The best film musical numbers

by Bethan Gilson

My parents have taken me to the theatre since I was a tot, and therefore a love of musicals has been instilled in me.

by Bethan Gilson

First year won’t be the best year of your life. There, I said it. It will be filled with its fair share of loneliness, tears, homesickness and general heartache.

It prophesises that in the near future, America has been turned into a totalitarian theocracy called Gilead in which fertile women, dubbed “Handmaids”, are owned by the state and forced to partake in a form […]

by Bethan Gilson

More rom-coms are beginning to crop up in the Netflix ‘recently added’ section; the radio stations are beginning to play more love songs; This Morning’s real life segments are becoming increasingly romance related. Yes, that’s right, Valentine’s Day is here. Singletons all over the world have been preparing themselves for the annual bombardment of images […]
