Saw new film Nuremberg last night. Award-worthy film which, sadly and scarily, resonates today. L to R stars Leo Woodall, Michael Shannon, Rami Malek and writer/ director James Vanderbilt.

Just read a super book, Glitterballs, by @michelehowarth.com . Beautifully written, funny, yet at times dark story of a debauched pop star. Definitely a tale for our times.

RIP Terence Stamp, a fine actor and lovely down-to-Earth man. Years ago, I interviewed him for Talk Radio UK, and ended up spending a lovely afternoon with Terence, his Mum and Auntie.

At a time when the world is going wibble, I can't recommend this book highly enough. We need positivity to get through every day. I'd recommend Feel Good Now even if it wasn't written by Belinda Alexander and my good friend Kelly Morton.
