Always nice to see a warmup act at a standup show that doesn't spend half the time saying "Bet you hate that there's a warmup"

Great show and a fine send-off to something that's been a great weekly listen for the past few years! Well worth braving the GWR network to get into London for.

So I finished Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy today. I wasn't sure going in, I'm a big fan of the stealth-based stuff in the previous games and while I wasn't against them doing more stuff in that world despite the way the ending to Requiem wrapped it up, I was particularly excited by "more combat"

Damn. Recently saw Clue for the first time and was blown away by how much Tim Curry gave to that role. Not that that's surprising, it's how he treated every role. A real loss

Second series of Ludwig is off to a smashing start. A great recurring role for Mark Bonnar in there, always a pleasure when he turns up in something.

I'm so glad Coyote Vs ACME is out. Very funny, a real shame about all the boardroom shenanigans that almost killed it.

One of the advantages of living on the outskirts of Bristol is that sometimes you see the balloons finding a nest they can sleep in for the night #BristolBalloonFest

Having thoroughly enjoyed Death at the White Hart last year, I've been looking forward to The Parkwood Murders and it does not disappoint! A cracking little mystery that had me second-guessing myself all the way to the denouement.

Just seen The Furious at the cinema. Now that's a film that does not let up the pace, wonderful stuff. Highly recommended if there's somewhere near you showing it (like @wshed.bsky.social here in Bristol)

Picked this up, mostly because the date lined up quite well with when I was watching the show and I've devoured it over the last few days. It's incredible to take a peak behind the curtains and see what went into something like that, highly recommended if you're of a similar vintage
