I thought this (and the MacBook inside!) lost forever. Thank you honest stranger and Julian at Waterloo Lost Property.

- Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions and sympathy regarding my lost property on the train yesterday. Many were strangers offering genuine good advice, or just offering a kind word because, well, kindness needed sometimes innit? Well… It has been handed in. Happy ending.
- Must be amazing being a woman. You can "dominate" a list that you actually make up less than half of. Extraordinary.
- “You’re crying, you’re crying now” sings Gerry Rafferty on @BBCRadio2. Yes I am, because Sara Cox is doing a stunning job conveying the loss of Steve Wright whilst holding the show together. Beautiful broadcasting @sarajcox : Steve’s been on my radio my whole listening life. RIP
- RIP that gloriously eccentric character player Damaris Hayman, not far off her 92nd birthday - she helped Doctor Who battle The Daemons, walked the halls of St Trinian's, saw the Pink Panther Strike Again and was the essence of genteel English wit opposite many great comics.
- Brilliant actor, never gave a bad performance. And what a CV.We are sad to announce the passing of our client, the actor John Woodvine, who died peacefully at home at the age of 96 this morning. A wonderful and well loved actor, who will be much missed. He is survived by his actress wife Lynn Farleigh & his children Mary and Emma.
- Many of us owe our love of Doctor Who to Terrance Dicks: his books made the stories come to life & expanded our vocabulary as they did so. Writer, script editor & one of its greatest ambassadors, he enunciated the show brilliantly. A kind man. #TerranceDicks WAS Doctor Who. RIP.
- With a heavy heart and the family’s permission I am sad to announce the death this morning of that warm, naturalistic and popular actor Bernard Holley - PC Newcombe in Z-Cars, Mike Turnbull in The Gentle Touch, Axos in Doctor Who and Jackanory reader. A friend, I shall miss him.
- Sad to hear that Chris Boucher, the last surviving writer of 1970s Doctor Who, has died. He had a gift for sharp, witty dialogue and sardonic characters, as evidenced further by his work on Blake's 7. He also did good work on Juliet Bravo, Shoestring & Bergerac. TV legend - RIP.
- Today I am five years sober. I won't bang on about it here, but for those for whom this information might be helpful I have written a blog post. tobyhadoke.com/five-years-sob…
00:00 - David Warner has died. Absolutely my favourite actor as a young, aspiring actor: his ability to convey glassy fragility or cold amorality without doing anything facially was a true acting gift. I'm so proud that I later had the pleasure of working with & knowing him. RIP sir.
- Dear @michaelhogan/@Telegraph, when you don’t see the casting of a critically acclaimed RSC/NT actress who happens to be disabled (disability is massively under-represented on TV: statistical fact) as “box ticking” instead of “progress” then you may stop being part of the problem
- RIP Geoffrey Palmer: an exemplar of a certain kind of deadpan, lugubrious humour, he made disappointment & pessimism somehow loveable & stoic. He had a fantastic, droll delivery & brilliant face: like a phlegmatic bulldog. Undeniably great at comedy but a fine straight actor too.
- Yo be the voice of one TV icon would be impressive, but the Daleks, Parker off of Thunderbirds AND Grandpa Pig from Peppa Pig.. David Graham was a maestro. He was also a lovely, unassuming fellow and a top notch character actor. RIP to a proper TV legend: at 99!!! #davidgraham
