Can't believe Rev. Richard Coles dropped this tea about a Jimmy Somerville/Chris Lowe hookup and no one noticed???

HIGNFY's Guest Webterview: The Reverend Richard Coles

HIGNFY: You last appeared as a HIGNFY guest in 1994 - how do you feel returning now 15 years later?

Richard Coles: Bitter and vengeful.

HIGNFY: What stories do you think will be covered this week and how have you been preparing?

Richard Coles: I'm afraid I only see the paper after my neighbour Mr Welsh has finished with it, so I may be a little behind; but this 'credit crunch' looks like it might turn into something.

HIGNFY: Are you looking forward to reforming The Communards with Ian?

Richard Coles: Cometh the hour...

HIGNFY: It's the stuff of legend, you met Jimmy Somerville by chance at a Kings Cross Café - tell me more.

Richard Coles: I'm afraid we told so many lies about how we'd met I can't remember now where and when we actually did meet. It was more likely to have been the café in King Cross than the brothel in Amsterdam, which I once saw in a magazine.

HIGNFY: Don't Leave Me This Way was the UK's biggest selling single of 1986 - how did that feel?

Richard Coles: Very bracing.

HIGNFY: Do you know what the Second highest selling single of 1986 was? It was Nick Berry Every Loser Wins.

Richard Coles: What a great year.

HIGNFY: How far from your life as a Rev are the pictures painted by comedies such as The Vicar of Dibley?

Richard Coles: You mean The Vicar of Dibley isn't a documentary?

[Delitto all'ora del vespro][Rev. Richard Coles]

Il romanzo del momento l'ha scritto un reverendo gay: un giallo ambientato tra i parrocchiani di un pittoresco villaggio inglese.

Il canonico Daniel Clement è il rettore della parrocchia di St Mary attorno a cui si raccoglie Champton, un caratteristico villaggio della campagna inglese. Se non fosse per la madre Audrey, un po’ petulante, e per qualche bega con i fedeli, Daniel potrebbe godersi la pace del luogo insieme ai suoi amati bassotti tedeschi. Ma quando Clement annuncia dal pulpito che la chiesa necessita di un nuovo…

August Reads

As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, I ran up against the limitations of my body this August and so the months reviews are a little late (although I’ve back dated the post so it is in the correct order on my blog) and I didn’t read anywhere near as much as I did in July because I have been trying to properly rest when I can rather than “rest” by crocheting and reading at the same time. Of the six,…

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day treat on BBC radio 4 😃🎄👻

Last few issues of Times have had interviews with Kieran Culkin (love him + he’s been so good in Succession), Charlie Brooker, Richard Coles, Edward Enniful (sad to hear he’s basically been ousted as UK editor of Vogue), Justine Lupe (Willa on Succession), Plus Alan Cumming on Noel Coward and a little bit on best/worst series endings in honour of the Succession finale.

Also reviews of Fubar, Poker Face, Succession, The Gallows Pole and the Succession script books as well as the film Sisu.

This wasn't quite a ghost hunt but instead was an interesting meditation on life, loss, atheism and Christianity. Both Gatiss and Coles are compelling narrators.
