One of the things I've really enjoyed about my various review sections on this site is how they evolve. The films started out as a weekly thing, just me and have rolled through watching loads of movies with Mr C, to a reduced load now supplemented by black and white films I watch by myself. I've added a Games section that didn't exist before. I'm constantly debating what albums count …

Just randomly browing around YouTube and this incredible Roxette video popped up, celebrating 40 years since the release of their first single Neverending Love. Featuring the iconic duo Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle rendered as adorable puppets, the video is littered with Roxette references and easter eggs. I hadn't realised on first viewing that this was a fan video, created by someone just for the love of the band and …

It was entirely invevitable that after being obsessed with Crocodile Shoes, I'd have to give Auf Wiedersehen, Pet a look. People have recommended this to me before and I've just never got round to it, but the first two series are available to watch on ITV streaming, so it was worth a look. I LOVED IT. This mismatched group of lads, away from home and just trying to scrape together …

As I do most years, I have taken some time off work over the Wimbledon fortnight to be able to absorb as much tennis as possible, and boy what a first week of grass court action we have had. I paid quite a lot more attention to Wimbledon Qualifying this year as well, so was going into this week with plenty of tennis activity already in my mind, and lots …

I'm deep in watching Wimbledon at the moment, so TV has taken a back seat but before that I'd watched a few good things that are worth a mention. The Prime Video series The Girlfriend was an eye-opening experience. Reviews have been mixed for that show, but I really liked it. The concept is an over-protective mother of a young guy, and his new social climber girlfriend butting heads over …

I've got a bit of a backlog of blog posts to write but I didn't want to forget to make a note of the UK tour of The Shawshank Redemption. The play is an adaptation of the Stephen King short story and/or the movie and is just as tense and oppressive as both of those other mediums. Joe McFadden stars as Andy, and I'll be honest, I'd seen him in …
