On social media at the moment a debate is taking place regarding the sexual harassment and abuse of female comedians within the industry. How can such harassment be so prevalent and yet seem invisible to many of those (men) working in the industry? Just look around you: in the very same week Loose Women, a […]

Outlander – Monsters and Heroes

The Power of Love, Blossoming Relationships & How Physical Closeness is Much More than Just Sex This week’s episode is another engaging hour of telly, filled with action and relationships, the cornerstone of all the best Outlander episodes. First and foremost, there is the love between Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe), so strong […]

Lockdown Life of a London Singleton – Week 4

Food Parcels, Memes and Video Clips Without a shadow of a doubt, this week’s highlight was receiving a food parcel from one of my best mates. I’ve known this particular friend since 1982. Considering I still insist in pretending I am 38 that is quite an achievement. ‘It’s only a few tins,’ she assured me […]

Outlander – The Company We Keep

This week Outlander is well and truly back on track: Claire and Jamie are all loved up, more difficulties en route arrive, Jamie is in Highland Fling mode and the spectre of Stephen Bonnet casts a shadow at Fraser Ridge.

Outlander – If Not For Hope

Misdirection, Marriage Proposals and Making Up. Contains SPOILERS. This week’s episode opens with a sneaky bit of misdirection in the teaser before the opening credits when we are first led to believe that Roger (Richard Rankin) has headed back through the stones and is enjoying the advantages of 20th century indoor plumbing. It turns out […]

Outlander – The Birds and The Bees

This week’s episode pulls no punches both literally, after all it is Jamie doing the hitting, and emotionally, when Jamie finally meets his daughter. Contains SPOILERS. At its heart Outlander is all about love. It’s one of the main reasons why the books and TV series are so compelling. There is romantic love as depicted […]

Outlander – Common Ground

Settling Down, Surprises, Shock Endings – Outlander This Week is Back on Track. CONTAINS SPOILERS This week’s episode opens with Jamie (Sam Heughan) signing a deal with the British government to be the proud owner of 10,000 acres of land. All things considered, it’s a rather generous land grant though it remains to be seen […]

Outlander – America The Beautiful

The moral of this week’s episode would seem to be: no good deed goes unpunished, though saying that, unusually for Outlander, the opening episode of Season 4 is rather a slow burner that’s if you discount the first 10 minutes or so and the last 5, neither of which proves fortunate for either of Jamie’s […]
