Nagel Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 "The trouble is that the BBC now is run by women and it shows: soap operas, cooking, quizzes, kitchen-sink plays. You wouldn’t have had that in the golden days." said Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johncocker Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Sir Patrick said in an interview last year: 'I’m near the end of my life now. 'It doesn’t worry me. I don’t think it ends here, you see. If it did, the entire thing would be pointless, but the universe is not pointless. No, this isn’t the end. We go on to the next stage. I shall be interested to see what it is.' 'Who knows? It might be somewhere I can learn to bat decently. sadly eccentrics like patrick are thin on the ground now in the uk, I agree with his belief that " life is just a stepping stone " to another stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
