YouTube | MandRproductions
"Ryan is a YouTuber who reviews Lego sets (I am a huge AFOL) I predominately watch his Star Wars videos as that’s what I collect but these are really good videos than help me decide if I will buy a set or not as well as seeing builds that I can never afford."

Audible | How They Broke Britain
Bold and incisive as ever, James O'Brien reveals the shady network of influence that has created a broken Britain of strikes, shortages and scandals. "I am currently listening to ‘How They Broke Britain’ by James O’Brien. I watch the edits of his show on YouTube, but this is a very insightful book."

Podcast | The Rest Is Football
"I love football and this is such an entertaining podcast. I started to listen to it as the Euro’s started and it's great. Lineker, Richards and Shearer have great chemistry together and it sounds like you are listening to mates talking about football, but clearly they come from a very experienced side. It is odd hearing them swear though."

TV Show | Bluey
"Having heard so much about this programme and thinking my kids were too old, we sit as a family and watch one of these every night. There are so many moments where it strikes a chord about parenting, it can be like watching a documentary on your own life. It also is just a very funny show."

Film | James Blunt: One Brit Wonder
"This is a documentary film rather than a blockbuster but it's brilliant. I love James Blunt, it's not cool to like him but I have done since Back to Bedlam and he’s one of the best acts I’ve seen live. Even if you are not a fan of his music this is worth a watch to appreciate his hard work and drive in the face of criticism."
