You should tell them you wrote the song," said his wife, Roni. "Maybe they'll give us free tickets."

He worried about how his 1977 song "All I Want Is You" would be featured in the then-newly released motion picture, Juno - and whether more than 30 years as a children's author and entertainer would be tarnished by a momentary mocking of his work on the big screen.

Penelope Keith and the handbag landmine
There were one or two things that I thought were terribly funny when I read the script, I must say. It was just bizarre, it was déjà vu. It was fun to do." There are no plans for the Manor to be reborn again. Keith is married to Rodney Timson, whom she met while appearing in a play in Chichester in 1976. He was a policeman, twice divorced, four years younger than her, assigned to the theatre. Tabloid attention ensued. These days he looks after his wife's business affairs - though she guffaws at the suggestion that he's her manager - and has a bit of a reputation for his, er, uncompromising language. Keith smiles.

He does occasionally at journalists, but he had a very bad time early on - I mean, chasing him while he was doing his job is not on, is it?" Timson and Keith's latest brush with Her Majesty's Press has been over their proposed café in Avoch in the Highlands.
