Spotted in Putney. One for @JohnRentoul, if you still do these
Thanks @RobDotHutton and @DuncanWeldon for another engaging episode. Tangentially...
NEW EPISODE: This week, @DuncanWeldon dresses up as @RobDotHutton in an effort to make the Nazis believe the podcast will be coming from the Mediterranean. That's right, we're watching I Was Monty's Double!

Caught this darkly funny and oddly moving show last night and it's been with me ever since... a properly Shakespearean mix of haunted lyricism, diamond-sharp repartee, and virtuoso clowning. See it if can.

Huge congratulations Dr Armstrong - and it's been a privilege to support and learn from your brilliant, ground-breaking work on BSL and Musical Theatre, Doctor Woo-hoo!
Many thanks to my examiners @Marionwynned and @G_Burrows for an enjoyable (and successful!) viva today. And of course to my wonderful supervisors @Profrob83 and @Julian_Woolford ❤️ Minor corrections ahead, but for now feel free to refer to me as ‘The Doctor’ 🤪🥰
