(And I thought trading Pokémon in Pokémon Go would be the most exciting bit of news this week. 🙂

 I FUCKING hoped for KNEW IT!!!!!!!!

Thank you for finding this excellent news!!!!!

(Let’s face it, if Pinter + Marber can’t get Rupert back on stage, than who can. AND NOW THEY HAVE.)

Some caps of Rupert Graves from the clip
of Swimming With Men shown on The Graham Norton Show on June 8th which had Rob Brydon as a guest.

If you can view BBC iPlayer it’s [here] (Rob’s bit starts at about 12:00 but the whole show was hilarious.)

Why…why didn’t Tumblr show this to me until now

Rupert’s birthday is a month today on June 30th!

As in previous years, it would be lovely to celebrate the occasion

not only with messages and well wishes but also by all joining together and raising some money on Rupert’s behalf for a cause he cares about.

This year, at the Graves family’s request, we’re raising money to benefit The Alf Dubs Children’s Fund.

Alf Dubs arrived in Britain on a train from Prague in 1939 when he was
just six years old. He was one of 10,000 Jewish and other children
rescued by the Kindertransport in the two years before the outbreak of
WWII. Now a member of the House of Lords and life-long advocate for
refugees, Lord Alf Dubs is leading efforts to help a new generation of
unaccompanied child refugees in Europe and on their arrival to the UK.

(Rupert Graves played Sir Nicholas Winton, the organiser of the train Alf Dubs escaped on, in a movie about those events and also spoke at a memorial service for him in 2016, a year after Winton passed at the age of 106.)

There will be a fanworks auction again (more details on that to
follow in a separate post so please follow this blog if you’re interested) but if you have the pennies available and you’re not saving them to make
a winning bid and just want to go straight to giving Rupert his
pressie then please…

DONATE HERE! 🙂

Thank you!
