BEAUTIFUL ACTORS: Here be another mini-masterclass for this self-isolating Monday. It’s a whopper of a scene from Robert Benton's Kramer vs. Kramer (1979). Dustin Hoffman told the cameraman about his plans for his wine glass ... but not Meryl Streep.

A standing ovation to Lady @meAmandaMealing - one of the finest actors to so gracefully stride through the wards of Holby City Hospital. I am so proud to have cast Connie’s first ⁦ @BBCCasualty ⁩ episode and her daughter (⁦ @TheEmilyCarey ⁩) ... x

Thank You, @BBCOne - Stephen S. Thompson (writer), Stella Corradi (Director) and the cast and crew (led by Patrick Robinson & Nadine Marshall) of #SittingInLimbo ... for telling the true and horrendous story of Anthony Bryan and shining an essential light on the #WindrushScandal .
