Merry #FabFools Friday, nits! As it’s the last before Crimble, we have no shame in making this week a repeat – dai.ly/x55f6ek
THE BEATLES CHRISTMAS CAROL is both the greatest thing made in the name of The Beatles since 1970, and the best version of the Scrooge story since 1843.
Harry Crumble! ✌🏽🃏🎶🎄

Enjoying the Cbeebies Robin Hood pantomime. But I will be miffed if they don't honour the original gests, and have Robin decapitate Guy of Gisborne and shoot the Sheriff through the heart at the end.

We’ll use this #FolkloreThursday to say that yes, we are aware of these low-energy Royal Mint folklore coins, but they have enough of our money already. We also saw this very weird choice of beasts on an English Heritage kiddie challenge… They should have consulted a copy of Tales of Britain! 🐉🏴🏴🏴

Why is it so literally impossible to make a good Robin Hood adaptation? Maid Marian & Her Merry Men remains the only half-decent version of the legend in about 70 years. And Alan Rickman's bits of Prince of Thieves. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
Robin Hood review – Sean Bean gifts us the most gloriously bad TV offering of the year
It ticks every box you could wish for in your olde worlde trash: Sean Bean as the Sheriff of Nottingham, faerie smut … and not a bad wig in sight! Hurrah!
