Will was my dear friend and the very best of people. What a loss to those that were lucky to know him - the brightest light has gone out. All my love to Shula, Ethan and Noa. televisual.com/news/plum-pic…

Thanks to Sam Mendes and the team at ⁦@lightboxent⁩ for their work on this film which airs on BBC2 tonight ahead of the 80th anniversary of Belsen’s liberation. Sadly, in a world where the veracity of the Holocaust is debated or denied it feels more important than ever.
