Play for Today: Buffet (BBC, 1976)
"Freddie likes squalid plays."
"I don't think I care for the theatre. If the theatre came to me, then that would be different. One has to go to it."
"I like a play to be about nice people. I like a comedy. I like to be taken out of myself. The plays Freddie likes to see are about squalid people. I like a play to reflect my own problems, I like a play to be about people like ourselves."

Britton's crisis is much more existential than#the one Ed Woodward was suffering; he's in constant fear of 'cracking up'‚ as is nearly everyone he meets and speaks to. these passing#conversations‚ mostly in railway buffets‚ are the meat of the play and they gradually become stranger and more detached from reality as the#play goes on (and Britton inches towards his crack up). they reach a Pinteresque height of dark absurdism in a scene in which he is#pressed for money by an airline steward who insists the price of landing has been raised while Britton was midflight. it honestly won't be#to everyone's taste but i found myself truly gripped by this in the second half‚ an inventive and very funny black comedy of ageing despair

NANNY MCPHEE 2005
There is something you should understand about the way I work. When you need me but do not want me, then I must stay. When you want me but no longer need me, then I have to go. It's rather sad, really, but there it is.

Much Ado About Everything
Much Ado About Nothing (1993) by Kenneth Branagh This is where it all began for me: this movie made me love Shakespeare – and Branagh as a director. While there’s a lot of water under that latter bridge, my love for Shakespeare remains. And I think that Branagh did the same thing for many people with this masterpiece and one of my all-time favorite movies. What’s it about? Don Pedro of Arragon…

She is an absolute delight in the early Midsomer ep Blood Will Out and so beautiful.
Happy Birthday veteran Scottish actress Phyllida Law, born on May 8th 1932 in Glasgow.
There is very little about her early life except she was born in Glasgow, the daughter of Megsie “Meg” and William Law, a journalist. She said once of he Glasgow upbringing “When you grow up in Glasgow with a Glaswegian granny, you’re taught that pride is a wicked thing. I still feel a bit like that.“ Phyllida grew up in Glasgow’s west end, just off Great Western Road, but war broke out when she was just seven and she found herself evacuated to places such as Lenzie, in Dunbartonshire, and Skelmorlie, Ayrshire.
That gave her a love for the Scots countryside which means she now splits her life between her home in London and a family cottage in Argyll. Phyllida would fit in well with the Scottish & Proud ethos, in an interview she says:
“I’m passionate about my Scots heritage. How could I not be? I can’t live without it. There’s no way I could live without those hills and it’s got to be the west coast. “I sometimes travel to Edinburgh then go up to Pittenweem or somewhere and I think to myself, ‘This isn’t Scotland.’ It’s a wonderful coastline but it’s not Scotland for me.
“When my parents lived in Glasgow they were always looking for a cottage to which they could retire. They found one in Ardentinney, so I visit that a lot.
She joined the Bristol Old Vic in 1952, from what I can gather she was first in the wardrobe department, the first pic shows her standing, from a 1952 photo. Heron screen acting credits start in 1958 and are very extensive, the pick of them are Dixon of Dock Green and a stint as the storyteller in the great children’s show Jackanory in the 60’s. It must have been during her time in the BBC’s children’s TV department she met her husband to be The Magic Roundabout narrator Eric Thompson, She has previously stated that the character of Ermintrude the cow was modelled on her.
Angels in the 70’s and of course Taggart in the 80’s as well Thomson, the variety series hosted by actress Emma Thompson in 1988, Emma just happens to be her daughter. Heartbeat, Hamish Macbeth and Dangerfield in the 90’s, Waking the dead and Doctors in the noughties has kept her busy, now in her 86th year she has still been appearing on the small screen, in The Other Wife and New Tricks during the past 8 years. Film roles include She is known for her work on Much Ado About Nothing , The Time Machine and The Winter Guest.
Phyllida spends most of her time in Argyll in a house she shares with her daughter Emma. who is spending more time looking after her mother, as she was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2915.
Phyllida constantly needs the support of a wheelchair and even assistance when washing due to the effect the condition is having on her.
Due to the progressive nature of the condition, symptoms tend to gradually worsen over time. It is common for individuals to struggle both with walking and talking at the height of the condition.
Phyllida herself spoke about the burdens of looking after an infirm parent, she looked after her mother, Meg who suffered with Alzheimer’s disease. Mego died in 1994 aged 93 after almost 20 years of being cared for by Ms Law at her mother's home in the village of Ardentinny on the west coast, near Dunoon.

i realised that on my last reblog i forgot some things! also i was forced to omit a few things bc i ran out of tag space oops ("nobody cares, lamorna" - shut up i need to document this correctly)
so let's explain:
saw belinda lang in present laughter (also saw serena evans in that!! and david from cold feet robert bathurst, but he's less important to me); the reluctant debutante (also saw jane asher in it!!); and single spies
old times: met kristin scott thomas, saw lia williams + rufus sewell
the audience: met helen mirren + haydn gwynne (this was also the day when i chased jenny agutter accidentally, and i saw anne reid + stephen tompkinson going through the stage door)
passion play: met sam bond, zoe wanamaker, and lyndsey marshal (she wasn't in the play, she was just there with zoe), saw owen teale
the weir: saw dervla kirwan, met ardal o'hanlon + brian cox
private lives: met anna chancellor
the importance of being earnest: met cherie lunghi + nigel havers
relatively speaking (i went to an ayckbourn play for felicity. this is true love and dedication) met felicity kendal
the national theatre masterclasses: went to penelope wilton + david hare's one, saw them (saw penelope out front beforehand!!), met penelope afterwards
also went to amelia bullmore's masterclass, along w lots of my lovely mutuals 💖; we all met her and talked to her at length
kiss me, kate: saw hannah waddingham
guys and dolls: saw sophie thompson, and phyllida law (her + emma's mother) was in the audience
a damsel in distress: saw summer strallen
mrs. pat: saw penelope keith
oklahoma!: saw josie lawrence (also saw her + paul merton at the comedy store one time)
me and my girl: saw caroline quentin, also matt lucas
fleetwood mac: i've seen them live twice, once with chris mcvie
once there was an event that a choir my mum + i used to be in were invited to sing at, and a lot of the other performers / organisers were famous people: julie graham was one of the organisers, so i saw her, alison moyet was performing (i'd already been to one of her concerts, but not met her yet), so i met her then (she hugged me!!!!) and emma kennedy was there bc she and alf are best friends so i stood near her awkwardly; and caitlin moran was also a speaker so i saw her (backstage and onstage) too; and my mum spoke to her
my mum once won tickets to see a bbc show being filmed, and it happened to be upstart crow (you don't choose what you see, you just get allocated something by the bbc people), so we were on set with david mitchell, liza tarbuck, gemma whelan
i've told the story of being caught in the fire w the new tricks actors + sarah beeny SO many times, but i will tell it again if anyone else wants to hear it
comedians/-ennes i've seen live: ed byrne (twice), alan davies, omid djalili, rich hall (i wasn't that keen on seeing omid or rich but my mum made us all go with her and they were better than i'd expected them to be), zoe lyons, tim vine
and finally: i live in the same town as dave benson phillips (of get your own back, british blue's clues, various other children's television), and he used to be (might still be, for all i know) the next door neighbour of a family friend, so i met him at a party at their house once as a child
#the amount of these stories that involve my mum is embarrassing#she was even the reason i ended up accidentally chasing jenny#my mum is my best friend i guess#personal#about me

Play for Today: Evelyn (BBC, 1971)
"Do you ever get the feeling you're cracking up?"
"Do you?"
"Well, I - I was asking you."
"It's your birthday."
"Oh, I don't have birthdays anymore, I stopped having birthdays a long time ago."
"You're forty."
"That was a very cruel thing to say."
#play for today#evelyn#single play#bbc#1972#rhys adrian#piers haggard#edward woodward#angela scoular#phyllida law#edward de souza#charles bolton#graeme macdonald#Adrian originally wrote Evelyn as a radio play‚ first broadcast on BBC radio 4 in 1969; it was a success‚ winning prizes and#considerable critical acclaim. it is also‚ tho‚ very much a radio play: consisting almost entirely of bedroom conversations between just#two characters‚ as well as phone calls. a challenging thing to adapt for television‚ and this PfT version does seem to have come in for#some criticism bc of its reliance on mannered‚ stylized dialogue (as well as fairly frequent nudity‚ a non issue on radio of course but#fairly unusual on british tv in 1971). it is mannered‚ it is very much not 'natural' in performance and feels very stagey in that specific#mid century way‚ but i dont think it's an unsuccessful bit of tv. Eddy boy is an anonymous business type obsessed with his age and gripped#by midlife crisis; he's having an affair with the younger‚ seemingly more free spirited Scoular‚ herself married. their artificial bliss#(much repetition of 'i do love you' and how 'wonderful' the sex is) is undermined by the fact that she still loves her husband‚ and also#loves several other young men she has also taken as lovers. Woodward's quiet gnawing paranoia and haunted feelings of inadequacy are#beautifully played‚ as is the gradual revelation of Scoular's rather shallow nature (she repeats the same lines and declarations of love#verbatim to other men on the phone)‚ as is Woodward's difficulty in reconciling his hypocrisy; he invents a fictional girlfriend‚ Evelyn‚#to try and make Scoular jealous and presumably more possessive of him. it's a rather bleak little thing‚ although frequently quite witty#and the performances are all quite excellent. it also feels very 1970s in its foregrounding of Woodward's insecurity over‚ for example‚ the#feelings of (or effect on) his wife (a sharply written P Law who makes just two brief appearances at the very beginning and end)#it won't be to many modern viewers tastes i suppose‚ but this does have.. something. and at the very least Eddy gets to do his mildly#neurotic thing without it having the underlying sense of brittle violence (just mildly pathetic middle aged angst)#PfT would move away from this style of drama as the series developed‚ favouring social realism over theatrical artifice

Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 To You
1 Of The Most Distinguished & Legendary English Actress 🇬🇧👱♀️👵 Of Both Drama, Comedy & Kids / Family Movies 🎥 Of All Times
Thompson was born in London on 15 April 1959. Her mother is Scottish actress Phyllida Law, while her English father, Eric Thompson, was an actor best known as the writer–narrator of the popular children's television series The Magic Roundabout.
Born to actors Eric Thompson and Phyllida Law, Thompson was educated at Newnham College, Cambridge, where she became a member of the Footlights troupe, and appeared in the comedy sketch series Alfresco (1983–1984). In 1985, she starred in the West End revival of the musical Me and My Girl, which was a breakthrough in her career. In 1987, she came to prominence for her performances in two BBC series, Tutti Frutti and Fortunes of War, winning the BAFTA TV Award for Best Actress for her work on both series. In the early 1990s, she often collaborated with then-husband, actor and director Kenneth Branagh, in films such as Henry V (1989), Dead Again (1991), and Much Ado About Nothing (1993).
For her performance in the Merchant-Ivory period drama Howards End (1992), Thompson won the BAFTA Award and the Academy Award for Best Actress. In 1993, she received two Academy Award nominations—Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress—for the respective roles of the housekeeper of a grand household in The Remains of the Day and a lawyer in In the Name of the Father, becoming one of the few actors to achieve this feat. Thompson wrote and starred in Sense and Sensibility (1995), for which she won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay—making her the only person in history to win Oscars for both acting and writing—and once again won the BAFTA.
Further critical acclaim came for her roles in Primary Colors (1998), Love Actually (2003), Saving Mr. Banks (2013), Late Night (2019), and Good Luck to You, Leo Grande (2022).
