london1967For us the week-end kicked off in posh Chelsea where we went to see Keira Knightley's latest film: The Duchess.
It was good entertainment: spectacular costumes and beautiful buildings. The acting was fine too.
And going from a duchess to a 'simple' OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire), tomorrow night the lovely Joanna Lumley
will be on BBC1 in "Joanna Lumley: In the Land of the Northern Lights".
The reviews are mixed, some saying that she should have stayed at home, and some suggesting that the programme offers soft porn for middle aged men (apparently, you watch Joanna undress before bed).
Obviously the soft porn angle doesn't quite work for me, but I'm going to watch the programme anyway!
And as we are talking about telly, tonight Graham Norton hosted the second Eurovision Dance Contest in Glasgow
Only 14 countries but the same vote-for-your-neighbour outcome as the song contest; but it was worth watching for how Graham interacted with the presenters reading the votes from around Europe: hilarious!
