Doctor Who 60th Anniversary: Fans go WILD for David Tennant and Catherine Tate's long-awaited return: 'I have missed them so much!' Bennett’s world exists in a timewarp. When he is out and about, his favourite destinations are junk shops and second-hand bookshops, those haunts of ‘the lonely and the eccentric’. In Age Concern he finds an art book autographed by the spy Anthony Blunt. EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Kate Middleton stayed home to help George with exams. Now, proud parents face a dilemma over whether to send their elder son to single-sex school nextWe have agreed that the cast and crew in the Talking Heads remount should do so for a token fee, with any profits to be given to the NHS. I’m somewhat staggered to find that this amounts to a million pounds, possibly more. It’s no skin off my nose, as I never expected the programmes to be repeated, but the financial sacrifice for some of the cast and crew will not just be notional.

Huw Edwards 'to leave BBC after being given inquiry findings' into his alleged behaviour following sex pic scandal There is something about this early lesson in the danger that other people pose that contributes to the impression Alan Bennett always gives of having been primed for apartness. He recounts a telling anecdote from 1941 in which the whole family went on a Sunday fishing expedition in the country. Bennett and his brother wore their school caps, his mother her swagger coat, and his father the suit with the good trousers. Having failed to catch anything – were they even in the right place? – the unlikely sportsmen take themselves stoically home. “We never joined in, got the gear, looked the part,” recalls Bennett and it is clear that he is thinking of more than just fishing.
