This article about Sir Ian falling on her from the stage.

Of course I have sympathy, but blimey the woman doesn't half milk it does she?

Where there's blame there's a claim, hey...

I couldn’t believe it when I read this. Me, me, me.

To be fair, it does look like everyone rushed to help the famous actor and didn’t give equal priority to the non-famous person that he fell on.

I do agree!

But the picture of her crying in the hospital, over egging of what were actually at the end of the day soft tissue injuries...just shrieks of a claim.

I'm disappointed in the BBC for this article.

Or maybe they were more concerned with the 88 year old who’d just fallen from a fair height?

‘His head hit my knee quite hard’ - I think she got the better side of that exchange.

My DD's friend had to gave her leg amputated after a man fell on her. Her injuries weren't apparent straight away. She shouldn't have been ignored the way she was, or have to get her own taxi to go to the hospital.

Soft tissue injuries can take months and months to heal. You can't always go about your everyday activities.

Classic FM news annoys me, because it often has the “choked with tears” interviews.

Is she pregnant? The article (if you can call it that) refers to ‘her condition’.
