Finally got round to watching the last Star Wars movie after really not wanting to be let down as badly as I was with 7 and 8. Well, it wasn’t as bad as Battlefield Earth. Let’s leave it there.

Spooks seems to have a higher death count for leading characters than Game of Thrones...

We finished Ashes to Ashes tonight. Now that’s a proper way to finish a programme.

Unfortunately I can only hit “like” once. One bazillionty interweb points to you, sir.
