The Choral review – Ralph Fiennes leads the choir in impressively unsentimental Alan Bennett fable
Genteel manners of first world war story about repressed passion delivered with surprising sexual candour

Lovely to see the film in front of an audience at #LIFF25 and no better venue than a packed Hyde Park Picturehouse. Beautifully presented on the night and very well received. Proud to see my name on screen. Thanks to everyone involved for a great event. #LIFF25 #TheChoral #WW1

House of Guinness review – James Norton’s pheromones positively sizzle off the screen

With smarts, heart and serious sex appeal, this fine drama from Peaky Blinders’ Steven Knight is an irresistible romp – like Succession, only over a booze empire. Knight has never made a better show than this

1/2 Takes a special kind of idiot to dump rubbish on a nature reserve. Just drove up the North Gare road and found it littered with rolls of scrap carpet. As much as I can get in the boot of my already full car has been retrieved but there's more. It'll have to come back to Leeds with me.

A glimpse of life without the NHS. I have just paid £350 for a videocall with an NHS consultant in London because my local hospital doesn't offer this particular treatment. Bill for me if I go ahead with the treatment itself? £22k. #NHS #postcodelottery
