They did very well with their casting of kids in general. But yes, Sadie Sink is excellent.

The Duffer Brothers very good at writing to the strengths of their cast too.

Aw c'mon, Smaug is good fun. Broadly cancels out whatever Stephen Fry was doing. I'd be with you on Part 3 . I can't watch any of the FB movies as the editing in the first one was so appalling it gave me some movie going version of PTSD.

I've advised friends with kids younger than ours to just avoid Apple full stop. It's a truly useless system of parental controls.

With the addition of an-actually-well-designed alarm clock from Pure, it's massively improved my mood first thing in the morning.

Ok, that is how I'd always interpreted it. But now I've been musing on it for 30 mins, I think it must mean asleep. Because the whole first half is about sleep:

No crib for a bed

Asleep in the hay

The baby awakes

One of them was a Kneehigh production of Tristan and Yseult. We saw it in the shadow of Rufford Abbey. Tremendous performance. I can still recall some of the imagery now.

As a starter for ten, some years back the RSC celebrated one of Shakespeare's anniversaries by putting on every one of his plays. But there were a number they didn't want to do, so fielded out.

Bits of it. Maternity leave was only common from the 1990s. Early years childcare is within the 21st century.

Ironically this wouldn't be an issue if only policy option appraisal were on the national curriculum.
