Classic 80s: Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Discovered in a graveyard 1692.
Classic Brit TV series 'The Professionals'. Series 5. Ep. 5 - 'Discovered in a Graveyard' 1982 Originally Episode 9. Filmed 1980.
Note: The poem quoted is actually 'Desiderata' a famous 1927 work by American writer Max Ehrmann. It was later published on a Baltimore church leaflet with the founding date of that church - 1692 and that is how the legend started that it was discovered in their churchyard! (FTP)

It makes me feel so happy!
From the ITV documentary The Unforgettable ... Gordon Jackson (2012), including previously unpublished photographs of Kenneth Williams. Gordon and his wife Rona were Kenneth’s close friends for more than 30 years.
Kenneth liked to be what he called "ordinary", to spend time with "normal families". He loved to be with the Jacksons and their children, because he felt secure, probably more than anywhere else.
Friday, 31 December 1971
Got a taxi to Gordon & Rona. The house was looking beautiful, with a huge Christmas tree dominating the drawing room, and I suddenly felt so safe there. These are the friends to be really cherished because even the times when we have had disagreements are all informed by a profesional awareness of what we are as actors - I suppose that is why the only really good permanent relationships that work for me are the ones with fellow artists. Gordon played Valse Ultime and Rona & he sang it in French & as usual it enchanted me. When I drank a champagne toast with them to 1972 as Big Ben struck, I just adored them both. They've given me a wonderful present - the Oxford Companion to Eng. Lit.!!
... clearly visible secureness, balance and happiness 💖
