In the odd position of watching it while also seeking out spoilers from the iLs who are about a month ahead of us. Some proper wallies this season.

Sometimes I just cancel for a week or so, and then the e mail offers start. It's great value for the HBO stuff etc.
Currently on 9 months 3 euro a month
I took this advice and cancelled NowTv
Apart from I itaily asking me to reconsider, I have never heard back from them again.
I logged on yesterday to see if they’d offer anything. But their charges if anything are higher then what I paid when I did a Constanza fuelled flounce.
Now my kids are not talking to me
So it’s not all bad

Now TV are good with offers. I pay £17.99 for all Sports channels, £4.99 for entertainment and £2 for HD and multiple devices. They keep offering me £4.99 for cinema but I only take it for a month over the Xmas period

Woops. Maybe it's Ireland only offers.
What also worked for me in past in setting up new account under new email, take the free trial 7 days or whatever, cancel this and await good offer to stay. Best offers usually come just before your subscription ends.

A company of six actors stage a whodunnit play, but where the inspector investigating the crime is a well-known celebrity who has no prior knowledge of what to expect. Their lines and directions are fed to them through an earpiece.

I went to see the penultimate show on Saturday afternoon, and our special guest was Adrian Dunbar (best known for playing Ted (sweet Mary, Joseph and the wee donkey) Hastings from Line of Duty). He, and the play, was absolutely brilliant. What started off as a regular whodunnit just descended into one of the most hilariously bonkers and absurdist shows I think I have ever seen. One minute you’re watching a murder mystery, and the next you’re being treated to an impromptu Broadway musical interjected by Mastermind sequences while being randomly asked to hold an inflatable parrot.

The Park Theatre holds just 200 people, so it’s intimate. And given the quality of the show, I could easily see it selling out much bigger venues. But the creator (who was part of a Q&A panel at the end) Mark Cameron confirmed that it was always his intention for it to be a fund raiser for a limited run at a small venue. Each of the celebrities that attend do so for free. And to his credit he has had a decent line up of well-known names. I heard that on one of the previous nights, Johnny Vegas stripped off naked and ran into the audience.

But the best bit was that he confirmed that the show would return for another series at some point in the future. This show is definitely recommended.
It's just been announced that this show is to return next year: https://parktheatre.co.uk/whats-on/whod ... ehearsed-3

Off to this this evening. Cheers for recommendation
Did you have Catherine Tate?

We had Eddie Nestor (The Real McCoy, Desmond's). He was pretty good, but I did giggle in the interval when most of the audience whipped out their phones to search up who he was.

Think they were more interested in their 'personality' than their physical attributes.

Halfway through The Gone on BBC4. Really enjoying it and NZ scenery looks as incredible as it always does.

Yes we had Catherine Tate, she was very good. The whole thing was great fun. Very silly humour (much more Airplane! style absurd nonsense than I expected) and I very much liked the way they occasionally proper stitch up the actor.

Was also quite funny in the Q&A when Catherine Tate, very unguarded, casually gave away some very private information and then ten minutes later panicked and was like “guys we all trust each other right? PLEASE don’t put that on social media cos it’ll be a massive pain in the arse if it gets out”
Hopefully everyone respected it

One thing that’d potentially open her up to stalkers and weirdos having quite easy access to her, and another thing that seemed like it could have inadvertantly spilled the beans on quite a big thing she’s got coming up work wise that she clearly didn’t have clearance to discuss yet

Not bad considering she volunteered both bits of information totally unprompted.

She seems like a genuinely very nice person

She's probably the best looking wife (if I was doing the Intimacy Week ranking test) but clearly has tabs on herself and is a bit of a bitch, despite being very much vulnerable to his complete BS. Weird combo.

Agree she’s top of the rankings.

Sort of feel bad for looking forward to the moment she realise she’s being f*cked over and manipulated

Not in the same liga as Alessandra though, obviously.

American Fiction

Absolutely fantastic satire of the woke grift industry, told from a black perspective. It is also a deeply human story that balances comedy with family tragedy. Recommended.

Finished The Gone (BBC4) last night. Really enjoyed it, ending slightly suspect although fair enough that it sets up a second season.
