When it comes to magazine covers, Joan is up there with those icons who can list hundreds of cover shots. While I cant profess to have all of them, I do have many and I hope to share them on a regular basis. I recently featured Joan's latest cover for "The Lady" magazine, but today we go back to 1991. Joan appeared on this edition of the BBC programme guide "Radio Times", to herald the start of her eight part series for the BBC, "Tonight at 8.30" based on Noel Cowards set of mini plays. On the cover she is in character as Piggie Gilpin in the first episode "Hands across the Sea", which also starred John Nettles , Sian Phillips, Miriam Margoyles and Bernard Cribbins. The show was not a ratings success, but it did find an audience in the USA, where is was retitled "Collins meets Coward". It is now available on "The Noel Coward Collection" box set from BBC Video.
