I hardly need remind you that today is the feast of St Joseph of Arimathea - also known as Joseph of Glastonbury, the first ever saint of Britain. So, don't forget to wear those giant inflatable thorns and speak like a pirate - after all, everyone's from Somerset on St Joe's Day! Have a good time - but do go easy on the cider.

Oh yes - Robert Newton's the name I was looking for.

He played Long John Silver in Disney's Treasure Island (1950), which I suppose a whole generation grew up on. I prefer to remember him as someone like Bill Walker in Major Barbara (1941)—I just rewatched it last night (finally on DVD from Criterion, not scratchy library VHS) and he's terrific. I wish William Wyler had been able to get him for Wuthering Heights (1939).
