Finally went to Titanic Belfast today. I'm not exaggerating when I say that it might be the best museum/attraction I've ever visited. Just incredible. Fascinating and had me in pieces by the end ❤️

Things I never knew existed (and kinda wish I still didn't) the BBC bought this but decided never to show it which was a lucky escape for us! The premise appears to be "what if we did The Love Boat but on a nuclear powered train?" Gotta love that the train had a disco though!

Silly #Letterboxd question. I get that the idea of reviewing TV on Letterboxd is contentious (and who has the time!) but reviewing short films is acceptable, right? (I reaise I'm way over thinking this!)

A le Carré question, I want to read the Smiley novels in order (I read Tinker Tailor years ago.) I've read A Call for the Dead and the next is A Murder of Quality, but I know it's a non espionage novel. Question is, is it worth reading? I'm just impatient to get to The Spy Who Came in from the Cold!
