1. Did you unexpectedly meet anyone famous this week? Yes.
2. Go on then, who? On Monday I walked past Servalan outside the Windmill Theatre in Soho. And I thought no, pull yourself together man, that wasn't really Servalan. That was Jacqueline Pearce the talented actress best known for her role as the evil intergalactic dominatrix Servalan in the late 70s BBC sci-fi series Blake's 7. And then I thought, no, stuff it, that wasServalan. She still has the same cropped haircut she had 25 years ago only with a quiff at the front, and she still swishes along in a confident all-powerful way, but she's smaller in real life than I expected, and blimey isn't she looking good for 60, and she smiles a lot, and why is she carrying that large bunch of flowers? And then I thought, wowServalan. And then I carried on shopping.
2. Anyone else? Yes. On Tuesday I walked past oh-what's-her-name I-recognise-her-from-somewhere in Shepherd Market off Piccadilly. Odd how you know you know someone even though you're not quite sure you know who she is. But I checked later (hurrah for the internet) and it was Hester from Fresh Fields. You know, the talented actress Julia McKenzie who played cheery unassuming Hester Fields in the cosy mid 80s ITV sitcom Fresh Fields. Only by the time I realised who she was she was long gone.
4. Anyone else? No.
5. Sorry, I appear to have run out of questions. I noticed. That must be because the Friday Five website finally shut down last week after 2½ years providing us with inspirational bloggable questions every week. Suddenly no more. How will we find something original to write about on Fridays now? (but wow, Servalan, really)
