This year we’ve been upgraded to “The Annexe of Estrangement”.
Apart from a model shark on the bed and an excess of gym equipment, all is looking good.
But what the hell is going on with the pumpkin summoning charm on the other side of the room? And who needs 5 freezers?

Off to see a 45th anniversary screening of The Shining at the IMAX with Katherina Kubrick and the twins from the film (that sounds like we’re going as a group - we’re not, they’re special guests and I’m just going). Anyway spotted this fella lurking in a subway round the corner. Just coincidence?

In this year's festive romcom I play a hunky small-town investigative journalist who wins the heart of a city high-flier career girl on her return to her quiet home town (Soho) for the holidays, and convinces her of the charms of the slower satirical life. And then introduces her to his husband.

🎁 Please forget the mug, and ditch the novelty tat which ends up in landfill. This year, put your money where the music is. A £10 Secret Santa budget is a gig ticket. A real night out, and an experience that somebody might not have had.

Clearing out old telly stuff. Yes. You can shop with the stars on 1 December 1998. Such a weird list of ‘stars’. And yes. Uri Geller where you’d expect him.
