RIP Angela Pleasence (17.9.1941 - 6.4.2026)

"I personally don't watch horror films or any of these psychological dramas because I suffer acutely from nightmares, and have since I was a baby, so it's just not worth it. [Making them is] completely different because you know the end."

‘Steve,’ said Temple suddenly, the thought of food in the immediate future possibly giving him the idea.

‘Yes?’ she said, with a curious smile.

‘I was wondering if, er, you . . .’ He broke off. For perhaps the first time Paul Temple knew what it meant when he used the word ‘bashful’ in one of his novels.

‘Well?’ prompted Steve.

‘If you’d—er—care to have dinner with me on … on Thursday?’ he said.

‘Thursday? Yes, of course,’ she said happily. ‘I’d love to.’

'Good. I shall be in town, so perhaps we can . . . er . . . lunch together, too?’

‘Yes,’ she smiled. ‘Why not?’

‘We might even manage to have tea together, as a sort of, er—

‘I’d love to,’ she replied softly.

‘Oh, er, splendid,’ he said. ‘Well, that’s about all. Of course, there is breakfast, but—’

‘I always have breakfast in bed.’

‘In bed?’

‘Yes, in bed.’

‘Well, that’s a bit awkward!’

‘Of course,’ put in Steve a trifle glibly, ‘we could get married.’

‘Yes, I suppose we—’ Temple suddenly gasped. ‘I say... are you proposing?’

‘What do you think, Mr. Temple?’ she asked brightly, in a voice that was a perfect imitation of his. ‘What do you think?’

#Paul Temple #Send for Paul Temple #are these mysteries great crime fiction? LOL no #Does their repetitiveness and familiarity draw me in? absolutely #Is Paul and Steve's relationship absolutely delightful and basically the one thing that makes it worth it? also yes #we don't get good married couples playing as teams without cheating or jealousies because Durbridge just did it all and did it first :P #also you know Steve sometimes is the damsel in distress sometimes she needs no man #She gets kidnapped as much as she foils plans of kidnapping her #she contains multitudes #perfectly balanced as all things should be etc etc

RIP Sylvia Syms (6.1.1934 - 27.1.2023)

"I wouldn't mind having a part where I could be as I am – sharp, intelligent, wicked. I'd actually like a really evil part. Wouldn't it be wonderful to play a really evil woman. Calculatedly evil."

"When you are old you look around and say I wish I'd done that, but the answer is you didn't because you didn't really want to."
