So, I've been listening to the terribly good BBC Radio Adaptation of the
first book of His Dark Materials, _Northern_Lights_ (US:
_The_Golden_Compass_). It's fantastic! Go listen!

Fans of the recent _Private_Lives_ revival with Alan Rickman and Lindsay
Duncan should note that Mrs Coulter is played by Emma Fielding.

*winces* Now for the embarrassing part. Anyone seen
_The_Adventures_of_Priscilla,_Queen_of_the_Desert_? Big silver/pink bus
travelling across Australia with two drag queens and a MTF transgendered
person played by Terence Stamp? "Bernadette Bassinger"? The one with the
immortal line "just what this country needs: a cock, in a frock, on a rock"?

He's playing Azriel. And all I can think about is Lord Azriel in those
fantastic costumes from the performance at the end of _Priscilla_. Here's a
clip.

I am doomed.
