Last night s showing of Friends: The Reunion reminded me with a jolt that I have a similar theatrical get-together coming up.
Well, I say it s similar, but as far as I m aware there are no plans to film the 50th anniversary gathering of the cast of Gloves For Mr Busby, a school production in which I played a modest part at the age of 16.
Another difference is that I have yet to be offered an appearance fee of $2.5 million (about £1.8 million) the sum reportedly paid to each member of the cast of the cult U.S. sitcom simply for turning up at our reunion.
