Desperately hoping that the Good Omens buzz helps kick start a Blackpool Renaissance. I need more people to know about this show that has consumed a small part of my brain since I first saw it at university!
David in Recovery is…phenomenal. Sarah Parish blew my mind as well, I put this on because it popped up on YouTube for me and I was a mess by the end.
Heartbreaking story that treats all characters with respect and love, and that’s the key word here: love. I felt it, for better or worse. But never in sacrifice of loving yourself.
This costume was first spotted in The Pillars of the Earth on Sarah Parish as Regan Hamleigh. It was seen again in The Hollow Crown’s second season production of Richard III, where it was worn by Phoebe Fox as Anne. A band of lace was added around the collar, in addition to a fur hood in The Hollow Crown.

Synopses & Favourite Scenes & Poll
Call the Midwife
7x04
Trixie battles her demons and Sister Monica Joan faces losing her eyesight, while Sister Julienne assists a childless Pakistani woman after her husband is pressured to marry a second wife.
My gran is having her cataracts removed next month so SMJ's fears and apprehension felt very real. And the cosmonaut mentioned is also in the 'How's It Works' I am currently reading. Mad coincidence.
Loudermilk (with mum)
1x06 Lay, Lady, Lay
Cutter continues to make Tom's life a living hell, but no matter what he tries, Tom can't shake him. When he turns to Loudermilk for help, Tom quickly finds that he's on his own.
The Cutter and Tom storyline is throwing off the pacing of previous episodes. It just doesn't really fit in. The end reveal that Loudermilk's wife is still alive being a much more interesting narrative.
Six Nations: Full Contact
Ep 7 The Last Dance
All of the Scottish team are keen to be picked for the next round. But their coach has a hard choice to make as his best players are plagued by injury.
I love how calm the coaches are when giving motivational speeches. Straightforward and encouraging with no need to shout at their players. Especially compared to the captain speeches saying 'fuck' in every variation lol.
Merlin
2x05 Beauty and the Beast Part 1
The glamorous Lady Catrina arrives at Camelot with her servant Jonas. Gaius, who has met the real Catrina, and Merlin, who witnesses her true identity, are unable to convince bone-headed Uther of her real nature.
Me, feeding Sarah Parish maggot-infested rotten fruit: I’ll take care of you.
A gassy Sarah Parish: It’s rotten work.
Me, gagging at the toxic fart she just let rip: Not to me. Not if it’s you.
