I had to go to the hospital today for some eye treatment. All of the people who looked after me were amazing. I hadn’t been looking forward to it but they made it as painless as possible. I had to pay a couple of pounds for parking and that was it. God, the NHS is marvellous.

For years I’ve harboured a desire to spend a few hours with the great Tony Banks, mainly to ask him how to play various bits of songs for which full scores are not available. I’ve realised this is unlikely to happen now and I’ll probably never know.

Insomnia plus hay fever is not a brilliant combination to be honest.

I think Lucy Boynton is probably the best actress of her generation. Her Ruth Ellis portrayal was amazing.
