Yay for Claudia! But this is a shit article. My takeaway is that she will host the spring/summer chat show slot that Graham gave up during the pandemic. I look forward to the chaos. 😂

will also add - yes, this is my personal crusade - that turning podcasts into videos implicitly asks women to once again make more effort than men, as the bar for "camera-ready" for one gender is obviously higher than for the other

Despite funding cuts and shuttered venues, homegrown music, TV, film and, yes, memes have dominated the global zeitgeist over the past 12 years. Now this culture must be future-proofed from the forces of globalisation

I've got to be honest, we may as well call it a night #DuvetKnowItsChristmas
I’m entering The Teenager as potential winner of #Duvetknowitschristmas

He’s had to move from his bedroom to the unconverted attic

Cardboard floor & headboard is a nice touch which I’m sure he appreciates

He think it looks like he’s living in a meth den

It’s come to my attention that this Christmas Eve marks a whole 13 years since the final episode of #Merlin. Ah, those long Saturday nights I spent hammering out daft recaps! I shall forget its disappointing series finale, and remember only its charm and commitment to primetime shirtlessness. 🗡️ 🐉

I do not give a fuck about inaccuracies (I have previously studied The Odyssey & The Iliad) - give this to me NOW.
The first trailer for Christopher Nolan’s #TheOdyssey has arrived.

The Oppenheimer director is back, with Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, and more taking on the Greek epic.
