Boots are using a black actress in their Christmas advert.

I assume the concerns are "legitimate"

Best you don't hear what happened to him the first time around. Dame Sheila doesn't elaborate on what JC might say to get him in hot water.
Dame Sheila Hancock says Jesus would have been cancelled if he were still alive.

She went on to say that Jesus is very important to her, but that she believes he would be cancelled if he were alive in this day and age.

“Christ wouldn’t have lasted a minute because he said exactly what he thought, he’d have been cancelled,” she said.

A decent editor would have spiked that - not opened an older woman to ridicule.

Telegraph probably missed the original story.

All that timber and nails stuff's for tradesman's rags like the Mirror or Sun.

Legendary? Seems Noah Cross's dictum applies*.

My awareness of her career is Carry On Cleo, and talking about being married to John Thaw.

*Character in Chinatown. Says that anyone who gets old enough becomes respectable.

Sheila Hancock played Hengist Pod's (Kenneth Connor) wife, Senna, in Carry On Cleo.

She probably wasn't in "Carry in Cleo". :|

What ? Of course she has been in lots of other things as well. She is a career actor who has worked for about 70 years. But the point at issue is that she was in Carry On Cleo. Contrary to what you said. What was that about whataboutery ?

You should have your £40 now. Let me know if not. And remind me never to make rash wagers like that again. Bloody Labour.
