Nobody really shares their Wordle efforts any more, but there’s a real sense of pride when the WordleBot can’t solve it and you did.

Obligatory programme-in-front-of-stage shot (don’t worry, that bank of seats is now filling up nicely) #LittleShopOfHorrors

★★ for Higher Ups, Old Red Lion: “in creating a business environment that is so distorted and unbelievable… any possibility of satirising appalling workplace behaviour disappears completely.“

Catching up again with THE FALL GUY (currently on Sky Cinema), which I loved at the cinema and which holds up really well on repeated viewings. The kind of romantic action comedy thriller that we’re repeatedly told Hollywood doesn’t make any more, single-handedly showing why it should never stop.

At the interval of the RSC Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Barbican (day seats ftw) which I am enjoying v v much.

The title of Eddie Murphy’s sequel is ruder than I remember…

I was going to do shit today, but #BlackDoves on @netflixuk.bsky.social had other ideas. Compelling, bloody (and bloody genius) spy capers from the pen of @joebarton.bsky.social, who continues to write compelling gay characters better than some gay writers

“The real stars of are the dance numbers, beautifully choreographed by Ellen Kane… We are used to musicals where characters move between speaking and singing at the drop of a hat; Ballet Shoes achieves the same fluidity with dance instead.” ★★★★ by me for @thereviewshub.bsky.social

Well, someone only went and got a “best of the worst” consolation prize… #TaskmasterLiveExperience

#NowWatching Paddington in Peru…

Watching INTERIOR CHINATOWN, a postmodern crime comedy-drama where the background character in a police procedural decides he wants to be a main character. Deconstructions of genre tropes sit alongside quirky family dynamics and a critique of representation. Great fun (10 eps, Disney+)

This is the shot, pushing _through_ the mirror (I know how it’s done but even then it’s still impressive)

Lots of reasons to hate the Daily Mail, of course, but “thinks that 25-year-old West End musical is an adaptation of a film, rather than the other way around,” is a new one.
