I have the upmost respect for doctors and nurses. My mum is a nurse. But retail over Christmas has broken members of my team mentally and physically. It’s so demanding and exhausting, and there’s actually more to it then picking up a jumper. Merry Christmas!

Very rarely does a film take my breath away, but my goodness Passing is exceptional. So delicately crafted with its nuances and layers, not to mention exemplary faithfulness to the source material and astonishing performances from Thompson and Negga.
