In my teens, I had the biggest crush on Winona Ryder! No spoilers, but the first four episodes of Stranger Things 5 are amazing! I couldn’t love this series more… #StrangerThings #Netflix

I didn’t have a Labour government hollowing out Motability on my bingo card for 2025! But here we are.

Since joining the Motability scheme in 1989, it has been invaluable in improving my quality of life. I’ve been featured in magazines and quoted on marketing material at car dealerships across the UK. The recent mainstream media coverage surrounding so-called ‘free cars’ has created a moral panic!

Happy Doctor Who Day! #DoctorWho #Christmas

It's Doctor Who Day! My timey-wimey adventure began with watching the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) with my dad! A year ago, he had a pacemaker fitted. The device features remote monitoring and has enhanced his quality of life thanks to the NHS. That's worth celebrating. 🌈💙💙 #DoctorWho

Alien: Earth renewed for second season #Alien #AlienEarth #Hulu #DisneyPlus

The BBC, like any media organisation, has issues. However, I don’t want to live in a world without it! Local BBC Radio gave me my first break in the industry when it broadcast college documentaries, I co-produced with fellow A-Level students, in the early nineties.

Companion is The Stepford Wives meets M3GAN, starring Sophie Thatcher (Yellowjackets) and Jack Quaid (The Boys) in an AI satire for the touch screen generation. #CompanionMovie
