One of the many reasons why I love Spike Milligan: this response of his to hearing a letter from King Charles (then The Prince of Wales) being read aloud to him at the 1994 British Comedy Awards ceremony.

Sir Laurence Olivier reciting Sonnet 116 by William Shakespeare is very much an understated masterclass in performance poetry. (Absolute goosebumps.)

The secret formula for happiness from the film 'About Time'. (To quote Goethe: "I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather.")

Richard Harris was such an engaging character. A stupendous personality. And the opening 5 minutes of his interview on Parkinson totally proves it.

Really hope I get to see these two horses again this year across the water in yonder field. They usually appear around this time, but still no sign. 12 months ago was magical. Beyond magical, in fact. I could have died happy in that moment. Perhaps they only appear when needed.
