The Joy of Book Signing
Developing a readership is not easy. I used to think all I needed to do to be a full-time writer was write books. How very foolish I was! In this day and age of social media, one can spend an inordinate amount of time developing ads, memes, blogs, and give-a-ways—so much so, that little time is left for actually developing, writing, and editing one's novels. At least, this is how I often feel—a victim of our technological age.
Make no mistake; I am grateful that through social media I can reach out to so many devoted and potential readers throughout the globe—virtually speaking, of course. Yet what I truly love is the one-on-one connections I make when I take the time and energy to meet my readers at bookstore signings. Whether they be friends, family members, or strangers, sharing with these folks who come out of their comfortable homes to meet not only with me but with other Gwen Overland Readers at a nearby bookstore is at least for me a real treat.
My most recent book signing was at Village Books and Paper Dreams in the town of Lynden, Washington. This northwest area of the state is the setting of my Salmon Run novels, and what a beautiful location it is. Dairy farms, tulip fields, Dutch bakeries, and the Puget Sound combine to make a rich palette from which to draw my small town stories. I began the series by fictionalizing the people and the town of Salmon Run, though most of my readers know Lynden itself was my true inspiration. And many of those people like the inhabitants of Salmon Run live along the I-5 corridor of Washington and Oregon, making it fairly easy for them to attend one of my book signings.
Meeting the people face-to-face who have read or are reading my books makes the hassle of bookstore touring worth everything. To put a face, a voice, and a smile to a fan who has either responded to my Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook pages brings in the human element in what often feels like a solitary pursuit or merely a business. So … if you are a reader and have the chance to attend one of your favorite author's bookstore signings, do so. You won't regret it, and you'll make some writer a very happy human being.

TRAVEL BEAUTY HAUL: Thai Pharmacy Beauty Essentials
Let me tell you, Thai Pharmacies are amazing! The Thai culture promotes a holistic view of beauty so their pharmacies are packed with tons of herbal beauty and wellness products of all sorts. I was't going to leave Thailand without a few different analgesic oils and balms, which are widely used in Thailand and popular for both Muay Thai martial arts and Thai massage recovery. I also tried out some cult favorite beauty items and could not resist picking up herbal toothpaste and powders. Its not uncommon for Thai drug stores to have aisles of pure coconut oils and face masks from powder, clay, and sheet styles including the famous snail masks (which I did not try)!
You can find the products below at most Thai pharmacies.
Facy 2in1 Whitening C Cold Scrub Mud Mask:
Made with enriched Seaweed extract & Vitamin C it goes on as a mask, and then is used as a natural exfoliating scrub when washing off to smooth skin texture and tone the skin. The Vitamin C and seaweed extract are used to brighten skin complexion.
Srichand Tanaka Gold Powder Mask:
This mask by a cult beauty brand from Bangkok is great for "combination" or oily or acne-prone skin. You mix the powder with water and apply to the face. Let it settle for 30 minutes and rinse clean.
Golden Cup Oil:
A blend of Camphor, Menthol, Peppermint Oil used for nasal congestion, headaches, muscular pain and insect bites is used topically or as a nasal inhaler. It's an instant mood booster.
Siang Pure Oil Original Formula:
"Roll and Rub" formula with a ball tip, this oil is a traditional combination of menthol, cinnamon oil and peppermint oil. Its so great for headaches, dizziness, and discomfort... just roll it on your temples and take a deep breath in. It's too easy not to use all of the time.
Siang Pure Yellow Balm Massage Ointment:
A staple in Thailand! Rub this over achy muscles, sprains and bruises for relief of "second day soreness." Amazing for stiff joints.
Viset Niyom Traditional Tooth Powder:
Just mix with water! Used as a paste and to treat sore gums when used in massaging the gums. It is used to brighten teeth and help reduce coffee stains. This herbal tooth powder also doubles as a face mask to clear spots and blemishes. Who doesn't love multi-tasking products?!
Tepthai Concentrated Herbal Toothpaste in Original:
Preservative free, natural, herbal toothpaste in a concentrated formula... so a little goes a long way for bad breath and healthy, bright teeth. Made with a blend of essential oils and aloe vera extract, it feels really good to be clean.
Takabb Throat Relief Anti-cough Herbal Pill:
I ended up getting a bit of a cold and nasal congestion while in Thailand, and picked these herbal cough pills up by a trusted Thai home-remedy brand. I was surprised to see that they are little bronze colored balls that smell VERY herbal. These distinctive looking things help fight cough, refresh the breath and dissolve phlegm. Plus, the packaging is super convenient to travel with.

The Washington Department of Early Learning (DEL) has published the Early Learning and Development Guidelines (guidelines) for children from birth through third grade. The guidelines replace the Early Learning and Development Benchmarks, which were first created in 2005 to outline what children know and are able to do at different stages of their development.
DEL, the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) and Thrive by Five Washington led the recent revision of the guidelines in close partnership with a 51-member work group that included statewide representatives from Head Start, the Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP), parents, Tribes, child care providers, special needs experts, K-12 staff and our state's ethnic commissions.
The guidelines are a resource for child care providers and families to help recognize what children ages birth through third grade should be doing and learning at different stages of their development. The guidelines have pages for each age group to use as a quick reference and are written in a clear, easy-to-understand way.
Child care center rules comment period extended until April 30
DEL has extended the comment period for input on existing child care center WAC 170-295. We are asking for your input on the current rules and suggestions for changes. Read more at: http://www.del.wa.gov/laws/development/center.aspx

Ruth Davidson's speech
Ruth Davidson, the Scottish Conservative leader, is speaking now.
Here is Davidson's amendment.
As an amendment to motion S5M-04710 in the name of Nicola Sturgeon (Scotland's Choice), leave out from "acknowledges" to end and insert "declines the Scottish Government's proposal for a referendum on independence before April 2019; believes that it would be unfair to ask this question while the process of leaving the EU is still ongoing and while the Scottish Government has failed to set out its own position on independence; considers that no referendum should take place while there is no public or political consent for one, and urges the Scottish Government to focus its efforts on working with the UK Government to secure the best possible new relationship with the EU."
She says the SNP is prioritising independence, not education.
She quotes Nicola Sturgeon saying on various occasions in the past she was opposed to a second referendum.
Sturgeon says she should consider what was in the SNP's referendum.
Davidson says she is coming to that.
She quotes Sturgeon saying there would be no referendum if support for independence did not increase.
The latest polling shows it has not increased, she says.
Sturgeon says there is a fundamental decision to be taken. It can only be made by the people, she says.
And that's it. Her speech is over.
Sturgeon says the SNP will set out its plans for independence, so people can make an informed choice.
She says that is in contrast to Brexit, where people were not told what it would involve, and where nine months later people still do not know what it will be like.
Sturgeon challenges UK government to set out its alternative timetable for a second referendum
Sturgeon says the Scottish parliament should take the decision over the timing of the referendum.
She says the latest time for a referendum should be around the time the UK leaves, in the spring of 2019.
If the UK government disagrees, it should set out an alternative timescale, she says. She says she is prepared to discuss an alternative.
- Sturgeon challenges UK government to set out its alternative timetable for a second referendum.
Sturgeon says she understands why many Scots don't want another referendum.
But the alternative is to drift through the next two years, hoping for the best, but fearing for the worst.
Scotland would have to accept a hard Brexit, she says.
And Scotland would not then have the option to reject that.
Sturgeon says the UK government rejected her compromise plan for the single market.
And it has also refused to commit to giving repatriated powers from Brussels to Scotland, she says.
She says the Tories could be in power in Westminster until 2030.
So Scotland should decide what future it wants, she says.
Nicola Sturgeon's speech
Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland's first minister, is opening the debate.
She says that she offered the UK government a compromise plan that would keep Scotland in the single market after Brexit. The UK government refused that, she says.
She says the SNP's manifesto said a second referendum would be justified if there was a material change in circumstances. Brexit qualifies, she says.
She says she did not immediately call for a second referendum after the Brexit vote on 23 June.
Ruth Davidson, the Scottish Conservative leader, says she heard Sturgeon on the radio that morning saying she had asked civil servants to draw up legislation.
Sturgeon says she said at the time she would seek a compromise first.
MSPs debate call for second independence referendum
The Scottish parliament is now debating Nicola Sturgeon's call for a second independence referendum.
Here is the motion.
That the parliament acknowledges the sovereign right of the Scottish people to determine the form of government best suited to their needs and therefore mandates the Scottish government to take forward discussions with the UK government on the details of an order under section 30 of the Scotland Act 1998 to ensure that the Scottish parliament can legislate for a referendum to be held that will give the people of Scotland a choice over the future direction and governance of their country at a time, and with a question and franchise, determined by the Scottish parliament, which would most appropriately be between the autumn of 2018, when there is clarity over the outcome of the Brexit negotiations, and around the point at which the UK leaves the EU in spring 2019.
Urgent question on Global Laundromat revelations - Verdict
And here is a verdict on the UQ from my colleagues Luke Harding and Nick Hopkins.
Labour politicians were clearly unimpressed by assurances from Simon Kirby that the government has got a grip on money laundering. It hasn't. Today's Guardian Laundromat story shows how profound the problem is: $740m flowed through UK banks and nobody noticed.
Kirby said that the National Crime Agency (NCA) was investigating. But when we went to see the NCA last week it admitted Moscow was refusing to cooperate. Without active help from Russian authorities it's difficult to see how detectives can arrest money launderers or stop similar schemes in future.
For the moment, then, it's easy for anyone to set up a UK limited company and use it for criminal purposes. This point was made by the SNP's Roger Mullin who noted – correctly – that limited partnerships were at the heart of the Laundromat scandal. One of the companies we found, Seabon Limited, claimed its assets were £1. In fact, it was involved in transactions worth $9bn.
The most intriguing question came from Labour's Ben Bradshaw, who wanted to know if any of the Laundromat billions had gone to fund the Trump campaign or Leave.EU. We don't know the answer. But there are clear signs that some of the money has gone to support pro-Kremlin thinktanks and parties across Europe.
Urgent question on Global Laundromat revelations - Summary
Recently it was revealed that Simon Kirby, the City minister, had been stripped of his responsibility for Brexit-related matters. A City source told the Sun that Kirby was someone with "no knowledge, no experience and no apparent interest in the City". Kirby did not do much to restore his reputation with his response to today's UQ. He floundered badly, prompting unusually harsh criticism from the oppositon.
Here are the key points.
- Labour accused the government of "complacency and inaction" over money-laundering. John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor, told MPs after hearing Kirby's opening statement:
I don't believe the minister recognises the immense gravity of the situation we are facing and that statement reflected, I believe, a complacency on behalf of the government itself ... Money-laundering through London and elsewhere threatens the financial stability of our economy ... It obvious from today's revelations that the current arrangements are not working. There is widespread, organised and sophisticated criminal activity ... Urgent action is needed by the government to protect the standing of our finance sector and indeed protect our economy. Complacency and inaction is not good enough.
Later other Labour MPs criticised Kirby very strongly. John Mann said he gave the impression of being over-promoted. (See 12.53pm.) Angela Eagle said he was "appallingly complacent". (See 1.04pm.) Rushanara Ali also said his performance was "appalling". (See 1.08pm.)
- McDonnell called for an inquiry into what measures might be needed to strengthen money-laundering laws.
- Kirby said the latest Guardian allegations would be investigated.
The Financial Conduct Authority and the National Crime Agency take any such allegations seriously and will investigate closely whether recent information from the Guardian newspaper regarding money laundering from Russia, or indeed any other media source, would allow the progression of an investigation.
- He claimed the government was doing "more than any other" to tackle money-laundering.
This government already does more than any other to tackle the global threat of money-laundering. Since 2010 we have already seized £1.bn in illegal funds and put hundreds of millions more beyond the reach of criminals. We have set up the Panama Papers taskforce, we have hosted the global anti-corruption summit last year and now we are preparing the most significant changes to our anti money-laundering and terrorist finances regime in over a decade ... We are determined to make the UK the most difficult place in the world for international crime networks to channel their finances and we won't relent in our efforts to do that.

Morgan (18) scored 110 not out off 92 balls in a century that included five sixes and 11 fours.
The WA teenager was called up to the Australian Under 19s side after representing WA at the Under 19 National Championships.
Australia Under-19s coach David Fitzgerald said that it was pleasing to see Morgan perform strongly in the quad series and his attitude and work ethic were noticed by Cricket Australia staff on that tour, who provided opportunities to captain Australia at Under-19 level.
'He is a powerful and dynamic top order batsman, who is boundary focused, but is developing a tighter defence to add to his scoring ability,' he said.
Mr Fitzgerald also noted that Morgan had continued his strong form back in Perth, scoring 108 for WA in his debut in the Toyota Futures League last week.
'Jaron has worked very hard on his fitness and professionalism over the past six months and needs to continue to improve in these areas and his general cricket skills to put his hand up for Australian selection in the Under 19 World Cup team in February,' Mr Fitzgerald said.

10 of my favorite pop culture antagonists (and why they are)
I've been riling a lot on poor antagonists so far, in 2018. It is my most sincere belief that they are the driving force behind most (and perhaps any) story. Andthey don't get the respect or reverence they deserve. But today I'm going to help you. Here are 10 antagonists I'm particularly fond of and why I believe they enhance the stories they're in. As usual, don't hesitate to tell me in the comments which ones are yours and why you think they should be on this list.
Frank Booth - Blue Velvet
Baby wants to fuuuuck. Frank Booth is a great antagonist because he seems like the only person who truly know what's going on in Blue Velvet. Hell, it might be all happening inside his tormented mind. He's not simply evil, he represents a vision of America without any rules of morals that law-abiding citizens of Norman Rockwell's version of American fear. He's the personification of a conservative ideological battle.
Anton Chigurh - No Country for Old Men
Chigurh is great because he is mysterious. What he wants is clear (retrieving the stolen money from a drug deal) and not at the same time. He's taking way too much pleasure at his job in order to be an ordinary mob enforcer. I've always interpreted him as a metaphor for death, which keeps coming and coming at you while you're trying to make good for yourself. Anton Chigurh is a grim reaper for a pulp novel and that's what makes him great. He gives biblical undertones to a gangster movie.
Boyd Crowder - Justified
A personal favorite of mine. Not that many people watched Justified because it was a low-rent show on FX, but Boyd Crowder makes it worth your time alone. What makes him great is that he's as interesting and multidimensional as the protagonist of the show Raylan Givens. He's a side of his personality, a path he could've taken if his father hadn't been a two bits criminal. Both the characters and the actors playing them have great chemistry together and it feels weird watching two men who could've been great friends square off.
Hans Gruber - Die Hard
Here's an underrated one. The first Die Hard is the best Die Hard becase of Hans Gruber. Not only he's the complete anthithesis of John McClane (slick, organized, well-dressed, in control), but he's also what McClane's wife wanted in her new boyfriend Ellis but didn't get (a stone cold businessman). Gruber is not just a thief, he's a reflection of who the McClanes aren't, but secretly wish for. They're fighting their shortcomings in Hans as much as they're fighting a criminal.
The Joker - Batman
There is a lot of analysis already written on why Heath Ledger's Joker is great. Simply put, he wouldn't exist without Batman's violent tactics against Gotham's criminals. When a city is too "clean" and people are afraid to not follow the rules, there's this autoimmune reaction that's created. A criminal so crazy and hellbent on chaos, he becomes unpredictable and impossible to control. As the Joker told Batman himself in the movie: "You complete me."
Vince McMahon - WWE
Sometimes, the simplest characters work out if you play them hard enough. Vince McMahon (the character) is a glorified circus clown, but he's the king of them all. He really is a juxtaposition of the evil corporate CEO and a dorky, insecure father, but he's really the commanding structure from who everybody takes their cues. The WWE has played the corporation angle for close to two decades now and it has never not worked.
Sawyer - Lost
Lost is one of the best shows there ever was if you don't count the silly plot. Its characters are so complex and always evolving, they were a pleasure to follow for a whopping 120 episodes. Nobody embodied J.J Abrams and Damian Lindelof's writing philosophy better than Sawyer, though. The mysterious swindler with trust issues slowly transferred from antagonist to protagonist over the years as the two writers kept peeling layers off his complex personality. Of all the characters on the two, he was perhaps the only one who found redemption.
Anakin Skywalker - Star Wars
We need to talk about the most famous villain there is in pop culture. Sure, Darth Vader is an icon of evil that doesn't represent much more than the imperialist drive to conquer and assimilate. But what makes him so successful is that he represent that drive in all of us. He is the person we're afraid to become: violent and heartless. Darth Vader has a complex dynamic to his downfall. He was given power he couldn't responsibly handle and that's what makes him so compelling.
Marlo Stanfield - The Wire
What is Oliver Twist and Adolf Hitler were the same person? This is the conflict at the heart of The Wire's Marlo Stanfield, that makes him interesting. If a kid raised on the streets found success in violence and dictatorial political scheming, would you think he's horrible or the kind of the jungle? Marlo is the strongest character whenever he's on screen: he's smart, unwavering, he has clarity of purpose. It's hard not to root for him in the ongoing chaos of the street of Baltimore.
Walter White - Breaking Bad
The most talked about antagonist in recent years. Is he an antagonist or is he just a perverse protagonist who's finding success and fulfillment in all the wrong places? What makes Walter White interesting is that his personal success is at odds with the life he's built for himself (notably, with his family). Should one pursue success at the cost of other's happiness? Well, I'm going to ask you this: is Walter White doing anything than any businessman wouldn't do... aside from... you know, killing people?

He tells of his impressions during the early stages of his training in England and later during the more advanced progress in Canada.

Pitso Mosimane: PSL title is Mamelodi Sundowns' to lose
Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Pitso Mosimane has hit out at Bidvest Wits mentor Gavin Hunt for suggesting that his side could potentially decide who will win the Premier Soccer League (PSL) title this season.
The Students, who are the defending league champions, have failed to replicate their form of last season, and rather than challenging for league honours this season, they are currently embroiled in a relegation dogfight.
However, with games against several of the title chasing pack which include sides such as Orlando Pirates, Cape Town City and Mamelodi Sundowns, Hunt previously stated that his side could be potential 'kingmakers'.
Editors' Picks
Nonetheless, the Sundowns coach has taken exception to his opposite number's utterances, revealing that the league title is the Brazilians' to lose.
"The league is ours to lose," Mosimane was quoted as saying by The Star.
"We need to try and maintain our position. We have to manage everyone around us. We had to manage Chiefs and Cape Town City. Free State Stars are closer to us and they are our next game. We have to manage them, but while you manage those, there are people who are coming up." He explained.
"Suddenly Free State Stars are second on the log. Suddenly Orlando Pirates are second on the log. Suddenly Chiefs are second on the log. You've got to be smart and box cleverly," he added.
The 53-year-old mentor further states that Hunt should instead concentrate on ensuring that Wits avoid relegation.
"You also have those who are at the bottom of the log, like Wits, who can only destabilise teams (fighting for the championship) a little bit, but they are not doing it for us. Nobody has the key to the league. Don't listen to people [who] say, 'I will determine who will win the league'," he said.
"No! You are fighting to avoid relegation, my friend. Sort your team out. If you don't win you are going down. At this point in time, nobody is doing anyone [any] favours. Everyone has something that they are fighting for," he expressed.

C O N F I D E N T I A L VILNIUS 000095 E.O. 12958: DECL: 02/17/2014 TAGS: ECON EFIN LH SUBJECT: ECONOMY SLOWING, BUT STIMULUS PLAN ON THE WAY REF: A. 2007 VILNIUS 1045 ¶B. 2007 VILNIUS 993 Classified By: Ambassador John A. Cloud for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d). SUMMARY ------- ¶1. (SBU) Lithuania's economy is clearly slowing, and the GOL's poor job explaining the necessity of its austerity plan has aggravated the situation. The austerity plan, designed to address the budget deficit left by the previous government, was not clearly explained and implemented so quickly that business and the tax authorities alike had little time to respond. The GOL appears intent not to repeat the same mistake with its stimulus plan, discussing it at a roundtable with business representatives and economic analysts and intending to implement the plan as soon as possible. In addition, latest figures show a declining current account deficit and an increase in bank deposits in December. UNEMPLOYMENT UP, LIQUIDITY DOWN ------------------------------- ¶2. (U) The pace of layoff announcements has increased in ¶2009. The Lithuanian Labor Exchange, an agency that provides aid to job seekers, reported January 23 that 142,000 people were looking for jobs in Lithuania. This is 20,000 more than on January 1. European Commission interim forecasts in January 2009 for Lithuania predict an unemployment rate of 5.4 percent for 2008, 8.8 percent for 2009 and 10.2 percent for 2010. Swedbank has grimmer forecasts: a rate of about 9.5 percent in 2009 and 12 percent in 2010. ¶3. (U) This negative news tracks with what we are seeing and hearing, with retail businesses on some of the main thoroughfares in Vilnius going out of business in recent weeks. The owner of a Vilnius restaurant, popular with locals and tourists alike, told us that this winter holiday season, unlike last, he had customers who attempted to bargain with him for catering and that these same customers wanted extended payment options stretching up to 30 days or more. ¶4. (U) Exports, manufacturing and internal demand are sinking, according to Nerijus Udrenas, a Senior Economist at SEB bank. Jekaterina Rojaka, a Senior Analyst at DnB Nord bank, told us that overall credit has constricted in Lithuania. This is mostly due to the wariness of Swedish parent banks that have discovered problematic loans throughout the region, not just Lithuania. In addition, press reports show a 1 billion Litas (about 375 million USD) decrease in demand deposits of Lithuanian businesses in December. The result of this may be declining consumption according to Giedrius Miliauskas, a local economist. ¶5. (U) Lithuania's challenges aren't just related to internal factors but in large export markets as well. A representative of a large cement producer in Lithuania said the drop in value of the Ruble is affecting its ability to export to Russia (the biggest single market for Lithuanian exports). Latvia's economic challenges also cast a pall over Lithuania, as it is the country's second biggest export market. AUSTERITY PLAN WASN'T SOLD TO THE PUBLIC ---------------------------------------- ¶6. (C) Both Finance Minister Semeta and Economy Minister Kreivys told the Ambassador that the GOL hadn't done enough to explain to the public the need for an austerity plan (ref C), a fact echoed by Udrenas and Rojaka. Semeta also conceded that delivering the grim news about austerity simultaneously with news of a coming stimulus package might have meant both would have been better received. The ministers said that the new government planned to do a better job in the future, and this has been borne out so far. Kubilius has already met with some large business owners to discuss the stimulus plan, held a January 30th roundtable to discuss GOL ideas for stimulus with representatives of business and bank economic analysts, and plans to meet with more business leaders over the coming weeks. STIMULUS PLAN COMING -------------------- ¶7. (SBU) Now that the GOL has implemented (and started to revise) its austerity measures, it is working on a stimulus plan which may cost between 4 and 5 billion Litas (1.5 billion USD - 1.9 billion USD). On January 30, the PM held a roundtable discussion to solicit businesses' and economic analysts' opinion of different stimulus ideas. Kubilius will use the information gathered to fine tune the package that should be presented to parliament by the end of the month. The plan will likely include measures to: simplify the application and distribution of EU funds for Lithuanian businesses; revive credit markets through the creation of a holding fund with up to 1.9 billion Litas (about 700 million USD) to aid SMEs via micro credits of 20K - 30K Litas (about 7,500 - 11,000 USD) as well as ordinary credit instruments that will be administered by commercial banks; assist the construction sector by providing approximately 3 billion Litas (about 1.1 billion USD) to subsidize energy efficiency projects (e.g., insulation) in public and residential buildings; reduce the bureaucratic burden on businesses; and improve the business, export and investment climate. SOME POINTS OF LIGHT -------------------- ¶8. (U) Press reports show that deposits held by private individuals rose in December from November. This may show an increase in confidence in the banking sector or a renewed interest in saving. We were told by one American IT firm representative with large operations in Vilnius that the global economic slowdown would benefit him, as companies seek to outsource IT services such as his, rather than keeping them in house. Lithuania's current account deficit was 9.4 percent of GDP in Q3 of 2008 as compared to 14.6 percent in ¶2007. Finally, Udrenas predicts that productivity increases combined with a focus on core competencies will make for stronger surviving industries in Lithuania. COMMENT ------- ¶9. (SBU) Many of our Lithuanian interlocutors recognize that the new GOL was in a corner when it came into office due to profligate spending by it predecessor. Yet, none of these same interlocutors feel the new GOL has done a good job of explaining its austerity plan. The GOL is making an effort not to repeat the same mistake with the stimulus plan and is indicating that it will implement these measures as soon as possible. CLOUD

There were some wonderfully funny moments in Python at 50: Silly Walks and Holy Grails (BBC Two, Saturday). Such as Michael Palin, Graham Chapman and Terry Jones making life impossible for a local TV news reporter during a Monty Python shoot in remotest mid-Seventies Yorkshire, or John Cleese delightedly sharing with fellow Pythons his tax-deductible new hair implants, or Terry Gilliam wearing the briefest (and possibly snuggest) cut-offs ever worn by a working film director, on the set of The Life of Brian in Tunisia.
Fascists with friends in high places. Glaswegians with grudges. Wives waving divorce papers. We've already reached the midway point of the fifth series and the Peaky Blinders are besieged from all sides. Here are all the talking points from the plot-thickening third episode…
On 1 September 1949, Carol Reed's celebrated thriller The Third Man was released. It was an immediate hit and in the ensuing seven decades, The Third Man's popularity has remained constant, with frequent appearances on TV and in the cinema, as well as a beautiful restoration in 2015.The film has also featured regularly in lists of the greatest films of all time, and many critics treasure it. It's been 20 years now since the BFI placed The Third Man at the top of their own list of greatest British films, so perhaps it's time for a reappraisal of the finest examples of British cinema.
The new Andrew Davies adaptation of Sanditon on ITV on Sunday evening unveiled one of Jane Austen's lesser-known works as an entertaining romp set in an England undergoing unprecedented social change – with lashings of sun, sand, sex and bare-bottomed sea bathing.
News reports last week that a generation of viewers has taken refuge in watching endless reruns of Friends and the US version of The Office (according to data on Netflix's most-watched shows) have mostly ignored one salient fact: the generation before has been doing that for years in Britain. They just endlessly watch repeats of Dad's Army.
After months of mystery, plans for the 25th James Bond film seem to be taking shape. We have a star, a director and even a title. We're beginning to get a sense of the film that has, until now, felt as elusive as its eponymous hero.
Close your eyes and you might just be back in Walmington-on-Sea in the early 1940's. Or at least in a living room in the late 1960's. From whatever distance you view your nostalgia for the Second World War as seen through the lens of classic sitcom Dad's Army, the 'new' episodes re-created from three missing shows, will hit your nostalgia buttons bang in the middle.
We all have cherished memories of the books we read and shared as children. Big friendly giants, honey-loving bears, hungry caterpillars, iron men: these figures populate the vivid imaginary landscapes of our childhoods. Everybody will remember the book that made them laugh and cry, the one that they turn to again and again. Like totems, we pass them on to our own children, each book a spell in itself.But there isn't room in this list for everything. I'm sure that every single reader will gasp at omissions and query the order. There are many personal favourites that I've left out, and many more 20th- and 21st-century writers whom I would have liked to include. This isn't intended as a definitive ranking; but as an overview, and a guide. You'll recognise many; a few perhaps will be not so well known, but deserve more attention. I've considered influence as well as originality; but crucially, all of the books here have stood the tests of time, taste and, most importantly, readers. Each one, whenever it was published, can be read and enjoyed by a child today as much as it was by the children of the past.I hope too that this will encourage many adult readers to turn back to their childhood shelves, take up that long-forgotten gem, and find wonder and magic once more. So – are you sitting comfortably? Then let us begin.1\. The Alice books by Lewis Carroll (19th century)Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and Through the Looking Glass, and what Alice Found There, are an extraordinary brace of books, written by the mathematician Charles Dodgson, under his pseudonym Lewis Carroll. He employed logic, humour and inventive fantasy, fashioning the most powerful and unusual works in children's literature. Some have tried to work out why a raven is like a writing desk. But most will be content to be drawn away into enchantment.2\. Kinder- und Hausmarchen ('Nursery and Household Tales') by The Brothers Grimm (19th century)Exceptionally influential, this collection of more than 200 tales underwent many editions in the Grimms' lifetime. Though the seamier elements were altered for a prudish bourgeois audience, the fairy tales retain a depth that resonates with children and adults alike. We all know The Frog Prince and Hansel and Gretel; but have you read Hans my Hedgehog, about a half-boy, half-hedgehog? 3\. Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Andersen (19th century)A strange and shy man, Hans Christian Andersen produced some of the most beautiful and reverberant literary fairy tales in the world, about loss, love and longing. Gerda's search for her brother Kay in The Snow Queen; the little mermaid's mute passion for her prince; gorgeously written, the stories offer solace and enchantment. 4\. The One Thousand and One Nights by Anon. (Folk tales)This scintillating series, which Scheherazade spins to her royal husband every night so that he spares her life to hear their conclusion, first came to Europe in 1704 in a French text that also contained Aladdin, Ali Baba and Sinbad the Sailor. Elemental, opulent and wondrous, the stories are full of passion and revenges, and remain enormously influential.5\. Peter and Wendy by J M Barrie (1911)Some would argue that this novelised form of the play Peter Pan is not a children's book, being instead complicit with an ironic, adult viewpoint. However, this, and all its variants, are enjoyed immensely by children. There is the theme-park world of Neverland: the sense of unbounded imagination, and the dizzying allure of flight and magic.6\. The Pilgrim's Progress from This World, to That Which Is to Come by John Bunyan (1678)One of the first books enthusiastically taken up by children, this is now largely neglected, even by adults and scholars. Unjustly so, as its allegorical power and beauty are unsurpassed. Its humour and colloquial nature mean it is still accessible. From the Slough of Despond to the Celestial City, it brims with memorable places and people. 7\. The Narnia series by CS Lewis (mid-20th century)The best children's books have a way of altering the universe around them. Everyone can remember their first encounter with Narnia and then trying to get through the back of the wardrobe afterwards into the enticing other world. Lewis's stroke of genius, of course, was making the animals talk; the knightly adventures of the children are gripping.8\. Northern Lights by Philip Pullman (1995)Philip Pullman's daemons, in his lavishly-imagined alternative world run by a sinister religious organisation, are among the most enduring creations of children's literature. His themes are cosmic and vast, with a dizzying sense of possibility. His story is spellbinding, and, in Lyra Belacqua, he made a heroine at once appealing, spiky and enduring. 9\. The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien (1937)In The Hobbit, an odder book than it at first appears, the tiny hairy-footed Bilbo Baggins goes on a journey with some dwarves, and is actually rewarded for being a thief. The charm of the hobbits' world is matched by the excitement of the adventures Bilbo finds himself entangled in and many readers will be led on to its vast sequel, The Lord of the Rings. 10\. The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame (1908)There is some debate as to whether The Wind in the Willows is a children's book, or whether it's really a book to lift up the spirits of down-trodden city clerks. Either way, the gentle adventures of Mole and Ratty, and Toad's ridiculous shenanigans, express a lyrical love of the pleasures of rural life.11\. The Once and Future King by TH White (1958)Captivating, wise, witty, this collection of three earlier books treats the Matter of Britain. TH White's masterstroke was to imagine the young king Arthur as Wart, an ordinary boy thrust into extraordinary situations, and his Merlin as a kindly, forgetful old man (viz. Dumbledore). Neglected in recent years, White deserves a place in the limelight once more.12\. Five Children and It by E Nesbit (1902)A representative from the first Golden Age of children's fiction in the early 20th century. Nesbit's grumpy, vain wish-granting Psammead (or "sand fairy"), an immortal who used to eat pterodactyl for breakfast, offers adventure in a world without oppressive evil. The brothers and sisters find that magic doesn't always offer a solution.13\. The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling (1894)Raised by wolves, Mowgli must face the terrible tiger Shere Khan, with the help of Baloo, a "sleepy brown bear", and Bagheera, a panther. Full of invention and adventure, the stories were an immediate hit, the behaviour of the animals believable and, paradoxically, human. Their wildness and subtleties have become thoroughly imbued into the popular imagination.14\. Matilda by Roald Dahl (1988)I'm willing to bet that after reading this, many children stared at pencils, hoping they might be able to move them with their mind alone. Dahl's exuberant imagination is on full display in this emotionally weighty story about a little girl's fight for love and escape. Miss Trunchbull, the vicious headmistress, is one of literature's great villains.15\. Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak (1963)A picture book that reveals more about itself each time it's read. Note how the pictures expand as Max's imaginative world grows; how the text, poetic and spare, interacts with the visuals; how Max, through his journey into the interior of his self, meets and conquers his anger at his mother. The drawings are lovely, too.16\. The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf (1936)What at first seems to be a delightful story about a little bull who hates fighting becomes a potent fable about what's expected of boys. Rejecting masculine violence, Ferdinand prefers just to sit under a cork tree. The illustrations of Spanish matadors, picadors and their arenas are astoundingly evocative. 17\. The Wolves of Willoughby Chase by Joan Aiken (1962)This has all the hallmarks of classic children's literature: missing parents, a usurping adult, terrible injustices and the romance of winter and wolves. Set in an alternative historical era, where James III rules, little Bonnie's fortune is snatched by a sinister governess. Children will cheer when she gets her comeuppance.18\. The Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin (1968)The recent death of Ursula Le Guin, aged 88, has brought renewed attention to her works. Ged, a dark-skinned boy from the goat herding island of Gont, demonstrates exceptional powers and is sent to learn how to be a wizard. His resulting quest is epic, with a depth and strangeness that lasts.19\. Tom's Midnight Garden by Philippa Pearce (1958)Considered by many to be one of children's literature's most outstanding examples. Tom is packed away to stay with his aunt and uncle: but when the clock strikes thirteen, he finds a gorgeous garden, and in it a little girl called Hatty who seems to come from a different time. Emotionally rich, it will leave a lasting impression on any child. 20\. The Ghost of Thomas Kempe by Penelope Lively (1973)Penelope Lively once said that "children need to sense that we live in a permanent world that reaches away behind and ahead of us". Her writing encompasses a huge range, and this, her Carnegie-winning novel about a house beset by the spirit of a sorceror, is eerie, effective and involving.21\. The Harry Potter series by JK Rowling (late 20th century)First published more than 20 years ago, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone blazed into the world's consciousness like a bolt of lightning. Moving from the initial wonder and quirky charm of the first three books, the series took on a darker tone, resulting in an enthralling septet and a cultural phenomenon.22\. The Scarecrows by Robert Westall (1981)I've chosen The Scarecrows over The Machine Gunners, which is perhaps Westall's better known book, as I think this has a quality of terror and an understanding of adolescence that is matchless. It focuses on a boy's tortured relationship with his stepfather and the encroachment of a murder that happened many years before. Unforgettably spine-tingling, and profoundly affecting.23\. Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer (2001)A wondrously clever book that upturns children's literature convention. Its hero, Artemis Fowl, is a 12-year-old boy who also happens to be a criminal mastermind. Containing such characters as a kleptomaniac, flatulent dwarf, and a centaur called Foaly who's also a technical whizz, this is a hilarious delight. 24\. Down with Skool! A Guide to School Life for Tiny Pupils and their Parents by Geoffrey Willans and Ronald Searle (1953)As any fule know, reading Molesworth is like being a member of a secret skool gang. Complemented by Ronald Searle's satirical drawings of depressed, deluded schoolmasters and grubby, disobedient schoolboys, all the world's vanity and hypocrisy is on display through Molesworth's cynical, instantly likeable and badly spelled voice. A grate writer, indeed.25\. The Mouse and His Child by Russell Hoban (1967)A bittersweet and unusual tale, in which a clockwork mouse and his child are thrown out of a toy shop, and then must embark on a journey to find safety. Unlike the film Toy Story, in which the toys are complicit in their servitude, this allows discarded toys to find a world of their own, constructed according to their own terms. Full of striking imagery and exciting scenes. 26\. Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman (2001)Former Children's Laureate Malorie Blackman's novel described a world in which black Africans had enslaved white Europeans. Whites, or noughts, were economically impoverished, while the blacks, or crosses, were in power. An inter-racial love affair between two teens brings first passion and then tragedy. Powerful, provocative and original.27\. The Lie Tree by Frances Hardinge (2015)The recent winner of the overall Costa Book Awards is a remarkable novel from a remarkable writer. Hardinge is a true original, her sentences poised and poetic, her alternative 19th-century world fully imagined, and her intelligent, enquiring female lead not simply a good role model but also a fine addition to literature.28\. How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell (2003)Quite simply, Cressida Cowell has an exceptional ability to give children what they like. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III is a Viking who doesn't fit in: gawky and geeky, his adventures with his hunting-dragon Toothless are madcap and marvellous. Give it to a child and see them become engrossed immediately. 29\. The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter (1902)Even Potter knew she was writing nostalgically about an imagined past, but who could not fail to love this slyly observed tale of a naughty rabbit? Potter's arch, almost Austen-esque prose interacts seamlessly with her keenly observed studies of flora and fauna. Avoid the new film and stick to the original.30\. Tom Brown's Schooldays by Thomas Hughes (1857)This moving, charming and poignant tale of boarding school life is included partly for its own merits, but also as it was the first in the school story genre that spawned so many thousands of books, through Enid Blyton right up to JK Rowling. And, of course, the bully Flashman, without whom we wouldn't have George MacDonald Fraser's hilarious series detailing his further adventures.Philip Womack is the author of six critically acclaimed books for children, including The Liberators (2010), The Broken King (2014), and The Double Axe (2016). He teaches children's literature, and children's and young adult fiction at Royal Holloway, University of London, and is crowdfunding a novel on Unbound, The Arrow of Apollo, set in a legendary mythical past
Netflix has plenty of classic films in its catalogue – and in recent years, the streaming service has also produced some remarkably original films of its own, from the animal rights satire Okja to the Oscar-winning Roma. But for every award-winning drama, there are just as many trashy B-movies (such as the risible romance A Christmas Prince).
There was mid-series misery for Gentleman Jack, as Anne Lister (Suranne Jones) was left broken-hearted and bloody-nosed.
Through eight truly traumatic seasons of Westerosi warfare, no-one has had to adapt quite as fast or as frequently as Arya Stark.
Whilst some people count sheep to get themselves off to sleep, Arya Stark recites the names of all who have wronged her. The aim, in case you haven't worked out already, is to quite literally strike those names off.
A long, long time ago (circa the very first episode of Game of Thrones) the Starks stumbled across an orphaned pack of puppy direwolves and took it upon themselves to look after the small survivors. One for each of the six Stark children.
Even if you're the most casual, easily confused Game of Thrones fan in existence, you've probably grasped the basic thrust of the show's plot by now. Previously, lots of people were warring over who should sit on the Iron Throne of Westeros. Now, most of the contenders are dead - save for one or two - and a bigger, scarier problem has emerged.
Of all the Game of Thrones storylines, Bran Stark's has been the most sedentary – and that's not just because he can't actually walk. He has spent most of the show being dragged across an icy wasteland, hugging old trees. Sometimes, though, these mystical old roots have born fruitful visions that may well determine the outcome of the show
Tormund Giantsbane entered Game of Thrones in season three as a minor character, part of the wildling rabble who captured Jon Snow. Over time, though, the red-headed warrior has steadily worked his way into our affections with his bluff jibes and unrefined ways, injecting some much needed levity in the often dour plotline of Castle Black. It was only when faced with the prospect of Tormund's death, as an ice dragon descended on the wall in the finale of season seven, that fans realised just how fond they'd actually grown of him.

Phew. After another white-knuckle hour of shady dealings and shock deaths, here are all the talking points from an incendiary fourth episode…

For an irreverent antagonist with a penchant for prostitutes, Tyrion Lannister really stole our hearts.
We found out at the end of the season 7 that Jon Snow was not the illegitimate child of Ned Stark and "Some Bint" (Catelyn Stark's own words, there) but instead Aegon Targaryen, the legitimate son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark and the rightful heir to the Iron Throne.
In Beyond The Wall, the penultimate episode of Game of Thrones season 7, viewers were given an exciting new revelation about the deadly White Walkers. Kill one of the icy villains, it transpired, and all of the wights created by that particular Walker will instantly drop dead. (Well, permanently dead.)
Another armed raid, hotel trysts, hostages taken – and did we see the unmasking of corrupt kingpin "H"? Here are all the talking points from a breathlessly eventful third episode…
