Sandy, the guy was ridiculously nice, as was his wife, Anita Dobson. Back in the 90's, the Daily Star hosted awards ceremonies to celebrate the achievements of the general public and Andrew and I used to get invited along. After the main do, at the likes of the the London Savoy, there would be a private room set aside for the celebrities to enjoy further free drinks. For some reason, Andrew and I were allowed to join them. Anyway, on one occasion, we ended up next to Brian and Anita and had a great time. On learning that Andrew's daughter was studying at RADA and wanted to be an actress, Anita disappeared for ten minutes before returning with a lengthy, hand-written letter of encouragement for her. Obviously, she had absolutely no need to to do this. What a classy touch. Brian kept in contact with us for years, exchanging the latest Queen albums for the latest Beau Peep books. I treasure a letter from him which said he was "glad to see you're as off-the-wall as ever".  A huge talent and, even better, a hugely nice guy.

Fantastic affirmation of two of the nicest celebrities there are.  It's rare that people have this effect on others - and I think it's a fantastic anecdote to have shared with your fans.

What? He's told them too? Both of them?
I apologise, in advance.

I thought the idea of a holiday was to come back refreshed, batteries recharged, a little
less tense and somewhat carefree, Muncey.

I am recharged. That's why I'm helping Tarks to annoy Roger. :)

Pfft! I've been managing to annoy Roger for nigh on 40 years without your help, Mincey, thanks all the same.  :\
I apologise, in advance.
