The OQL weekend buzzer quiz was just great. So much work goes into it so thanks to all who made it happen.
I backed myself a bit more this buzzer quiz. Despite the odd howler or wimping I'm really pleased with my buzzes!
And to those I didn't get a chance to say hello to in-person, hello! 👋🏻

Celebrity Traitors was such a spectacular bit of event television. And while I was sceptical a celebrity version would work when it was first announced, it was spectacular.
I wonder what the impact of the Celebrity version will be on the main/"civilian" series

Because it’s back on the telly, here’s the piece I wrote about how The Traitors is edited, and what it tells us about storytelling.

An absolutely awesome show watching @the8bitbigband.bsky.social play The Video Game Songbook for the first time in the UK. Brilliantly performed and arranged and really uplifting.
Here's a bit of Bob-Omb Battlefield!

So I've finally got round to watching Better Man and by god it's brilliant.
It's hard to understate how huge Robbie's musical influence was when I was growing up. Hundreds of car journeys came flooding back when watching.

I'm also not an avid film watcher, and definitely some nostalgia driving some of these... But these are all fab films. 📽️
