I met the Queen once, and managed to resist a strong impulse to say ‘I’ve seen you on the stamps’
I feel sad, especially when I think how lonely it must have been for her without Philip
Still, as she herself once said “Who wants to live forever?’
We were blessed to have her

Some of my greatest successes were initially met with rejection, but I got by with a little help from my friends. Hear more in this clip with @camillacleese from our interview with Sadhna Bokhiria, CEO of KIRIA Research.

My favourite Fawlty Towers moment, in honor of the show’s 47th Anniversary this week. At the end of the Duck episode, Basil finally presents the covered dish to the diners, lifts the lid off, realises it’s not the duck, puts the lid on immediately….then takes it off again and searches in the mousse, in case the duck is somewhere inside.
I can’t remember whether this was in the original script, or whether we invented it on the night, but I love Basil’s refusal to give up even when things are not looking promising.

So sad to hear Leslie Phillips passed yesterday. He was a brilliant comedian and a joy to work with.
Reading a bedtime story on @stella.sleep app. Look it up on the app store to hear the Mystery of the Lost Sleep! 😴

Remembering the late Brian Hall. I was so fond of Brian…
He also drove one of London’s famous black cabs
When he asked me how he should play the chef, I told him “He’s on the run from the police”
He said he didn’t need anything else.
