Finally ventured "Into The Woods" at the Bridge Theatre. Sondheim's fairytale fun blends mythical magic & musical maestro into a harmonic masterpiece! Every cast member has their own moment to shine, & they make it count. The eerie setting brought to life superbly by the (1/2)

In this age of countless genres and subgenres, it's worth remembering Ancient Greek drama only had three, and there's a reason one of them was comedy. Maz Evans is funnier than a fire at the house of your nemesis, and you can warm your hands on the flames for just 99p right now.
Can anyone from @bt_uk confirm if their number - 0330 1234 150 is a UK call centre, please? Xxx
Word of warning… if someone gifts you a @Deliveroo gift card and the shitty strip that you have to scratch to get the gift code takes the relevant writing off, they don’t care and won’t do anything to try to help. Aware it’s #FirstWorldProblems but was going to be a nice treat.
Went to the #WorldPremiere of #PoleToPole #disneyplusuk #natgeouk on Wednesday night and heard #WillSmith and all the experts speak so passionately about the show, which is great. Am on ep3 now (but had to look away in ep2 a lot because I’m scared of 🕷️ 😱 Xxx
The North Pole may have been his final destination, but there was so much more to discover on Will Smith's journey across the continents.
#PoleToPole with Will Smith is now streaming on @DisneyPlus and @hulu.
Question for @HeathrowAirport and #Lyon #StExuperyAeroport… would I get through security wearing these boots? The (tiny) studs are concealed and, to be honest, my house keys are longer and sharper and I’m allowed to carry those in my bag. Thanks. Xxx
Techie question: switching my email app from using Apple’s Mail app to Outlook. Works on mobile & desktop app BUT cannot access via webmail/browser. Log in with Microsoft acc details then forced to create @outlook.com acc I’ll never use. Can’t seem to add my own acc 😱 TIA Xxx

Today I turn 29 years old, which means it’s been 13 YEARS since I was on #EducatingYorkshire. I want to dedicate this post to all the amazing teachers who change a young person’s life for the better. I am privileged to have received the love throughout the years. Thank you
Thoroughly enjoyed #DexterResurrection Just gutted that #OriginalSin won’t be coming back. Both series should be able to co-exist side-by-side. Xxx

Educating Yorkshire is on Channel 4 tonight at 8pm. I'm thrilled to have been part of the team bringing this back - it's the same school from 12 years ago but the world is now totally different. Huge huge thank you to the brilliant team who worked on this

Yaaas! #EducatingYorkshire is back (on Sunday). #Channel4 @Channel4 8pm @MatthewCBurton is now the head teacher. Watch the show. It’s definitely not bubbles (this will makes sense after Sunday). Xxx
Forty years after it was released, I’ve finally persuaded my mum to sit and watch #backtothefuture with us! Xxx
Such a great series with an awesome cast. Still don’t understand why both #originalsin and #resurrection can’t co-exist. So many more stories to tell, right? Very disappointing. Xxx
#DexterOriginalSin Canceled Despite Season 2 Renewal

Finally, I got around to the theatrical phenomenon of the summer, which is @EvitaMusical @LondonPalladium. While I was somewhat sceptical in the lead up to the show, it's safe to say the reviews are correct. A stripped-back version which focuses on the real Argentine Rose (1/2)

#OnThisDay 1975: The Rocky Horror Picture Show was originally released in UK. Shortly before it’s release, Film Week caught up with Richard O'Brien, Tim Curry and director Jim Sharman who explained the process behind creating their “1970s version of The Wizard Of Oz.”
