I really like Professor Hannah Fry’s TV programmes about science.
But her new series #TheFuture on BBC2 has gone a bit weird.
She no longer looks at the camera but talks to an imaginary friend like the permanently angry chef Gordon Ramsey.

I went to the theatre to see Billy Fury Meets Elvis. It was a great night for music at the Sheppey Little Theatre but I wondered if the pair of superstars had actually ever met. Guess what? I've found the answer...

And Lo, this is my summer reading taken care of. The new @juliewassmer Whitstable Pearl mystery has arrived at Cobweb Castle on the sun-kissed Isle of Sheppey. It’s called Murder at St Alfred’s, one of Whitstable’s nicest churches. Has there been a row over a water shortage?

The thrust reversers on this Boeing 737-200 are more than half a century old. No matter how many times I see this, it will always be cool.
