Tony Staveacre writes: Colin Welland had started to add screenwriting to his distinguished acting credits when we invited him to be one of the judges for our BBC2 playwriting competition in 1972, alongside Keith Dewhurst and John Hopkins. The undisputed winner was a harbour-master’s wife from Sunderland, Denise Robertson, and this first play launched a great broadcasting career for her. Her play – The Soda Water Fountain – was recorded and shown on BBC2, after which we were to broadcast a judges’ discussion. This prompted Colin to launch into a tirade about the production that he’d just seen, and a complaint that the play had been woefully miscast, with not a single authentic Tyneside voice to be heard.
He had a point. The leading role was played by Jessie Matthews. Also, the play had been recorded in a BBC studio, when it should have been filmed on the real north-east locations where it was set,...

Phillip Schofield has described Danny Dyer as a "f**king god" for his ability to swear well.
Alan Carr asked the This Morning presenter about Dyer after his strong showing on last week's episode of Chatty Man.
Carr said: "We had Danny Dyer on last week and he is a god! We talked about the rape storyline and he is inspiring."
Schofield replied: "Yes he is. Well the one thing you've forgotten about him, is that Danny Dyer is a f**king god.
"He can't actually speak without him peppering it with occasional swearing. I like people that use it well. He uses it well!"
Asked about the complaints received by This Morning, Schofield said: "We had a breast cancer item on the other day and I couldn't believe that people were complaining with the fact that we showed a woman who was checking herself for breast cancer.
"Pull yourselves together.
