3 years ago, we closed the door to our beloved Button House for the last time. Or so we thought..Because it turns out, some Spirits refuse to fade.
We're off on another Ghostly adventure and this time, it's a matter of life or well, death 🎬🍿👻

A reminder of one of the loveliest pairs of siblings in the dictionary: ‘muscle’ and ‘mouse’. To the Roman imagination, the flexed biceps of a (typically naked) athlete resembled a rodent scuttling under the skin. ‘Musculus’, in Latin, means ‘little mouse’.

A few of my favourite words from the season. Some are beautiful, others might be necessary. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

From tomorrow, there’s a series of lighthearted #OnlyConnect festive specials on @BBCTwo. But there’s a proper episode tonight at 8, for anyone who wants a last shot at difficulty before the liqueurs kick in. (When you watch tomorrow’s, you’ll know how literally I mean that.)
