Hi folks, how are you? I hope this finds you well. I don't know about you, but God, can it stop raining already? I mean, the good thing about that is that it does encourage you into the cinema, hopefully, which is a good thing. There's some fun stuff out at the minute. Dungeons and Dragons is definitely one that I would highly recommend. To be honest, I was a bit like, meh, but it's very, very good.

1:17.1

a really lovely kind of weird remote press conference. So basically, it was so bizarre. I was

1:24.8

in a London, posh London hotel. I was in one room. Jude Law

1:33.9

in the same room doing a press conference, but that's because there was about 200 of the

1:37.3

world's press there, talking about Peter Pan and Wendy, which is David's adaptation of the
