Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey (2020)
Any musical theatre lover will enjoy the music, costumes and choreography of this film. There is a mix of old and new in this Christmas movie that is perfect for all the family.

Maybe it’s the fact that it’s based on a self-help book, or maybe it is the fact that much of the dialogue could probably be found on the Facebook wall or tea towel of a middle-aged woman, but The Secret: Dare To Dreamis boring.

Delayed by the very pandemic that the nation’s grandfather warned about in his last documentary programme Extinction: The Facts, David Attenborough’s self-professed ‘witness statement’ is an essential watch. Using the familiar beautiful sights of Blue Planet and Planet Earth, along with archive footage of Mr Attenborough’s adventures through the years, he uses his life as a case study forContinue reading “David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet (2020)”
