Matt Smith 

After writing about Christopher and His Kind, a new BBC2 film about the early years of writer Christopher Isherwood, I heard from Isherwood's partner Don Bachardy's agent the following:

"Don is excited about the BBC2 adaptation of Christopher and His Kind after having met the actor playing Isherwood [Matt Smith]. Don has established the Christopher Isherwood Foundation, which gives $4,000 grants to selected novelists—take a look at the Web site for the foundation here."
