Now the finale has aired, #bigboys is one of the best things I’ve ever seen. Funny, hit me in my always-young-nostalgic mind, the loss of my own best friend, my own uni-going teens loved/got it, living with excellent/shit families - just brilliant TV

Incoming!

His discomfort at criticising a much-needed Labour government while giving some Benn-like credit to (despised from birth) Thatcher’s strength is so relatable to me. Still have hope, but fucking hell, get a bold grip Labour or fail us all

Another rewatch on the go of @davegorman.bsky.social Modern Life is Goodish - the teens have rewatched eps too at uni. It’s got a unique blend of smart sassy & joy, without being a quiz. Looking forward to the new ones!

Wynne Evans thing is classic “when people show you who they are, believe them” esp red alert when they’re a celeb-curtained “respectable white man”. It’s not sensitive to demand men control themselves verbally, is life saving to prevent other men doing worse

Thoroughly enjoyed watching the game, it’s lovely bit of telly. The scrutinising of how it could be better/was wrong is as meaningless as every family board game inquest #thetraitors

TV is so great and ESPECIALLY when it’s grown ups having fun #thetraitors #taskmaster #gonefishing

This is a hell of a piece of writing about a story that, if you heard about it for the first time, would blow your socks off. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

Boring but seemingly controversial opinion: Amanda & Alan’s renovation shows are lovely & they both (Amanda more surprisingly I guess) come across in it as people you’d enjoy being around & have a good laugh with 🤷🏼‍♀️

Got a sub for #NationalTheatreAtHome and we have gorged absolutely stunning work so far with: - Vanya - People Places & Things - Present Laughter - Death of England (part way through the trilogy) Had already seen Prima Facie but will watch again. £10 for a month of incredible stuff

Hope @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social is having a fry up for tea/dinner & takes 2 mins (egg dip) to absorb the correct good things people are saying about her. The ignorant are proving how hard it is to protect women & give them a greater voice / more power with their onslaughts. She’s doing a great job

Yvette Cooper, "None of the 20 recommendations from the independent inquiry into child abuse have been implemented" "Two different Conservative Home Secretaries said after the report was published: it was a watershed, should be a beginning for a new chapter for change. But that has not happened"

Just sat in my stationery car, drinking a cortado and listening to the rain beat on the roof as the windows slowly fog up. #BratWinter

Already a complete mess #Strictly

Really miss not having toys to buy for anyone, I’ve wrapped more tiny brow care & serums than any Somme goer can handle

Went to a carol concert for my friend’s sons (5&7) & they broke me of “I don’t even really miss my Uni daughters”. I NOW do miss them, I want to buy toys & be annoyed everyday by hyper kids. My ovaries are pumping (that should be a Carol)

Se7en is a Christmas movie because people talk about the Bible and Brad Pitt gets a present at the end.

Mariah was the best of credible pop in the 90s. Fantasy my fave BUT Luther collab woah. Luther Vandross was my intro to soul/rnb/hiphop as a tiny kid. He’s so underrated in the general music scene - where are the Luther homage specials?

Sarah’s jive was hot & she’s incredible #strictly

Chris and Dianne totally beautiful #strictly

In awe of anyone who can run up stairs without touching the handrail (especially Chris) #strictly

JB had the rage face of everyone who has to work on their birthday #strictly

"Cinema is not just about telling stories. It’s about people having experiences in front of you, where, if it’s transparent enough, they can experience it with you. You become them. They become you. That’s the communion. That’s the experience."--Willem Dafoe www.vulture.com/article/will...

“Hair-shirted miserabilism of women” is my fave bit of many

Imagine being the first person to hear the Knight Rider theme. I would've run through a wall at the studio.

Re my moaning about the dreadful Apple Photos update. This was helpfully sent to me and works a treat. Takes you almost back to normal.

Am enjoying @aiannucci.bsky.social & @helenlewis.bsky.social series on political language and how it spills into everyday life like toxic waste www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

My 81yo mum: “DJ Spoony? Is he the one who did the song about spooning? ….. Y’know, with the spoons banging on his knees” Me: ………..🧐…..yep that’s him #thewheel

This top 6 are all gorgeous (keep Pete & Chris to the final) #strictly
