Gave the new #TaylorSwift tracks a listen before work this morning. Thoughts on my first listen... Patient Zero Jazzy celtic opening instrumental. Vocally in kilt with the rest of the album. That instrumental sounds really like the tune to something I can't place right now... The talky bit offers lyrics to unpick on relistens. Cleveland! Christmassy. Folklore/Evermore-esque. The chorus is more Showgirl. Jolly. Taylor is loved up. Pink Clouding Light, a good listen, grower as it goes along in a singalong type way with the repeating "pink cloud". Babylon Vocally sounds old school Taylor which I always like. Storytelling again Folklore / Evermore-esque. I like this "You're using nostalgia as a weapon to hurt yourself." Oof. This is great. Overall, welcome additional tracks. #TSTLOASTheEncore

Series 2 of #Ludwig is a triumph.

Just watched the first episode of #TheWargame - despite its rogues’ gallery of a cast, I found it quite engaging. Plausible enough to be chilling - hopefully not too close to reality for all our sakes.

We are sad to hear that actor James Sloyan has died. He played 4 different characters on Star Trek: Admiral Alidar Jarok on Next Gen, Mora Pol on DS9, K'mtar/Alexander Rozhenko on Next Gen, and Ma'Bor Jetrel on Voyager. Our deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Emma, Johannes and Josh did a perfectly decent job. Few flubs but they’ll grow into their roles. #Strictly
