FROM THE DAILY MAIL ARCHIVE FEBRUARY 3, 1983 THE legal loophole which allowed Michael Fagan to escape prosecution after invading the Queen's bedroom could soon be plugged. The Home Secretary has published proposals to make trespassing a criminal offence. But his dilemma is whether to frame a law solely to protect the Royal Family and senior Government ministers, or whether it should apply to everyone's home. FEBRUARY 3, 2000 MIRROR editor Piers Morgan was facing a share-dealing investigation yesterday after he admitted buying £20,000 of stock in Viglen Technology the day before his paper tipped the price to soar. He saw his investment leap to a value of nearly £50,000 the following day. He insisted he did not have prior knowledge of his paper's City Slickers financial column. HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIRSTY WARK, 70. The Scottish journalist, host of Radio 4's Start The Week, stepped down from BBC2's Newsnight last year after 30 years - its longest-serving presenter. She made it to the final of Celebrity MasterChef in 2011. ISLA FISHER, 49. The actress was born to Scottish parents in Oman but moved to Australia aged six. She starred in the films Wedding Crashers and The Great Gatsby after shooting to fame in the soap Home And Away, which she said taught her 'how to look good in a bikini'. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

BACK in the late 1970s I was the area supervisor in Kent for the service division of a national domestic appliance manufacturer. We received a complaint from a customer who wasn't happy with the service she'd received from one of our engineers. I was asked to visit her with a different engineer, who was also a friend of mine (he still is). When we arrived at her house, she opened the door using a duster in her hand. The whole of the hallway had brown paper sellotaped to the carpet, and she said: 'Make sure you only walk on the paper.' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

WRITER and critic Samuel Johnson (pictured) was the 'undisputed heavyweight champion of the word', says Naomi Alderman in this latest of her fascinating series. His story also gives hope to people who lead chaotic lives. He lived surrounded by piles of books and papers strewn everywhere, which he struggled to read with his poor eyesight. Working doggedly, however, he still managed to produce poetry, prose, his Lives Of The English Poets and A Dictionary of the English Language, a momentous task that took eight years to complete.

PRINCE Andrew's Buckingham Palace-headed letter - sent by his most trusted lieutenant to thank an alleged Chinese spy for support, and posted months after the prince was forced into royal exile - raises courtly eyebrows. Using the palace's stationery cupboard shows Andrew was still carrying on regardless. The paper and envelopes bearing his dukely coronet atop the Garter badge, the highest order in the land, are designed to impress. But, says a source, they should never be used for private business interests. His letters did, however, lose a bit of lustre. The source says that his attempts to continue to have franked with the palace's grand postmark and impressive 'CIIIR' cypher were blocked by officials. Andrew had to buy stamps like everyone else.

MOST newspapers are showing a photo of President Trump and one of his many executive orders but all that is visible is large scrawl made by a thick sharpie. It can be assumed they haven't been blurred out for secrecy reasons or that every paper printed a low-quality copy. If we consider what is visible, it resembles an ECG printout but that would confirm he has a heart which has been disputed as a result of his immigration and health orders. Another possibility is that the image is from a seismograph suggesting an earthquake and all of the damage that would cause. How much damage can one person do to a planet in four years? A lot considering he withdrew the US from the Paris agreement after one day. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

LAURENCE Olivier's widow Joan Plowright, who has died aged 95, incurred his wrath by accepting the invitation of Peter Hall, Olivier's successor at the National Theatre, to star as Martha in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? At breakfast in 1981, Larry served her with divorce papers saying: 'No wife of mine will appear in Peter Hall's National Theatre.' Distressed, Joan withdrew citing a throat infection.

NEWLY released official documents say the late Queen wasn't told her trusted art adviser Anthony Blunt was a Russian spy until nine years after his 1964 confession. But his KGB connections were an open secret at Buckingham Palace long before. Tommy Lascelles, private secretary to George VI and the Queen, routinely referred to Blunt as 'our Russian spy'. King George sent Blunt on a mission to Germany in 1945 to recover documents linking Edward VIII to Hitler. He also retrieved letters written by Philip to his sisters (three of whom were married to Nazi Party members). These remain secreted in the Royal Archives in what courtiers call Room 101, where papers the family don't want anyone to see disappear. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

A FAIR deal for the elderly and their families on social care has been kicked into the long grass yet again, delayed for another three years. All three main parties have been promising a solution to this problem for 26 years or more. But it has been all words and no action after the Sutherland Commission report in 1999, Andrew Dilnot's report on care funding in 2011, Theresa May's green paper and Boris Johnson's 'clear plan we have prepared' in 2019.

BASED on the hit French hit Astrid Et Raphaelle (which you can stream on Channel 4 as Astrid: Murder In Paris), this is a crime drama with a twist. Patience Evans (Ella Maisy Purvis) is an autistic archivist in the criminal records department (AKA Paper Mountain), whose unique skills - finding patterns in data, for one - are spotted by Detective Bea Metcalfe (Laura Fraser, pictured, on right, with Purvis) as she works a suicide that is supposedly cut and dried (it isn't). The six-part series works as a detective mystery, set in the beautiful English city of York and with moments of lightness, but the big draw is Patience and what life is like for her. Her autism is much more than a gimmick used to solve crime, and makes the show overall more interesting. She has a backstory that slowly develops, and Metcalfe, a dedicated detective who has to tackle problems of her own, gets Patience in all the right ways: 'I don't care if she's autistic, I care if she's right.' It's also to be admired that Purvis, as well as all the other autistic characters featured in the series, are played by neuro-diverse actors. The actress says of her role in the show: 'Patience is a character full of depth, intelligence, and an unwavering passion for justice, and I can't wait for viewers to join her on this thrilling journey.'
