Tuesday, Tuesday. Up here in Scotland (specifically Edinburgh) it's the last day of the school holidays. To any other parents north of the border - we've done it, folks. The end is in sight. Looking forward to tomorrow's hectic early morning followed by a day of bliss.

Anyway, TV and Tunes Tuesday! Whatcha watching and listening to? Recommendations for movies, TV shows and music please!

Personally I have the last episode of Strange New Worlds, which I'm saving for tomorrow lunchtime and then it's sayonara Paramount +. We've also just finished the reboot of Quantum Leap, which was cheesy but fun.

Music wise. Well, I'm a gen-xer so I've been listening to the remasters of the Lush albums. Long live shoegaze, the only correct style of dancing.

TV - pleased by the return of Annika: Scotland-based procedural/noir with some great scenery and touches of dark humour. Otherwise Good Omens, The Righteous Gemstones, What We Do in the Shadows & Only Murders in the Building all continue to entertain.

Film - a couple of recent-ish ones that I have enjoyed lately are The Fence (2022): well done '80s Bristol tale which captured the bleakness of the time well and You Hurt My Feelings (2023), a thoughtful, well observed relationship piece from Nicole Holofcener very much in the same milieu as a lot of Woody Allen's films.

Ah, I really enjoyed the first season of Annika. Currently using the original radio series on BBC sounds to fall asleep to! Something about Nicola Walker's voice... But sadly, no access to Alibi so I'll have to wait ☹️

I really liked You Hurt My Feelings (2023) too. I only watched it after hearing Nicole Holofcener's interview on The Watch but I'm glad I did. Turns out there's a lot of fun stuff to say, after someone says the unsayable.
