Caption : It’s a very special day, Anyone who has lived as long as I have is alive because they have had previous vaccinations, the take up amongst the older generation will be 100% – it ought to be – because you’re having it not just for yourself but for people who you are close to – you’re doing your bit for society. Of course, it’s painless… it’s convenient, and getting in touch and meeting NHS staff and saying thank you to them for how hard they’ve been working is a bonus, I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone. I feel very lucky to have had the vaccine. https://www.itv.com/news/2020-12-16/covid-sir-ian-mckellen-praises-nhs-after-first-dose-of-pfizer-vaccine

Caption : In my first ever job, at the Belgrade Theatre Coventry, the company did a different play every fortnight. One of these was Agatha Christie’s “Black Coffee” in which I played the rather sinister, ancient butler, Tredwell. This involved powdering my youthful hair white and painting a few wrinkles on my face with a doddery gait, taking care not to spoil the poisoned coffee which kills my employer. 60 years on I’m rather repeating myself, this time in a much superior, funnier play. I hope, with a shaven head and false whiskers, I’m a more convincingly old fellow. For tickets: https://theatreroyalwindsor.co.uk/thecherryorchard/
