It's an amazing, intense play in itself, with incredible coups de theatre from the sound and technical departments, but I doubt it would be the same if it was, say, Patricia Hodge or Ross Kemp in the role.

Felt quite emotional standing in the middle of a huge pond that I've been bringing dogs to splash about in for the last 30 years. Now after the summer it's this.

Having watched a lot of Portrait Artist Of The Year, I've learned that the way to talk posh is simply swap vowels around at random. E.G. "Look through these arches" becomes "Lack three these urches". Et voila, you're writing for the Telegraph. Yar wilcome!

I don't know if it's AI or just a glitch but what my phone's Magic Eraser does with Tower Bridge opening is rather pleasing. Filed under things expected to see in future album artwork.

Woke up haunted by a dream that Mambo had killed a young hawk but in so doing had had one eye clawed out. Relieved and delighted to find that dreams don't necessarily come true.

Keep your finger on the pause button to record a song from the new Bionics LP. It's my favourite so if you hate it, we'll, I dunno. CDs and full colour booklet are in the factory now.

Very happy to have seen these all for the first time. I do have a... sensitive question about the end of DIABOLIQUE but it would have to be in private. #Letterboxd #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

Speaking of fanzines, my favourite activity in the mid 90s was traipsing up to Mark Pawson's stall in Camden Market to pick up Beer Frame: The Journal of Inconspicuus Consumption. It celebrated everything: styptic pencils, pizza lid supports, tinned pork brains and of course the Brannock Device.

By the way, yesterday I bought this completely by accident (I was reaching for tahini which it must've been next to and wasn't really paying attention) and as it turns out it is.... PISTACHIO NUTELLA

On reflection, I think The Baader-Meinhof Complex was the most fun of this lot. (Memo to self: have more fun) #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Letterboxd

For thirty years I've been bringing dogs to splash about in the huge pond in Wimbledon Common. Today it looks like this. Apparently officials came to rescue all the fish before it dried out completely.

I don't want to say too much but the finale of Colin From Accounts was as perfectly balanced as that of Somebody Somewhere and had me in hysterics and floods. Incredible supporting cast throughout. Can't ask for more.

I was watching a video of a robot dog being taken out by a ram and a sheepdog. At some point I thought "This feels too perfect" and then the dog pees on dead robot and I thought "must be AI". I'm quite looking forward to creators' return to punk aesthetic/dirtiness in order to prove our humanity.

Still from a video of a dog peeing on an overturned robot while a ram looks on. All AI generated.

I also endorse Revivo.com for making very funky, refurbished footwear at a super discount without contributing to landfill. If anyone needs me I'll be climbing a tree like a goddam ninja.

Huge shoutout to artist Tschabalala Self and the Fourth Plinth Committee for the latest Trafalgar Square sculpture, Lady In Blue. It stands out a mile from way off and gives one a really groovy feeling.

Good luck to the Bristolian street artist whose stencils have a feel at least of being Ai generated. And Curse the damn thing for making me suspicious and cynical anyway.
