According to the pre-show hype for ITV’s Noele Gordon three-parter Nolly, Helena Bonham Carter tried to contact the Crossroads legend via a clairvoyant.
Showbiz tittle-tattle, perhaps. But the idea of attempting to establish a connection with a seemingly unreachable entity may have struck a chord with one or two viewers who tried to watch Nolly on ITVX last night.
For the uninitiated, I should explain that ITVX is ITV’s answer to BBC iPlayer - but only if the question is, what would BBC iPlayer be like if it had adverts and didn’t work properly?
