The 'celebrity' BBC team that Richard mentioned struck a chord. My dad was a Television cameraman, he started at the BBC in the fifties. He was based at Lime Grove for a while in the sixties and used to do popular entertainment programmes like '65 Special'. He always got an 'appearance bonus' when his camera was caught in shot, his payslips list the programme he appeared on and the length of time he was visible.

I don't know if other artists would want to do a deal like Taylor's with TikTok because I don't know what that deal was. Did TikTok agree to pay her what Universal were asking? Or did she agree to accept what TikTok were offering? Or did they compromise on something in-between? None of us knows. It may well be that she agreed to low royalties because she cares more about the publicity from being on TikTok than she does about the revenue she can make from TikTok, whereas other artists that aren't millionaires already are happy that Universal is standing up for them and demanding fair pay.

Re: phone hacking, it was an open secret in the mobile phone sales industry. Everyone knew that there was a loophole with one networks remote access to voicemail (let's call it oxygen). All you needed was the phone number and the fact that the owner hadn't changed the default access pin from 0000 and you could listen to their voicemails. A lot of people made a lot of money from journalists buying details of celebrities mobile numbers if they signed someone up to the network that had this security leak

I thought they might have cast a little younger, which I know sounds counter intuitive, but with four books and more on the way, casting actors in their late 60s and ageing them up for the first couple of films would be an understandable route to take.

Forty years after Madonna, Michael Jackson and many others of the period were at their height, we are still hearing their music being played everywhere - radio, tv, sports grounds, shops, cafes, high street stores and supermarkets. By 2064, I bet that we won't be saying the same about the current crop of musicians, including Ms Swift. In fact, I would hazard a guess that the above mentioned 1980s stars will still be getting played everywhere 🤨

Wouldn't it be great if we could add to the paucity of travelogues based around the adventures of two celebrity chums say, in a camper van or similar, or anything really, with celebs, doing stuff. It makes me sad but I live in hope. Oh, and more pop songs that would sound equally at home in musical theatre - there's definitely not enough of those along with interchangeable, earnest young men singing plaintive ballad sort of things.

The interesting thing about Taylor Swift’s level of success is that, compared to the 80s icons Madonna, Whitney, MJ etc, she doesn’t really produce what you’d call “pop bangers,” particularly on her last four albums. It’s quite introspective sit at home in the bedroom and listen carefully to the lyrics sort of music, which given the enormity of her level of fame is I think quite unusual.

Celebrity Traitors is a bad idea in my opinion, it's like poker with play money, it sounds fine but without the jeopardy of playing for real money it means nothing. Celebrities aren't incentived to win, they are incentivised to be noticed, which in the Traitors is not optimal. It might do well in the ratings, but it hurts the product and I think that it'll kill the longevity of the show.
