There’s a moment a little way in where it v obviously dawns on him that he’s now the one pointing a rifle as the cops get closer and he should put it down *immediately*. But yes, staggeringly brave and also v effective technique, that bear-hug manoeuvre.

Littlest angel and then a series of middling angels but never Angel Gabriel because my friend Donna was the tallest girl in the class so she always got that part. Height seems to have been a crucial feature of nativity play casting!

The dancers gave that their all, and I assume then went backstage and beat the choreographer to death. Amazing stuff!

I was vaccinated, yet somehow still got mumps at 15, despite no-one else in my family or school getting it. Nothing’s 100% I guess

They’d like me to promote it to students. “Do you have neither the skills nor imagination to make a film, AND you don’t give a shit about the environment or other people’s work? You’re in luck!!”
