I think Shirley is my dream part actually. God, Willy Russell was so good wasn’t he? Come and give us something else, Willy.

Fucking gutted to hear about Pauline Collins. Shirley Valentine is a life affirming performance that stole my heart and so many others. Go watch that film and let it change your life.

Bring back Floppy Disks!

Obsessed with these awful Halloween rebrands this year. These are four of my favourites. Can’t stop thinking about Halloween log… more seasonal logs please!

Not necessarily saying it was any good, but ‘Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere’ is the most I’ve thought about a film in ages. So much mishandled but lots of interesting moments. Amazed that I can’t stop thinking about it.

I think there’s something incredibly chic and glamorous about a box of wine.

In my expert opinion, last night’s Traitors was one of the finest hours of television I’ve ever witnessed. #CelebrityTraitors

Saw this advert in the cinema and for a full four seconds I thought this was Gary Barlow advertising Pepsi.

Who the frig is Harlan Coben?!

Way too much Sydney Sweeney in my pre-film trailers right now. I could handle the excessive Pedro Pascal, but this is a step too far.

Why does eating a flapjack make me feel healthy?

God, this Vinted review has cut deep. 10/10 will buy again for more complimentary feedback!

I keep thinking about that time where people would wear Ramones t shirts and the criticism would be “bet you can’t name 5 Ramones songs”. Are we mere moments away from that Topman Rihanna tee being vintage and all the youths wearing it but not able to name any tracks from Loud?

The irony of me being more active the last few days with a foot injury than when I’m absolutely fine is not lost on me

In work today, a child (struggling to pronounce Rihanna) asked me who she was. It dawned on me that the youth don’t know who she is.

Some exciting news! #pleasethinkofthenarwhals

Today’s thought of the day

Note to self: don’t fall asleep with your phone in your hand (never been so glad to realise a message is SMS)

I really like Greta Gerwig but I’m only accepting another Narnia adaptation if it stars the Muppets.

I wasn’t sure but I’m all here for sending our best musical theatre talent again. I wasn’t sure on the song to start with, it’s a great direction that doesn’t go all the way, dropping most of its chorus en route. BUT these girls are going to deliver potentially the best vocals of the year!

This tends to pass me by. I really enjoy the thumping beat that carries us into the chorus. I guess, that’s where I sort of lose touch a bit. It feels filmic, so hopefully we’ve got cracking staging that will sell this song even further.

It’s very beautiful and I really respect the song, the for me it doesn’t get competitive until the final 50 seconds when it really starts to elevate. I tend to switch off until that part and have to keep myself listening out for it. It feels like poetry and I predict a strong jury vote is incoming.

This really does have it all. I’m totally sold by this and the only act I’d accept beating France in the end. The song is catchy, the routine is polished and the boys are full of charm. This is far more than a comedy song, this is a perfect package. My winners.

Whilst I don’t think this is Spain’s most polished presentation, I can’t help but get lured in by Melody and her enchanting presence. The silliness of the music is transformed by an anthemic chorus that ultimately won me over. DIVA! I hope it gets the same crowd love that Zorra got!
