I find every part of this programme intriguing! Objective study has its place but it’s wonderful when we catch a glimpse of the “real” person behind the bones/history/story/name etc. The facial reconstruction expert, Caroline, has been on TV for many years. Her work astonishes and amazes me. This kind of thing is not everybody’s cup […]

I’ve just been reminded by s-i-l that when we stayed at the Savoy Hotel together, we walked from the Strand to somewhere (Covent Garden?) via a back street and just happened to meet Mr John Inman. We both smiled and said, “Hello, Mr Inman.” He was so sweet and friendly and humble. The video below […]
