They’re being called β€˜rioters’ but let’s be honest, they’re actually a bunch of boys and men setting stuff on fire. Imagine if it were hundreds of women out there torching things.

Stopping the street preaching would be great - every faith shouting at you on one street is overwhelming. I think agreed pitches for the music could be the way forward. It works on the tube and elevates the musicians.

Summer hols are approaching, assuming you're the main character, which fictional TV world offers the best potential of a holiday romance?

Thinking about running some mock writers’ rooms, just a one-day thing where six writers get together and try to build a new show from scratch. No pressure, just a way to see what it’s like to be in a room. Would anyone be up for that?

Marianne Jean-Baptiste is totally captivating in Hard Truths. Mike Leigh not wrapping anything up with a bow here, but I thought it was great. #HardTruths

The photo from the movie poster for Anora featuring the two main characters embracing warmly against the vibrant backdrop of Las Vegas. They both look happy, with neon lights and a lively cityscape adding a sense of romance and excitement to the scene.
