Just saw Spencer at #LFF and thought it was brilliant. Kristen Stewart was phenomenal, I'd be stunned if she wasn't at least nominated for Best Actress. Whole thing was brilliant though, much more thought-provoking than the Crown's portrayal of Diana and the royals at large

@BadWolfArchives Chris Chibnall was a great writer and RTD2 is the worst thing to ever happen to Doctor Who are the two that stand out as being Extremely Onlineโ„ข opinions ๐Ÿ‘€

@nintendolife I like the Splatoon 2 section, it's kind of fun to show friends what the game is all about and stuff, but it'd be nice if more games had these sections and they were more closely integrated with the gameplay

I just had the absolute thrill of talking to @officialnhaynes about Ancient Athens, the Iliad, and Pericles - coming soon to a newspaper near you!

I think #ItsASin really lays bare the horrors that can be unleashed if young gay people grow up feeling ashamed. That's why it should be required watching for every parent of an LGBTQ child, even in 2021

I just saw @ComeFromAwayUK and it was incredible. Probably the best thing I've ever seen on the London stage (beats Hamilton by miles.) Powerful, life-affirming and maybe life changing too. You MUST see this play. Beg, borrow or steal, just get a ticket! #WeAllComeFromAway

If you want celebrity ambassadors, they don't come much better than @Raj_Bisram - a true gent who leapt at the chance to support @RBLI . He's proud to give back after all he gained from his army career which he credits with help him get to where he is now.

I found it really interesting to speak to @TourettesAction vice-chairman Ed Palmer and ambassador Seren Jaye about the reality of living with Tourette's Syndrome on the back of Lewis Capaldi opening up about his experiences with the condition!

Not saying for a moment that they have been correct or justified in some of decision making over the past few days, but weigh up a bad few days against 20 years of supporting and championing LGBTQ talent, launching performers, carving out a space, and it feels overwhelmingly sad

It might SEEM baffling that the Transport Sec has extended Avanti West Coast's contract on trains between London and the North West/Scotland, but it actually makes total sense. You see, he simply doesn't give a shit about the North or the people who live and work there ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Every year without fail @patrickoo95 and I have always been to @BrasserieZedel on my birthday. This year, obviously, we weren't able to, so my lovely boyfriend made me my annual order of French onion soup and steak hachรฉ from the Zedel cookbook at home ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

@BadWolfArchives For me it does what a lot of more recent companion introductions failed to do, which is give Amy a hero-moment to explain why the Doctor would choose to keep travelling with her beyond the mystery of the crack. Clara, Ryan, Graham, Yaz, Dan, and now Ruby haven't had that imo

@Ethan_LMP Aliens Of London/World War 3 and Boomtown - only a few episodes apart but as a kid I remember thinking, like, "NO WAY THEY BROUGHT BACK MARGARET SLITHEEN!!!!" It was, in short, a gag

For anyone stuck on a cramped tube this morning, please know that there's another way. I walked to work through as many parks as I could for @TelegraphTravel and discovered what REALLY makes London one of the world's greatest cities ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒณ

"The extra B is for BYOBB." "What's that extra B for?" Honestly, in my view, is this the absolute funniest episode of The Simpsons ever and this gag is flawless
