My hobbies, in no particular order, are: culture, alienation, boredom and despair.
Three plays with a #Shakespeare theme this week:
- As You Like It (Harriet Walter, directed by Ralph Fiennes) in Bath
- Twelfth Night at the Globe
- Born With Teeth (Ncuti Gatwa as Marlowe and Edward Bluemel as Shakespeare) in the West End
Would recommend all three!

Just noticed Homicide: Life On The Street is being shown from ep. 1 on Sky Atlantic in the UK. It starts on 14 Feb at 0200, so one to set a series link for, but it’s well worth watching. One of the best US police drama series!

‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Reboot With Sarah Michelle Gellar in the Works at Hulu
The actress would recur on the potential series but not be its central focus.

Expecting Williams 2024 driver Franco Colapinto to get an Alpine #F1 role soon. Not as race driver, Jack Doohan safe for the start of the season. Beyond that, option will be there. Alpine clearly keen to make it possible. Here's what we know for now: www.the-race.com/formula-1/fr...

Went to a screening of Get Away starring (& written by) Nick Frost. Great fun & well worth seeing. I believe it’s coming to streaming (Shudder/Sky Cinema) this week. Nice to see a genuinely fun, sub-90 minute comedy-horror that doesn’t take itself too seriously!

Tracked the plays I’ve seen this year (including 3 NT Lives and 1 still to go) and by the end of December I’ll be up to 30. My target was 1 a month, so definitely achieved that!
I’d say my top 3 were:
- Giant
- Player Kings (Henry IV pts. 1 & 2)
- Punch
Now planning 2025! #Theatre

Since #FormulaE is back on a channel I can access, I’ll get back on board for season 11. I missed pretty much all of season 10 so which races are worth catching up on?
