It was bad, then good news in fandom land today
... Firstly the bad news, Richard Madden wasn’t
nominated for the TV BAFTA Leading Actor category for his role in Bodyguard
... and it transpires this isn’t because his interpretation of the role of DC
Budd wasn’t good enough. The admitted
reason was due to there being only four nominations in each category and the
jury decided that diversity was more important than talent – the nominees
being Benedict Cumberbatch, Hugh Grant, Chance Perdomo and Lucian Msamati. It’s a travesty. Keeley Hawes was nominated
twice, for Bodyguard in the Leading Actress and for Mrs Wilson in the Best
Supporting Actress categories.
Bodyguard also received a Best Drama Series nomination. So why is the red-headed, blue-eyed, Scotsman the
one who doesn’t get a nomination? It’s
disgusting. Poor Richard. However, at lunch-time, news came through that
Richard will be one of the actors starring in a new film called ‘1917’ to be filmed in England and
Scotland; production starts next Monday. J Be still my beating heart!!! Richard Madden, Benedict Cumberbatch and Colin Firth to star in film |

A new

Madden ahead of Rocketman’s release in May: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSFhDBlMQNk&feature=share I must do some screen-shots for posterity! By which I mean for my
ever-growing collection of A5 photo albums dedicated to the Scottish actor!!! |

My Cheltenham Festival blog this year is going to
be very factual, as I wasn’t functioning at 100% due to being emotionally
distracted at the present time … which, ties in nicely to: Friday was Comic Relief Red Nose Day and here is
the link to the Bodyguard spoof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aKCpcQUDcg OMG … I love this GIF: |

This is a youtube link to the short film, Group B (2015); it is 25 minutes long and, of course, features
Richard Madden. He plays a rally
driver, Shane Hunter, who is making a comeback following a fatal
accident: |

With Red Nose Day approaching fast –
Friday 15 March – the BBC has released a short video from the Bodyguard spoof;
here is Richard Madden, aka David Budd, with Sanjeev
Bhaskar: https://twitter.com/i/status/1102946637276766208 And there’s a photo too:
It’s
unlikely that anyone is better looking than Richard ... here is one of my
favourite photos, taken in New York last month:

@lifeinreverie As well as
having a ‘Mallen streak’ or in this instance a ‘Madden streak’ (known as poliosis), Richard’s combination of natural hair and eye colour
is very unusual – auburn with (beautiful) blue eyes. Redheads usually have brown, hazel or green
eyes! |
