ADRIAN LESTER'S SECRET DREAM

JUST working on an interesting chat I had with Adrian Lester, the Birmingham-born actor who went off to tour the world as Hamlet.

The star of Primary Colors alongside John Travolta, Kathy Bates, Larry Hagman and Emma Thompson is in Doomsday which opens tomorrow.

But where is his career going to take the Hustle star next?

And what little thing does he really, really want to to do in Birmingham?

Find out in tomorrow's Birmingham Mail when our regular Friday What's On section will have lots of ideas for things to see and do over the weekend.

PS. Today's dawn chorus is fantastic. The city's birds are signing their little hearts out as I type!
