"All right, Mr. DeMille... I'm ready for my close-up" Happy #Caturday from Ruby

If Democracy Volunteers were concerned about behaviours in the polling stations, they should have raised those concerns with the polling station staff when they were at said stations rather than waiting until afterwards. It's a bit difficult to do anything about it after the fact.

A glorious thread

Today is the centenary of Kenneth Williams' birth. Someone I hold in high esteem. A brilliant raconteur, a gifted comedian. His "An Audience With..." is well worth a watch as are most of the Carry On... films (couple of dicey ones, especially towards the end of their run).

It's a hard life sometimes #Caturday (This is our other cat, Jasper; he is Ruby's brother)

Happy #Caturday from Ruby, currently observing me making lunch from her perch on top of the kitchen door.

Lovely pre-Valentine's night out with my husband at Six By Nico Cardiff, with their new menu Lost In Paris. Six tasty, well presented courses each with a twist on classic French gastronomy. The chicken course was probably my favourite, and the crème brulee-inspired dessert was sublime. Magnifique!

Saddened to hear of the passing of the incomparable Catherine O'Hara. Wonderful in Beetlejuice, superb in Home Alone, simply sublime in Schitt's Creek. Moira Rose is a gift of a role which she grabbed with both hands and ran. Thoughts are with her friends and family at this most difficult time.

What perfect album came out when you were 16? 1995 was a banging year for music :D

Superb end to Series 4 of The Traitors. No complaints from me about the outcome; the best people won.

One hell of a cliffhanger for tonight's episode of The Traitors. Tomorrow's finale is going to be intense!

Aside for The Traitors and other random shenanigans, one of my other major interests is cinema and especially the Oscars. Since 2003, I've tried to predict what films, directors and performances will be nominated. Ahead of today's announcement, here are my predictions: bit.ly/3YO1od3

It wasn't just the contestants' heads that were spinning after last night's episode of The Traitors. Utterly chaotic. I thought that the Traitors giving the double-vote dagger to a Faithful would have been a mistake. Couldn't have been more wrong. It was mayhem in the best possible way.

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinking across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once and perfectlye.

I love The Traitors but there are a few things that put me off applying for it: 1) My level of physical fitness is nowhere near good enough to handle some of the missions 2) The knowledge I have ABSOLUTELY NO control over the edit so have no clue how I'll be presented/come across until it airs

The Traitors Episode 9 made me cry. Not the murder (expected but still gutting) or the banishment (thought we might have another tie) but when they were talking about what they'd do with the money if they won. Jade's and Stephen's stories hit me right in the feels. Both phenomenal human beings.

Thoughts on The Traitors Episode 8: * A lucky guess by the Traitors at the beginning there * I'd have been first out the door at the cabin task- that was very freaky (great production design) * I spent far too long trying to figure out how deeply (or otherwise) the people in the graves were buried

The Traitors Episode 7. Wow. That was A LOT. Superb TV, as always. But I think the Traitors have made a mistake by going to murder and not seduce/recruit. They could do the latter and rightly state they couldn't murder (Faithful beginning with J) first as they didn't know if they had a shield.

Another cracking episode of The Traitors. And a couple of very interesting questions Matthew asked at the end there. But can he take the Traitors at their word? To be honest, they might not even be worth the paper they're written on...

Holy Moses, what an INTENSE episode of The Traitors (Episode 5). How on Earth things pan out from here, I've NO IDEA.

Six Feet Under Blackadder Goes Forth The Good Place Fleabag Schitt's Creek

Thoughts on The Traitors Ep. 4: * Not who I had pegged as the Secret Traitor (I thought Ellie) but a good choice nonetheless. * Ross/Ellie connection not a surprise, thanks to Internet sleuthing. * Format shake-up (round table before mission) worked well. * Task felt brutal but very in keeping.

Fully deChristmassed the flat, sorted out decorations and present-wrapping stuff into new storage containers, and stowed the tree into a new bag (the box it came in has very much given up the ghost). Might not seem much but I'm counting every little victory at the moment.

Well, The Traitors Series 4 is getting better and better.

You know what? I'll take that. :)

Thoroughly enjoyed the first episode of The Traitors. Utterly delightful. The Secret Traitor twist is a lovely way to put the cat among the pigeons. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out as the show progresses. Cracking music and Claudia Winkleman is just divine. Great way to start the year.

Happy New Year everyone. May 2026 give you what you need to thrive. If 2025 was good to you, may that continue. If it wasn't (I know it wasn't for many), may 2026 be better. The page is turned. The blank page of the year sits before us, like a field of pristine snow. Write something magnificent.

Search your first name and then "glamour shot" and post a photo.

Jumpin' Jack Flash when I was about 8 and RoboCop when I was about 9. Safe to say a lot in both films went right over my head ;)

Thoroughly enjoyed the Strictly Christmas special. Glittery, camp, lots of fun. Not gonna lie, teared up a bit throughout. The show is going to be very different without Tess and Claudia. Whoever takes on the roles have very big (and sparkly) shoes to fill.

BOB CRATCHIT: ♫ There's something in the wind today that's good for everyone. Yes, faith is in our hearts today, we're shining like the sun And everyone can feel it, the feeling's running deep After all, there's only one more sleep til Christmas. ♫

To all my friends and family, wherever you are in the world and however you spend it, may you have a very merry Christmas xx

This is called ‘Twenty Modern-Day Proverbs’.

I'm not planning on going to America anytime soon so I may as well say it: the Convicted Felon's statement on the tragic death of Rob Reiner and his wife - people with more empathy and humanity in their little fingers than that bloated carcass has in his whole body - is grotesque, classless and vile

I had a wonderful time at Porters Theatre Cardiff last week, reprising my role as Harold Thropp in Philip Meeks' fantastic one-man show Twinkle. Thank you to everyone who came to see it. The frock is packed away for the moment, but I'll be Twinkling again next year. Long Live The Widow!

and now a #RandomMovieGIF (as random as possible)

I have something of a habit of seeing an interesting opportunity, thinking "oh, go on then, I'll find out more" and - by various circumstances happening - ending up doing the thing I initially only intended on finding out more about. Such it is with my current (main) role.

What fictional creature/villain traumatized you as a child? Three come to mind: Zelda from Terrahawks (as Christian points out), the Count from Sesame Street, and this abomination. [If you don't know who this is, it's Noseybonk from Jigsaw. And if you DO know, I'm sorry for tonight's bad dreams]

On #DoctorWhoDay, I can highly recommend this superb thread by @thesimonc90.bsky.social using Simpsons images/GIFs to describe Doctor Who serials. Some absolutely inspired choices here!

Happy #DoctorWhoDay! 62 years of adventures in space and time. Long may it continue!

At this precise moment in time... The Mind Robber The Daemons The Five Doctors Remembrance Of The Daleks Battlefield Subject to change at any time ;)

If you see this post, do it too!! 🌟 Pronouns: he/him Height: 5ft 7ins Shoe: UK 10 (I have wide feet) Zodiac: Aries Smoke: No Tattoos: 1 - the Great Seal of Rassilon from Doctor Who on my left arm but am planning others Fave drinks: Coffee, cherry cola, occasionally whisk(e)y

Dear God, I hate watching and listening back to myself. It's been necessary, and a very worthwhile thing to do, but all I can see/hear is what I did wrong and what I'd change. I'm my own worst critic.

The Wicker Man is one of my all-time favourite movies and this poster for the 50th anniversary release is just sublime :)

Prep for Twinkle has stepped up a notch! Well, Harold is all about tradition, after all... See the show at Porter's Cardiff - Thursday 27th and Friday 28th November, show starts 6:30pm sharp. 18+ due to content. Tickets available from this link: bit.ly/47vPmKs #LongLiveTheWidow

@derekbgayle.bsky.social @dmuma.bsky.social @mattbr.bsky.social Fantastic @gimmickspod.bsky.social episode on the superb "Go Flip Yourself" (What We Do In The Shadows). Loved the deep dive into US reality TV history as well. Also loved the bonus ep - I need to see the alternate hypnosis scenes!

Stop scrolling and post two characters that bring you happiness.

Bingewatched The Traitors Ireland in 2 days. Enjoyed it massively. Siobhan McSweeney was inspired casting as host; she was superb. I liked the twists on some of the missions, especially the one that used Irish Gaelic. As usual, some of my faves were got rid of too early (either murdered or banished)
