Just watching this now and it was quite torturous to see how gutted the Victoria Palace was and how much work it must be taking to get it ready for Hamilton. It’s truly a complete renovation. At least the toilets are done

Really, I think only the most mean spirited could slag him off for putting his efforts into something he loves. If you don't like big production musicals, don't see them. Not difficult.

Just watched this. Anyone else slightly disappointed that his dairy farms are producing cheese, rather than interval ice cream?

I watched Imagine last night, and I'm sure it was an old programme "topped and tailed" by Images of "Half a sixpence". I've certainly seen most of it before. I thought exactly the same Hulmey, it looked so familiar.
The insights of him as a child impresario, Darryl F Mackinstosh, were a bit scary, as though he was on a predetermined path.
Think it did have an angle to show him as a bit dramatic and difficult. But thought the section about his and Michael's relationship was nicely done.

Just watched this. He comes across as he always has, driven, devoted to his theatres, his shows, and his associates, and the bit where he talked about meeting Michael was so sweet and lovely. I think he's a one off and if he is a control freak, then he tries to guarantee quality and has certainly done much to enrich the cultural fabric of musicals. Although it rather glossed over the fact he's had quite a few failures since Cats, it was an excellent profile.
