Congratulations to Sir Roy Clarke

[PKDurham]

Although I personally think that knighthoods and honours are ridiculously outdated nonsense, if they’re handing them out to anyone, then it’s nice to see someone like Roy get honoured.

As a prolific writer who brought so much joy to people the award to Roy Clarke is a wonderful testament to the sheer entertainment he has purveyed . Richly deserved huge congratulations to Roy.

Surprised this hadn't happened decades ago but glad to finally hear the news.
I like what Warwick Davis said of his OBE: "This is the best thing that's ever happened to me - and I've been in Star Wars."
