Sara Cox (1845 KP) rated Gavin and Stacey: Christmas special 2019 in TV

Contains spoilers, click to show
I absolutely love Gavin and Stacey and was so excited for this Christmas special! I love that they used the same actor for Neill the baby as 10 years ago! I thought the episode was absolutely brilliant and I'm more angry at Smithy's new girlfriend for not allowing Bryn to tell us at what happened at the fishing trip, as I truly thought we were going to be told, than I am about her utter disdain for the family. I really hope that this is a lead on to another series!

Just seen not the funniest movie I've seen this year but I did find it funny. Basically dave bautista plays the entire movie blind and kumali nanjiani plays his uber driver with disastrous results iko uwais plays the villian in my opinion underused brilliant in the raid movies but here not so much. The rest of the cast we're good even Karen Gillan who's only in the first five minutes of the movie. Would I watch again probably on DVD or blu ray

Interesting text book
This is a heavy but interesting read. I have actually studied it to death for an essay on hysteria. If any ladies have a secret desire that they might have liked to have lived in the Victorian period, this book might change your mind. Women were treated disgracefully. I think had I been around in the late Victorian period I would have been institutionalised and certifiably mad. Overall, good read for it's purpose but not for relaxation.

didnt like certain subjects
okay so i wanted to know what all the damn fuss was about when i saw this movie and while it is quite brilliant indeed i personally didnt like the villian that stole tho souls from the kids its not nessasary to the plot and to be honest made no sense there were plenty of good scares and plenty going on without all that rigamaroar needed the story really kept my intrest and id for sure see it again

Under-rated band gets new lease of life
Bear Vs Shark are one of those bands, too heavy for the indie kids, too indie for the hardcore kids.
This is discordant indie rock with powerchords, or post hardcore to some. Indie gone punk. And it's done brilliantly. Here their first two albums get remastered and put on one disc. The gruff gravel vocals are raw and blistering and Buses No Buses is just an anthem. Brilliant band and so underrated

Was bored until the ending saved this movie
Movie was boring, in the beginning and almost til the end. Gathering the crew, making plans, walking around, pointless talking. I wanted to stop watching this movie in the middle, the only reason i kept going was because of the great actors, and because i loved Ocean's 8. The ending saved this movie. When it is revealed how everything was stolen, then it starts to get interesting. It turned out to be a brilliant plan.

Every teen should have this
Kids learning about sex is good. It's proven that those who do are more likely to be in healthy relationships, lose their virginity later and have less sexual partners.
I bought this for my son for him to learn at his own pace, it has everything a modern teen may want to know about as well as teaching the importance of positive relationships. If I was in government I'd make sure this got in the hands of every secondary school pupil.
Brilliant book presented in a fun and interesting way.

Bosses can be frustrating
Amazing, difficult but worth it
Amazing game, it’s difficulty spike increases constantly, eventually mellowing out as you gain further power and then increasing once more. A world full of secrets and challenges everywhere, that just following the main path isn’t worth it. Definitely a game worth its price and highly recommended to anyone. However difficulty of bosses can often border on frustration.
