If you like Matthew Rhys, then can I recommend the film The Scapegoat. He is magnificent as doppelgangers John Standing, a failed teacher, and Johnny Spence, a failed businessman. It's really very compelling viewing!
Thank you so much for sharing my Substack this week, what a joy! (I'm also absolutely with you on the minor rebellion of staying up late issue - why do we behave like this?!)
Now you have me wondering if I have to watch more Dr Who! Love this clip, I am with you - the trifecta of Vincent, Bill Nighy & Matt Smith is fabulous. Thanks for all the links to explore. WTW always takes me way longer to read than it should - in the very best way of course :)
Thank you so much for including me on this lovely round-up, I'm off to click the rest of your links. I have also been devouring all the post-Succession round-ups and break-downs, I wanted to write about it myself but I knew that if I started to write even one paragraph it'd be 24, 000 words before I knew it. I wonder how long I can keep my mouth shut. (I loved it so much!!!)
I would love to read you write more about Succession, especially as someone, on the whole, didn't really love it. So it would be great to see it through your eyes. We've started rewatching The Last Kingdom and really enjoying it, again. Saying that, not seen the most recent season.
Great newsletter, Claire, thank you; and thank you so much for the mention, I appreciate it. I didn't realise when I commented on your comment on my piece that you'd written about Mrs Palfrey yourself. I've just very much enjoyed your newsletter on it. So many people have told me that they love it: we're part of a wonderful underground clique of people who value THAT Elizabeth Taylor.
