More happens in one episode of Bad Sisters than the whole of deadly dull Silo s2 🥱. It has everything: great writing, performances, pace and it’s so funny.

As I was looking at it, a daffodil popped open and released the joyful scent of spring into my room.

At Cabaret yesterday, Cliff said his line “…if you’re not against all this then you’re for it. Or you might as well be”. The audience interrupted the scene to applaud that line so strongly it stopped the show. Doing a show about the onset of fascism right now is. . . chilling.

FTSE 100 CEO gets more in less than 3 days than average worker pay for a yr. Median CEO pay £4.22m, 113 times average worker. Nothing to do with performance. Shareholder objections ignored. Need worker-elected directors on boards. Let workers vote on exec pay. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

1928 Fleming makes a groundbreaking discovery that will lead to countless lives being saved. 2025 “Well we screwed that up didn’t we?”

A Better Man is a strange film and it is worth a visit to the cinema to see it, even if you are not interested in Robbie Williams. And yes the chimp thing REALLY works.
