After reading Alan Rickman’s posthumously published diaries, Madly, Deeply, Carriejay wonders why they were published. “It isn’t that I want salacious gossip, it’s that you’d think you’d get a better sense of someone from years of their diaries, and yet I didn’t.” What stories would you have liked to hear from Alan Rickman?

This tweet is over two weeks old, but I only just now saw it and laughed like a moron. Is this how dementia starts? It is, isn’t it? Oh god.
