Calle Malaga (d Maryam Touzani) is a lovely bittersweet drama about old age, community, family and agency. Incredibly touching performance by Carmen Maura 2/2

Didn’t do much Ldn Film Festival this year, but enjoyed what we did see…

Ultras (d Ragnhild Ekner) is a wide-ranging and eye-opening look at supporter culture around the world, from Indonesia to Eastbourne 1/2

The Sweeney is 50 years old this year. John M Burns did this illustration for an article in the UK magazine Reveille in 1978.

On this day in 1677 Cornelius Vermuyden died in London, a Dutch-born engineer who had been tasked with draining the watery fens and levels of eastern England.

As I wrote last year, Vermuyden’s fenland exploits provide a cautionary tale for those wading into unfamiliar landscapes.

ATTENTION CROYDONAUTS!

We've had a frankly astonishing email from the archivist at the Committee for Sonic Research. (@tcfsr.bsky.social)

Our researchers are looking into it, but if true, it could blow open a whole new chapter in the history of #CroydonSpaceport.

Watch this space...
