Construction on a new Navy ship has started in San Diego named after slain gay rights leader Harvey Milk. Milk was the first openly gay man elected in the state of California.

Breaking a world record while running in a panda costume. Raising over £1,000 for charity. Even getting a tweet of congratulations from Paula Radcliffe. Truly, days don’t get much better than this. My London marathon morning started surreally as I sat in a tent near Greenwich, lending duct tape to a post box, safety pins to a doctor in scrubs and discussing handcuffing strategies with a husband and wife. This was not an average race start. All the aspirational Guinness World Record chasers start together, so at 9am I also found myself posing for photos next to a rhino, a tent and a man in ski boots. I was, in truth, extremely nervous. I spent the day before tweaking my costume to stop the panda head from wobbling and reducing my field of vision from narrow to non-existent. Nothing seemed to work, with the result that I ran the entire race with a roll of duct tape round my paw in case of emergencies. But within minutes of the start, it was clear this was going to be an … [Read more...] about What’s black and white and a record holder? I was a London Marathon panda

Glenda Jackson I worked with Ken on six films. Women in Love was the first time I'd worked with a director of that genius, and on a film of that size. What I remember most was the creative and productive atmosphere on set: he was open to ideas from everyone, from the clapperboard operator upwards. Like any great director, he knew what he didn't want – but was open to everything else. As a director he never said anything very specific. He'd say, "It needs to be a bit more … urrrgh, or a bit less hmmm", and you knew exactly what he meant. I used to ask him why he never said "Cut", and he said, "Because it means you always do something different." They gave me an Oscar [for her performance as Gudrun Brangwen], but I couldn't collect it as I was working. I haven't seen the film since the initial screening for cast and crew. Working with Ken was one of the great joys of my life. My whole memory of him is infused with laughter. His imagination grew and developed over the … [Read more...] about Ken Russell: Sex, nuns and rock’n’roll
