Spotted: Claire Skinner

When: Sunday late pm
Where: on the Northern Line, going south

I like seeing famous people on the Tube. Particularly when I've been watching them on TV only recently.

Claire Skinner, the mum from Outnumbered, had been doing her acting thing only days earlier, as part of Comic Relief.

So it was nice to see her looking dead ordinary (although she is terribly skinny) in real life getting on the northern line w herman at Highgate, heading south, and reading a supplement from a weekend paper, like me.

I didn't see where they got off.

Complicit Delays Opening Night

So, there I was, worrying about how best to write a review of the Old Vic's Complicit for londonist as it was press night tonight, when I read they're putting off opening night for another nine days.

The Guardian hints it's because Dreyfuss can't remember his lines. JC then remembers he saw Richard wearing an earpiece during the preview we saw. I can't be so sure.

I hope the delay is because the writer has decided to rework the piece. As far as I was aware, the actors on stage were doing fine; it was the terrible script that needed work. We shall see.
