I’m watching Run Away on Netflix & it’s cliched, the plot is dumb but it’s the night before ‘back to work’ so it’s pure escapist nonsense and I’m here for it.

When I worked in a west London charity shop I once found Sandi Toksvig’s credit card in a bag of clothes that had been donated. The person who left the bag reappeared fairly soon after to retrieve the card. Alas I didn’t get to meet Sandi herself.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

It’s the run up to Christmas when high streets should be buzzing. In the last two weeks I’ve seen so many small, independent businesses in my area announce they’re closing. The last time I saw this in such volume was the recession of 2008-10. Very sad.

I love Richard Osman’s House of Games, big fan for a while now, but I really wish the question writers could mix it up a bit. Less sport, less UK pop/TV, bit more international, bit more theatre. Just feels quite blokey sometimes.
