You matter to me: Saying goodbye to Q and Picard
I don’t write that often about Star Trek although it is my favourite television programme and I’ve watched it since I was about 2 years old. Last week I watched the last episode of the second series of Picard which … Continue reading
Downton Abbey: A New Era Film Review
I’ve been a fan of Downton Abbey since I saw the very first advert for a new ITV drama programme in the summer of 2010. 12 years later or about 18 years later going by the chronology of the show, … Continue reading

As with 2020 it’s been a weird year for film-goers. I only managed to go at all because Cineworld gave me a free annual pass. I definitely made the most of it and went to see dozens of films just … Continue reading
Coronavirus Diary 83 – The (lack of) joy at Christmas and discombobulated thoughts
I must admit that I don’t feel 1% Christmassy and that is 1% less than last year when at least I knew everyone else was to various degrees miserable and isolated but I’m 22.5 months now into being Excluded (15 … Continue reading

I’m on UK national Talk Radio tonight at 9.30pm
