When I see some particularly Fine Acting on the television set, and usually the actor is British, I am sometimes moved to exclaim at the screen: "Theeeeeeesp!"

In this spirit, and rather aptly, I now exclaim "Sentennnnnnnnnnnce!":

"One of my dreams has long been to see Branagh play Noddy Holder on film"

Bet Joe Queenan kept on chuckling for a goodly while about the Ken-in-Slade- biopic section of his Branagh-takedown as he went about his daily business ... possibly for days. I know what writers are like.

Still it did serve to remind me of something

As with the Quo

I always forget about Slade















I would really like to see the whole of Slade In Flame
