I enjoyed it all the way through. A little Fargoish and a little like Patriot.

The main character is the least interesting person in it.

I would agree with that. Helen is great and of course Billy with the mother with 1000 jobs

Watching Jimbo Nesbitt in Stay Close. Mother of God what absolute drivel.

Budget seems to have increased judging by the guest stars.

Best thing since sliced bread

Finished The Tourist - don’t get the criticism. Was very different and very enjoyable

Just seen the West End musical, Frozen. It's surprising me to say this - but it was f*cking awesome.

Why?

When i went the main characters changed races as they aged.

It was okay, a rough retread of the film.

I'm working my way through most theatre productions. Next Saturday I'm off to see The Shark is Broken , so expect a thorough review.

Given a) it's Disney, b) the central premise is smashing the patriarchy, and c) it's received a 5 star review from The Guardian, I was braced for some wokery. Continuity issues with the lead characters melatonin levels was a new one, however. But we, the audience, graciously overlooked this as the child actors all put in a good performance.

I thought the quality of the stage production and effects was on a different level. Obviously anything with the Disney brand will have a decent budget, but it did impress. And the out-of-the-blue Hygge number was great.

Have you seen Back to the Future yet?

Nope, but I intend to.

Went over Xmas, it was out of this world.

I am watching the Wheel of Life on Prime. Bit like Lord of the Rings I suppose. It's quite fun.

Jojo Rabbit - I thought it was more than decent.

Four Lives was very good. The Met really are s***, aren't they.

Stephen Merchant was very believable considering he normally plays for laughs. Even though I have mainly seen Sheridan Smith as he life has been played out in the tabloids, I was very impressed with her as well.

Started watching the night manager this week, still got two episodes to go, but f*** me is it good. I know I’m a bit late to the party, better late than never I guess.

Just got back from watching the Shark is Broken at the Ambassadors Theatre. I thought it was good.

Enjoying The Responder, Martin Freeman doing a great job as a stressed scouse bizzie. 8/10 so far.
Saw Boiling Point with Steven Graham as a, stressed chef. 10/10.
After Life 3- equally great and awful at different times. 5/10.
Only Connect- another great series

Went to see the Dirty Dancing musical today, so you don't have to.

It's actually worse than you're currently imagining.

The Alex Salmond Show on RT.

The Mousetrap at St Martin's Theatre.

Good production and all actors put in a decent shift for what is a well established West End play. But full of plot holes. Worth it if you've not seen a previous production, but the script and plot feels dated now.

Didn't know it was still showing

Yep. Even after London is nothing but a post-nuclear wasteland, this will still be showing. This will be our legacy to a future civilisation.
