My Godson, Ross Tomlinson, has just been on the telly. I spotted him in a trailer and watched Doctors on BBC1 to make sure it was really him. The photo is from his website and shows Ross as I remember him last, a dear, sweet boy.

But now I think about it, when I saw him last he had just acquired a passion for Stephen King novels. And he has grown quite a bit too. Maybe time for a new photo? I just looked through my photos, but he was way auditioning when I last took photos of the family.

All that horror has paid off as he was playing against type in Doctors today, as the school bully, and pretty nasty he got. The nice Doctor made his character see sense and he and the target, a weedy violinist, became friends. But you could see it in Ross’s eyes, he didn’t believe in the wimpy plot – Ross is ready for far more sinister roles.

Oh where is that sweet, young boy I remember?
