Just watched the new film about the Beatles manager Brian Epstein called “Midas Man “ I loved it, it’s on Prime Video . It’s interesting, beautifully produced and so entertaining.

Oh my. Oh my oh my. That’s Tony Blackburn. Actual Tony Blackburn loves our movie. Thank you, Tony. You just made my my year. #midasmanmovie

I spent yesterday interviewing young people to help find them Arts Emergency mentors. Their talent, their hope and their sheer delight in their art, often in the face of huge challenges, is absolutely inspiring. Find out more and please help if you can. ❤️ arts-emergency.org

"I hope people fall in love with Brian the same way we all did, for who he was as well as for the staggering things he achieved and helped bring to the world." Jacob Fortune-Lloyd & Joe Stephenson discuss @MidasManMovie for Attitude Magazine: attitude.co.uk/culture/midas-…

I loved Park Beom-su’s sparkling cheerleader comedy VICTORY at BFI last night. Check out the full Korean Film Festival programme below.

On 9 November 1961 Brian Epstein first saw the Beatles play at the Cavern Club. #MidasManMovie, now on Prime UK, is a celebration of Brian's vision, not just of a new kind of music but a new kind of Britain. Don't ever let anyone tell you that one person can't change the world.

I loved Tender by Eleanor Tindall at Bush Theatre from Broccoli Arts. It's fast, funny, deeply romantic & packed with perfectly placed grenades, directed with style, sensuality & heart-stopping suspense by Emily Aboud. Until 21/12 (do check content info). bushtheatre.co.uk/event/tender/
