Hans Holbein portraits of two Thomases – More and Cromwell partnered at The Frick Collection.
Thanksgiving Hospitality in Boston.
What we like right now: The Missing, Magical Mystery Tours and The Middling Sort
Spine-tingling storytelling in this second series of The Missing. 
Hugely enjoyable The Beatles Eight Days a Week – the touring years.
Coffee at our nearby museum The Geffrye with its dedication to “the middling sort” and a wander round its chronologically-arranged gardens.
What we like right now…re-discovered drama, RDU, revelations
Love’s Sacrifice at Stratford, A Mad World My Masters at the Barbican. Huge panache in both cases bringing lost drama to life for 2015.
Foodie treats in the RDU Triangle in North Carolina. The Pit, Piedmont, Durham, Four Square Restaurant and the full Southern experience at Mama Dips, Chapel Hill. With thanks to the Old North Durham Inn
for their hospitality.
The revelations of Imelda Staunton’s amazing voice and Lara Pulver’s transformative powers in Gypsy. Unforgettable.
What we like right now…critical heart surgery, kebabs and Vince Cable
Jed Mercurio’s heart-stopping (or rather heart-starting) drama CRITICAL. Several scenes watched from behind the sofa, but great cast and dialogue.
Super Ocakbasi award-winning kebab joint in Stoke Newington Road.
Stuart’s Business is Great trip to Birmingham, interviewing Vince Cable by the BIS-branded Virgin train and Jo’s visit to Shaun and Anne Atkins for the first time in 25 years.
What we like right now…Turner, Tierra and tv
Mr Turner (despite seeing it with subtitles: “Obscure muttering (in Dutch)”). Tim Spall surely an Oscar contender?
Tierra Peru in Essex Road. Delicious Ceviche with tiger’s milk and crunch corn kernels.
The Missing – harrowing for all parents but compulsive viewing with superb performances.
