You’ve only gone to bloody Barcelona, Jenna. It’s two and a half hours on bloody EasyJet.
You’re not trekking the Hindu Kush on borrowed mules.

I can recount times that I didn’t even get my finished cup of tea back down on the table before it was being swiped away to wash up.

I’m now convinced it is actually less film promotion, more a recruitment scheme for some sort of cult. It’s all so weird.
My algorithm has just shown me a clip of a journalist telling them they are making women be brave and courageous and helping us deal with grief. All quite, quite mad.

Absolutely right (and who likes every single episode of that? No one. I think it speaks very well of Havers and Dobson to kickstart it for almost no money (yes, yes, they’ve got enough, but…).
