It has been reported that Harold Pinter, dramatist, playwright and actor has been diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus, the same condition which caused the death of John Thaw. Pinter who was born in 1930 has such great works to his credit as "The Caretaker" and "The Birthday Party." His film work includes "The Servant" and "The French Lieutenant's Woman" to name but a few. My prayers are with him in the hope that he makes a recovery.
