Strictly Come Dancing is back
Normal television service is resumed tomorrow night. After a summer of pretty shoddy Saturday night television, tomorrow the sequins, the bare toned torsos and the ‘ten from Len’ all return as Strictly Come Dancing returns to the screen. With the likes of Peter Andre, Ainsley Harriot, Kellie Bright and Jeremy Vine in the line-up, it promises to be a vintage year, with the beautiful and the hilarious meshing to make TV Gold. I can hardly wait. It seems Strictly fever is about to hit in some style. The Live show tickets will be on sale from 9am on Monday 28th September, returning for it’s 9th year, this seasons shows will…

Spending a weekend in Blackpool
Last weekend was a special one, as we spent Friday to Sunday in one of my favourite places, Blackpool. Blackpool is one of those places that you can visit happily all year around, but in all honesty, it really comes alive once September arrives, as this is when the illuminations are turned on, and the Lancashire seaside town becomes the Las Vegas of Northern England. This post is dedicated to some of the things you can do during a weekend in Blackpool, because, once again, we had a fabulous, family time there. The key to Blackpool is to stay somewhere central so that you can enjoy walking around the town.…

King Charles lll reigns supreme at the Birmingham Rep
If Shakespeare was alive in the 21st century, and was thinking of expanding his history plays, he would have come up with King Charles lll, which is currently playing at the Birmingham Rep. Billed as a future history play, this play has all those Shakespearean elements, a central character who loves a good sollilique, ghostly spectres and a cunning, manipulative royal Duchess to rival Lady Macbeth. King Charles lll is a powerful piece of theatre where the lines are blurred between good and bad and right and wrong. It is frankly unmissable. Veteran actor Robert Powell takes the lead as the new King Charles lll, finally ascending to the throne,…

Feel the Need for Speed with Top Gun at the Drive In
Top Gun is one of the most iconic films of the 1980s. I remember having the hugest of crushes on Tom Cruise in 1986, and creeping in to see what was a 15 certificate movie, with my also underage school mates, and coming out of the cinema just full of adoration for ‘Maverick’, crying over poor Goose, and singing ‘Take My Breath Away’ out loud. It is only apt that I should marry a man who’s favourite film is…wait for it…Top Gun. Yes folks, Pete can virtually quote the script word for word. So when an invitation appears for a front row space at the special Intu Merry Hill charity…
