Kate Summerscale's book on the Croydon Poltergeist – The Haunting of Alma Fielding – is to be serialised on Radio 4's Book of the Week, starting in a couple of weeks' time I think, perhaps the 12th (it's not next Monday and there are no listings for the following week). There was a piece about it on this morning's Today show.

You should move to Cromer then, our local cinema's obsessed with her: Hellen Mirren plays The Queen, Hellen Mirren plays Thatcher, Hellen Mirren plays Pankhurst, I can't remember the last time they didn't have a Hellen Mirren film on. Cromer can't get enough of her.

I've just ordered the signed edition from Goldsboro books (I'm not employed by them, just buy far too many of their books!).

I recently re-watched The Long Good Friday. Now that's a movie.
