John Bishop had a tougher journey home after the Champions League Final than he had hoped for. After his team lost to Real Madrid 0:1, Liverpool fan Bishop thought he had lucked in when he bagged a seat on a club charter flight next to actor Damian Lewis, but the flight got delayed by 6 hours. It was a better weekend for Matt Forde, whose beloved Nottingham Forest secured promotion to the Premier League for the first time in 23 years.

A celebration of community that feels natural.

Cinemas are open, so the feel-good Brit comedy is back.
Clarisse Loughrey, The Independent, 4th June 2021Dream Horse review
Yes, it's schmaltzy, very schmaltzy, but with strong performances by Toni Collette and Damian Lewis the odds are that you'll love it.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 3rd June 2021Six main actors and supporting cast play a variety of roles in the Horrible Histories' take on William Shakespeare's lost years. The Bard had tried being in a band but it didn't work out so it's off to London for fame and fortune and a nasty Spanish Catholic plot to kill Queen Elizabeth I.
It's all a hoot with touches of Python, Blackadder and The Young Ones as the great and the good of Elizabethan England tread the boards. Damian Lewis does a cameo as Sir Richard Hawkins, Ben Willbond hams it up as King Philip II of Spain with his trio of assassins, miserable Christopher Marlow (Jim Howick) helps the Bard and Helen McCrory is all you hope for as Elizabeth I.
Great fun but will it fill the big screen?
