Downton Abbey fans that are also horror fans should know that at least 3 major cast members did a lil production of the Turn of the Screw in 2009. It's absolutely wonderful! #filmsky #michelledockery #danstevens #suejohnston

Every day last year I drew a portrait of someone on their birthday using my non dominant left hand to help maintain brain function and to see how much I improved.

#GenerationZ #Channel4 3/5. Cool zombie horror show from #BenWheatley that certainly delivered on the gore stuff, but didn't quite deliver on the humour. Very nice to see acting veterans #SueJohnston, #RobertLyndsay and #AnitaDobson. The militia bit while good felt out of place.
