Is this what Joanna, Colin and others really think?

Posted on April 21, 2011 by pauljohnston

Had my letter from a lot of celebrities today. I was really thrilled! Absolutely fab picture of Joanna Lumley and Colin Firth looking Darcyesque alongside.

They were all advising me to vote for AV. I bet you two years ago they didn’t know what AV was and, if they did, they didn’t like it! Now they’re all for it, it seems. It’s the best thing since sliced bread! We should all like AV because some of our best liked actors and actresses and ‘slebs’ do.

Well I like Ab Fab and Mr. Darcy and Baldrick too… Seeing him in the lineup I am reminded of a wise saying of Edmund Blackadder in an episode of Blackadder 3: “I like chops and sauce but I don’t ask their opinion!”

Seems appropriate somehow!
