The Marvellous Mrs Maisel is ineed excellent. Agree about the scene stealing parents. Beautiful series, so many great performances.

With Simon Mayo leading a new classical music station and Chris Evans taking breakfast in new surroundings, what is the future for mainstream radio? Both of the afore mentioned big hitters are not available on FM […]

Snap to both of those (apart from walking round the airport). The apple airpods are great for the office and really good as a hands free telephone. Great clarity, really comfortable.

I really enjoyed it although FPO hated it. All three leads were fantastic I thought and I fully expect all three to feature in nominations various over the next few months.

Really enjoyed catching up with Doctor Who last night. A nicely paced episode that gave Jodie Whittaker something to bounce off of. The manic energy of her character has occasionally been at odds with some of the […]

This one really has […]
