Incidentally I was nearly in a lift situation with Stephen Fry as he used to come up here with Hugh Laurie back in the day to write (getting away from it all).<br /><br />As for music, I think I've probably watched more telly since lockdown began so new musical finds (or old ones rediscovered) have often come from soundtracks.

You've got me thinking now too (maybe there's a series in this? or does it just sound like English homework?) - "who would you most like and least like to be stuck in a lift with, and why?
