Gawn was a genuinely lovely man and a fine actor. I remember him as a touching and gentle Sorin in #TheSeagull at National Theatre. May his memory be a blessing and may he rest in peace. theguardian.com/stage/2025/may…

So, can a social media personality make the transition to creating entertaining TV? Well, yes - as #BenitoSkinner’s funny, sexy and heartfelt #Overcompensating amply proves.

Hear, hear LucyMangan - #JaneAustenRiseofaGenius is a joyously engaging, witty and informative journey through the life of one of the world's greatest novelists. theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…

In a standout cast, #CoryMichaelSmith’s dead-eyed techbro Venis perfectly captures the delusional, narcissistic ineptitude of today’s “masters of the universe” in Jesse Armstrong’s terrific #Mountainhead on NOWTV.

I watched this happen on the morning of 4 June 1989 in Chang’an Avenue, near Tiananmen Square, the morning after the night’s massacre. Don’t believe the propaganda lie that no massacre took place: I saw 40 people killed in front of me before giving up counting in despair.

I met #EdmundWhite in a Notting Hill gay pub back in the ‘90’s. I wish I had had the courage then to say what A Boy’s Own Story meant to ‘80s me - and how meaningfully his work shaped my life. May his memory be a blessing, and may he rest in peace. nytimes.com/2025/06/04/boo…

In a world that sometimes seems to bring nothing but bad news - here is a little moment of unadulterated joy. May the Schwartz be with you! #Spaceballs2

The King’s Birthday Honours celebrate many much-loved figures and many unsung heroes. Congratulations to Sir David Beckham, Dame Elaine Paige, Sir Gary Oldman, Dame Pat Barker, Sir Rufus Norris, Sir Anthony Gormley CH and all those recognised. theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j…

An AWOL leading man sets of a train of hilarious events in this fast and funny @sayitagainsorry production of #Earnest? at the @richmondtheatre. Members of the audience take the stage to fill in and the nimble cast keeps the laughs coming. Oscar would have loved it.

In (mostly) confining the action to the ABC Sports control room, #September5 becomes an almost unbearably tense examination of what happens when a newsroom must report the unthinkable: the despicable murder of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972. 🇮🇱

Interesting to see the breadth of movies that made the list - and sure to spark lots of debate among cineastes!

Roll up to see our big magic extravaganza at the Edinburgh Fringe Pleasance King Dome from 30 July to 24 August at 11:35 a.m. #edfringe #magicshow #forallages #comedymagic #theatre #familytheatre #magicrabbits

In the mood for a slice of good, old fashioned comedy-drama hokum? John Cena and #IdrisElba are a lovably charismatic POTUS/PM duo; punching and wisecracking their way across Europe to stop some Russian baddies in the enjoyably lightweight #HeadsOfState.

The gracious exchange of these exhibitions - the unfathomably priceless Bayeux Tapestry and the glories of the Sutton Hoo excavation - is a cultural moment of historic importance. Can’t wait to witness it British Museum in 2026. 🇬🇧🇫🇷 #ententeamicale theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
