Very happy to report that both series of Home are now back available on the Channel 4 website. Check it out, now more than ever.
Weird how we talk about Chameleon Actors. The whole point of chameleons is that they blend into the background. The best chameleon actors are Supporting Artists.
Jean-Paul Sartre died in 1980. Incredible to think he may have seen the film “Every Which Way But Loose”.
Not a United fan, but two words- Steve Holland.
Girlfriend accusing me of paying more attention to football than to her. Five back to back summer holidays to Rwanda and she’s still not happy.

Yes, you dreadful cunt, what are you saying now?
The one major change I’ve noticed at 50 is you spend a lot more time folding up cardboard coasters to stabilise restaurant table legs.
I love The Traitors. But I couldn’t care less about the challenges. I know we learn stuff, and the format needs action, there are shields etc but if it was just a 100k prize and a soap opera in the mansion, I wouldn’t miss the games.

Jenrick is such a fabulously Dickensian name. He’d be a thin, hollow-eyed man who stood in the corner of the workhouse. Never cruel, but never kind. He just watched, and seemed to enjoy. His habit would be to occasionally mop the edges of his mouth, like a man enjoying a satisfying meal.
Not enough Terrys in the game anymore.

Big fan of Stephen. He looks like a WW1 officer hoping for a good war, now in No Man’s Land in The Somme wondering whether a fluffy pink jumper was a good idea.
#traitorsIf I was a poet, I know what I’d be writing about right now. Flood the space with that shit.
He was the type of person who used the phrase “et al” in actual conversation. Edwards wanted to run a bypass through the fucker’s entire family tree.
Very much here for Jacob Bethell’s Baijan lilt.

“His presidency will be remembered for his bizarre performances, dancing and celebrating as his economy continued to fail. His brazen arrogance was breathtaking, joking once he was "bigger than Taylor Swift". “
Let’s play a game of Which President?
Hang on- could the Secret Traitor nominate themselves in the shortlist in a high-stakes treble bluff?

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Just watched an incredibly sad interview with Mandy Patinkin about Rob Reiner. But it’s the one word, “inconceivable” that gets you. Boy oh boy.

Rob Reiner leaves us with a Rosetta Stone of filmmaking. At least three of his movies are core texts of how you film comedy, romantic comedy and family storytelling to the best of cinema’s ability. All these also seemed to speak of an empath at the helm. A mensch. A regular genius. This is too sad.

Anyone remember the German word for turning on the TV when England are batting and it’s adverts and you think Oh God Someone’s Out but then you realise it’s just a drinks break?

No need to embarrass our guest, he’s wearing a suit….oh. This Freudian Cartoon of a man is beholden to shiny things like a medieval child with an iPhone. He beshits every situation he walks into.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Just saw a Joe Rogan clip in which he raves about a John Cleese party political broadcast for the Lib Dems in the 1980s, which has been put to a Hans Zimmer soundtrack. I forget the other three horsemen.

So. Televisions. We’re just running the family one off pretty strong WiFi these days. What brands handle WiFi well? We had a Samsung which was slow as all hell.
It’s taken me inexplicably long to watch Oppenheimer. A subject teetering on the edge of quantum is perfect for CN’s editorial zip zap time hops. Murphy is in total control of his visual self. Fantastic actor. Downey bonkers good. A Conspiracy thriller of people, and atoms.
My water bill just went up 60%. How the hell will people cope with this? They won’t, will they.

Amazon have removed the guns from their Bond posters, giving the tantalising impression that Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan think you’re a wanker.

Since when did the Oxford Union become some high seat of debate and learning? It’s a hilariously Americanised view perpetuated by US guest speakers who naively thought they were being inducted into Hogwarts. These are kids trying out ideas like they’re doing wheelies.
