She's dead now, but if you'd told me a week ago that the wife of Anthony Eden was still alive I'd have found that pretty surprising

He’s someone who I have a personal interest in and I wonder how his death will be reported, whether it will be just on the obituaries page a few days later or as news reports on the day.
― Alba, Monday, 22 November 2021 12:21 (four years ago)
Not sure he's that well known anymore.

I think he is now best known for co-writing Eyes Wide Shut; this piece he wrote for the film's 20th anniversary a couple of years ago reads like parody ("How come Eyes Wide Shut seems, as the cant says, ‘more relevant’ after 20 years?")

and for always appearing in Private Eye's yearly literary review round-up, claiming the prize for the most obscure/high-toned/expensive book review of the year.
I would be surprised if his death made the television news. Perhaps there should be a remake of 'Glittering Prizes'...

Oh, it looks like that was Freddy in conversation - a bracing experience, I would imagine.

They could at least air it again on BBC Four or iPlayer. And maybe ITV could do the same for his follow-up After the War (fat chance).

it's true that only a cant would think EWS is relevant, it sucks and is dumb (sorry morbs)
