So after seeing the superb Guard I head straight to Wm Hill to stick £100 on Brendan Gleeson for Best Actor Oscar. Of course they ain't giving odds yet but the two girls behind the counter say "I don't know him". "Yes you do", I answer. "Have you seen Harry Potter?".

Of course they then click he's Mad Eye Moody - "my favourite character with Bellatrix" says one girl.

"My favourite actress" I say. "Brilliant in The King's Speech".

"Oh my God, that's where I knew her from. You've made my day telling me that!".
