Last week Jonathan Harvey and I were asked to write a sketch for Sports Relief for the cast of Footballers Wives. Jonathan wrote a version of it, then I wrote a version then all the best bits from each were put into one final draft. During all this the news broke that the series Footballer's Wives was not being re-commissioned; so this meant our mini episode was to be the last ever outing for the series. It's about four (or five, can't remember) scenes long and has a well known celebrity playing the new superstar striker for Earls Park (the football team in FW). Naturally I can't tell you who the guest star is but I can give you a clue; his name begins with "Graham" and ends with "Norton". They are filming it next week, unfortunately I can't go because of other work commitments which is a shame because Ben Richards is in it who I used to share a student house with in Epsom (see biog page).
Went to an Indian restaurant tonight in Mayfair, "Tamarind", very posh and lovely; I can thoroughly recommend it. It's the only Indian restaurant that has won a Michelin star apparently; my hilarious joke of adopting a Brummie accent and ordering "just prawn cocktail and steak and chips for me please" left the waiter rather non-plussed. Sometimes I forget just how annoying I can be.
