A Spell of Rain
The Aussie guy I met in Tokyo popped up in London again yesterday and asked me to meet up in Leicester Square with him and some friends at 6pm. I vaguely remembered Leicester Square was a bad idea, so jumped out at Tottenham Court Road and walked down the road towards the square. I was almost there when I heard screaming. Lots and lots of screaming.
That's Cracker Robbie Coltrane, aka Hagrid, being interviewed on the big screen at the soggy premiere of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. A group of teenagers next to me were squeeing over a slightly damp notebook with autographs. It wasn't possible to get any closer and anyway the others had texted to say they'd found refuge in a pub back up Charing Cross Road.
Just as I'd left the square, a well-known actor came hurrying down the road past me, presumably on his way to the premiere. Annoyingly, I couldn't remember his name. He'd been on Inspector Morse once but I wasn't about to wade through 12 series on IMDB to find him. Fortunately, Wingnut came back from the Netherlands an hour ago and helped pin it down, it was Simon Callow, who was Gareth from Four Weddings and a Funeral, Dickens in Dr Who, and the band manager in Lewis. I shall sleep well tonight.
