Thanks Tom, but could we nail down a time/place otherwise we might miss each other again? Don’t want to keep leaving it to chance! I’m wide open most afternoons (if you’ll pardon the expression!).
To all the films in release, to all the studios, and to all the exhibitors: congratulations. To the audience: thank you for venturing out and allowing us to entertain you. See you at the movies.

Glad that this is receiving the attention it deserves. They were out of the packet - found behind some recently exposed brickwork and a few had started to glow? Is that normal with M&Ms - should I just try one and see if I'm ok tomorrow?.
@RichardAyoade They'll be fine to eat. But if you are binning them, make sure you don't put the packaging in your food waste bin - just the M&Ms!.

In Ayoade on Top, Richard Ayoade, perhaps one of the most 'insubstantial' people of our age, takes us on a journey from Peckham to Paris by way of Nevada and other places we don't care about. It's a journey deep within, in a way that's respectful and non-invasive.
