What's your name? Jasper Carrott Ah, a comedian Yes, how did you know?!

We've been watching the TV series Kingdom on DVD and there's an episode with Peter Sallis, and another Summer Winer June Whitfield. It was good to see him in a different role and it's a shame he didn't get more TV work.

My wife watches a lot of TV dramas and I've noticed that some actors have a breathy style of talking as though they're slightly out of breath. Can't work out if this is deliberate or just poor acting. Mrs WM is currently watching The Tower that she recorded and an actor on it who is lauded in...

In some of the PitS series they used a blue office building in Bracknell as the exterior of the police station. I worked there at the time and remember seeing them setting up to film when I arrived at the car park in the morning.

A bit of trivia about this show is that Derren Litten who plays a policeman in later series was the creator and main writer of Benidorm.

Drama channel are showing Pie in the Sky. It's nominally a crime drama but is easy watching as the detective is also involved in a restaurant.

There's also the question of whether we have enough power generation to cope with the increased electric demand.

I won't miss Holby City because Mrs WM used to watch it and that kind of thing bores me senseless. But bringing back Waterloo Road is no improvement! It may be because they're trying to hold onto a younger audience. On the whole there's a lack of creativity in TV these days, perhaps because with...

It could be a medical condition but she seems okay drinking from a cup. I've sometimes seen other actors shake a bit and it made me think that for some reason they may get nervous in certain scenes.

On the Wormley Witches episode tonight Nora had to try and get something out of Alvin's eye with a hanky and her hands were shaking really badly. I always imagined actors to be confident but it seems that even they get nervous with some things.

Bicycle clips and brown trousers are recommended

I'd rather be very low down than stood at the top of that skyscraper, my legs would turn to jelly!

I thought this Dubai advert used CGI but it was done for real: Amazing!

The best trick with matches is to wrap a bit of tin foil over the head and then light the stalk. When the flame makes it to the head there's a mini explosion. It's even more fun if you do it with a batch of matches.

I have some of those. They are dated but include some good story ideas.
