In the bathroom with Barbara...
"Guess who had a tinkle in my toilet?" asked my producer Barbara today. As far as opening lines go it's definitely one that's going to hook you in.
Turns out that her celebrity tinkler was none other than Jane Asher who was filing a ´óÏó´«Ã½ drama on Barbra's street. ( I should point out it's not a drama about Barbara's street but if her stories are to be believed it's a cross between Wisteria Lane and Peyton Place!)
Our office has a cake obsession so the fact that the high priestess of home baking has paid a visit to the producer's loo is the source of much excitement to us.
And let's not forget that thanks to Jane's relationship with Paul McCartney, Barbara's smallest room now has a Beatles connection. I sense a request for a blue plaque coming up...
