RIP Martin Parr. Here are two of my favourite photos of all time. I get such a Proustian rush looking at them that I can hear the “fzzt” of a can of Quatro being opened.

Spooky advent day 6: Krampus, a traditional figure in Central and Eastern European folklore, is basically a terrifying horned bad santa, accompanying St Nicholas on his visits to children on the night before St Nicholas' Day (6th Dec) and punishing the bad ones by whipping them with birch twigs.

Net migration has fallen again to 204,000, the lowest level since 2021 and is forecast to continue falling over the coming years.

Not that you would know it from the endless coverage of Britain's supposed "immigration crisis"

I wrote and drew a magazine at the age of nine, which my headteacher refused to photocopy for me. Foiled by distribution, then and now.

Fritz Lang's Frau im Mond (Woman in The Moon, 1929)

This production photo is beautiful, and the film is important: first countdown, multi-stage rocket... A visionary sci-fi movie.
