Why exactly would a Thailand-based economic migrant secretly give Nigel Farage £5 million as a 'reward' for delivering Brexit? I won't get to ask either of them this question but every single journalist & broadcaster granted access could...

And now, the same day we heard of losing Robert Duvall, there goes Frederick Wiseman too. RIP

Very sorry to hear we have lost Robert Duvall, a very great actor (my faves inevitably include The Chase, The Rain People, The Godfathers, The Outfit, True Confessions, Tender Mercies) and occasional director. Greatly enjoyed interviewing him for The Apostle. RIP.

RIP Diane Keaton. A fine comedienne (most notably in her films with Woody Allen), but also good in drama (as we know from The Godfather). But she also directed well – the documentary Heaven should not be forgotten.

Terrific opening night for 2025-26 season @wigmore-hall.org.uk, with magnificent Matthias Goerne accompanied by David Fray in Schubert's extraordinary Schwanengesang; the pianist then provided a riveting account of the composer's final piano sonata. Sheer magic.
