I choose those two names for a reason, by the way. The latter was, and is, the great love of my Mum’s life. As far as she’s concerned he’s the best looking man ever, and my brother and I are joint second. Doberman’s name comes to mind because he reminds me of a coping strategy I’ve deployed over the years. A long time ago Phil Silvers, who played Sergeant Bilko, was on Parkinson’s chat show. Parky asked him what Doberman was like and Phil Silvers said something along the lines of “Oh he’s fine; he just thinks he’s Cary Grant playing the part of an ugly critter.” I’ve often wondered if, at some level, I take the same view about myself on television. I will check with my psychiatrist and get back to you.
