(20) London – Another trip into the capital (Camden, to be precise) to attend the book launch of Finding The Fifth Beatle, a rather impressive publication by good friend, David Bedford. A truly splendid day, with three other mates including Paul Skellart.

- Further phone call discussions, with a top UK director, took place today… the start on the new “alternate” movie idea was edging nearer, it seemed.
