SHOULD THERE STILL BE

any doubt (apparently there very much is) concerning the sincerity of my apology in last month’s column to the boy I “assaulted” with a broom on the set of a popular TV drama, let me hastily clarify matters. Readers may recall the young man appeared overzealous with his prodding stick, designed to keep actors socially distanced on the day, prompting yours truly to take matters into his own hands. I've since discovered, however, that the lad in question is the most exemplary of young men, who, should he kindly accept this conciliatory approach, I'd be honoured to call a colleague and friend. Might I also add that this is in no way connected to the fact I've only belatedly been told the boy's mother counts among our industry's most powerful and influential producers.
