In the late 70's and 80's I was really bored seeing the same, over repeated films during Christmas. It is now 2025 and the same stuff is still being repeated from way back then!

R3 t the rescue and music streaming for me.... along with a good book or three.

Boxing day hunts to be thing of the past with trail hunting set to be banned

The UK Government is unlikely to see most of the £148m it is owed by a faulty PPE supplier linked to Baroness Michelle Mone after the company was wound up.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored six goals in his last five games for Leeds United, taking his tally up to seven in the Premier League this season.
