GOOD

to know Casualty star derek Thompson — he plays Charlie Fairhead — is putting his £350,000 BBC salary to good use. ‘derek’s very generous. He always buys the drinks when the cast goes out,’ reveals his former costar Tom Chambers at the book launch of Re-Invent Me by Camilla dallerup in Soho. ‘He’s like an uncle. He’s like the BFG. Most actors who feel lucky to be somewhere for long enough feel like the shepherd, so he takes care of us and always buys drinks. That’s about ten or 15 of us at a time!’
