Went to the new West End smash - terrific but sadly my days of theatre are over. My new NHS hearing aids are fantastic - increasing volume AND direction (so they can be aimed at the stage or, in cinemas, speakers) but the clarity of dialogue, especially women and children, is only 50% and it's simply impossible to follow.
I left half way through but my companions stayed and adored it.
I've been binge watching the Netflix series (I'd never seen it); it's good like Speilberg crossed with King, but very dated. Odd how a few years (it began in 2016) can really change the way you view things. Instead of ET it seems more The Goonies.

Stranger Things looks good on paper, I didn't like it at all.


Finn Wolfhard gets on my nerves a lot. Another case that children should be seen and not heard...preferably not seen either.

I have even giving up on Stephen King book period.
