay down. By Monday it was improving, and by yesterday, when I went to the chiropractor, it had improved further. It seems that I strained a ligament in my lower back, so the only real cure is time. But the chiropractor did some work on my back...

When Mel fancies a swim it transpires the TARDIS swimming pool has been jettisoned. That in itself is a huge shame but it leads The Doctor to take her to Paradise Towers. We don't arrive in a luxury apartment building, but in a world in turmoil with gangs roaming the corridors, fascist (comedy) caretakers, vicious old ladies and murderous cleaning machines. The War Machine springs to life. . A poignant...

This week Bernard Darnton wonders what could be worse than working class alienation and discovers the answer. Felicity Kendal has a lot to answer for. Her starring thinking-man’s-crumpet role in The Good Life is probably responsible for the perennial popularity of self-sufficiency. The latest incarnation of this fad (that I’ve noticed) has been a thing called Beachcomber Cottage , in which...

I have ceased to be surprised to see that every day at least two people come to my blog having searched for "Felicity Kendal nipple" or similar since that Good Life scene is quite well known and she is still thought of as a bit of a babe by men of a certain age. However I was a little surprised to see that someone came to my site having googled "felicity kendal porn". First because...

This dress was the first piece I designed for the collection. I love the fact that it shows your décolleté; it’s very womanly and sexy. I think it should be worn with a thick pair of fisherman’s socks, a sturdy pair of strappy sandals and a Burberry trench. Then it can be daywear, or it can be cocktail or eveningwear. When you’re showing lots of décolleté,...

Well here's a post about everything and nothing... I've just got home from St. James' Park after watching Exeter C ity draw with local rivals Yeovil Town. City were great, apart from only playing for 45 minutes. Talk about Jekyll and Hyde. Two halves, two teams. Yeovil deserved at least a point, if not all three and scored a stunning goal to equalise. The thing for me about football is the people,...
