RIP Stephanie Cole. Here’s my Stephanie Cole story: I was at a sitcom readthrough where I was filling in for all the roles that weren’t cast yet & for any actor who couldn’t make the readthrough. Often, at these events, you’re the only person in the room who won’t ultimately be working on the show

- so a lot of the time you’re a bit of a third wheel & people don’t know what to say to you. It can be a bit awkward. During a break Stephanie Cole made an absolute beeline for me & said “I just want to say, I think you’re doing a marvellous job and I really enjoyed reading that scene with you.”

There was absolutely no need for her to do that but she took the time to speak to me, the least important person in the room. I really admired & loved her for that little kindness. 💕

What a treat this was, although the talk backstage was mostly about the disconnect between the obvious enthusiasm in the crowd versus broadcasters’ total lack of interest in commissioning and supporting scripted comedy. Have a piece of the pie, you dummies! 🤷🏼‍♂️

“I don’t need a brolly, you wally!” Scotty in the Enterprise-D Engineering with the extras walking around in astronaut space suits. Wonderfully bonkers.

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has gifted over 150 million books (yes, 150 million) around the world. This is what goodness looks like. She ALSO brought us Buffy. She ALSO funded the Covid vaccine. She ALSO wrote “Jolene”. The most remarkable person. donate.imaginationlibrary.com

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

So tonight, not only did BBC Two introduce the Red Dwarf episode "Holoship" using the same symbol used in 1992, but it also used most of the original continuity script. Your 1992 network announcer: Halyna Kozak www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jV6... Your 2026 network announcer: Nicola Phoenix

And if you're watching BBC Two Wales you'll hear the very same announcer who introduced it in 1992 😊

Red Dwarf, "Holoship" is on BBC Two tonight at 10pm. The beginning of this video has the original continuity from the episode's first broadcast back in 1992. If you watch it, you may enjoy the introduction to tonight's episode even more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jV6...
