So very sorry to hear that we have lost the wonderful Brian Robinson, BFI Press Officer for so many years and the life and soul of any event he attended. Kind, clever, irreplaceable.
Superb introduction to Rome Express at BFI last night thanks to season Curator Kazuo Ishiguro and the great Jonathan Coe. Never seen the film, blown away by its thoroughly realised ambition (better use of models than even Hitchcock) and superb direction frome ex-silent clown Walter Forde. A joy.
Exciting stuff to come on the All About the Music podcast - Anneka loves it already!! www.allaboutthemusicpod.com

My clever friend Lynda Waterhouse is part of a team producing films for Southwark starring residents of Elephant and Castle talking about their childhoods and formative years in the borough. This is the latest.
Extraordinary lingual acrobat, game player with a serious, ethical heart, a populist dramatist who could create rollercoaster character development alongside an elitist spokesman of timeless philosophical insight. The most influential writer in my life. RIP Tom.
My next guest on All About the Music, superb comedian, writer and improvisor Stephen Frost! He's got a cracking set of bands to talk about, is funny, truthful, clever and full of surprises, opening up about comedy and improv alongside his love of the bands that have soundtracked his life.
