Dec. 12th, 2023 10:29 amWe went to see Wonka yesterday and it was pretty great. To be honest, it was always going to appeal to me as I love a musical, but I also enjoyed playing spot the British actor as there were loads of known faces in supporting roles. I did spend a lot of time wondering how I knew one of the main bad guys, then when talking on the way home realised it was Mathew Baynton, who I mostly know from Ghosts.
I also loved Timothée Chalamet as Wonka, he brought the character to life beautifully and made me smile often.
I watched the final new Who episode last night, and enjoyed the surprises. Then found a Musketeer writer I've read in the past, but not for a long time, so binged on their excellent h/c bingo series that felt like new stories appearing just for me.
Now Strictly! I'm so incredibly pleased that Layton and Nikita have made the final -- and yes, that means I'll stop going on about this after the weekend. Mainly, I was pleased that they got there without having to be in the dance off, and their amazement at that was lovely to see. I honestly don't know how Layton hasn't buckled under the strain, and wish he wouldn't read the horrible comments on social media. I mean, he keeps responding with dignity, but it has to take a toll.
So, they did two dances, a rumba and Charleston, and while the rumba was lovely I'm just going to embed the Charleston because it's so much fun. ( Layton and Nikita Charleston to Fit As A Fiddle )
It's James' works meal out this Saturday, so he won't be in for the final. He asked if I was going to wait to watch on the Sunday with him, and yeah, that won't be happening.
