Dick Twittington 47: "Ur nuuuuur!"

This week on my Twitter feed: A cat photo, because it's internet law that I post at least two a year.

At risk of self-parody but I don't fancy anyone in the Swan's summer ensemble and now I don't know what to think http://www.rsc.org.uk/whats-on/the-roaring-girl/cast.aspx

Dick Twittington 41: Fops on the tube

This week on my Twitter feed, bits of a theatre fall down, and programming at another one stops making sense.

Writing my American Psycho review; meanwhile the team at the next bank of desks is getting VERY excited about their new business cards.

@TootingGareth I wanted to do a #themorethingschange hashtag but the character limit was against me.

Dick Twittington 29: Doing the accent

This week on my Twitter feed, it's all change at work, and a hasty escape from the theatre.

ZOMG two history bits this week! #GBBO

Wait, Damien Molony bakes cakes? Just when you think you couldn't be more attracted to someone.

"Deep down we're human"

OK, I can put it off no longer, but once I've done a blog post about the last ever Being Human it's definitely all over.

"The Last Broadcast" by Toby Whithouse, directed by Daniel O'Hara. Spoilers under the cut.

"I'm only the fucking Devil, sweetheart."

Just one more episode of Being Human left, ever, which is, as Supernanny would put it, "unasseptible." Of course, if you'd told me back in 2008 when the show hadn't been picked up after the pilot, that we'd end up with 40 episodes over 5 years, that would have been better than I'd ever hoped for, but that's what happens when you keep the quality up for that long, people want more.

"No Care, All Responsibility" by Sarah Dollard, directed by Daniel O'Hara. Spoilers under the cut.

"You had me at hotel and leisure management."

Being Human's getting pretty dark again as we're a couple of weeks away from the conclusion, but it's still keeping its lighter moments.

"The Greater Good" by John Jackson, directed by Daniel O'Hara. Spoilers under the cut.

Twitterball 50: Itchin' to do some murderin'.

This week on my Twitter feed I go from ogling Damien Molony on telly to ogling him on stage, make a large amount of A Chrous Line-related in-jokes and my search for a new job kicks up a notch, and then doesn't.

At the Palladium, where my sister's reminiscing about being spat on by Jason Donovan.

Lots of kids here for their half term treat. I'm sure "Tits & Ass" and the one about gonorrhea will go down a storm #achorusline

"Dead Victorian kids are so annoying."

So now we've had it confirmed that Series 5 of Being Human is going to be the last one as suspected. With Yer Actual Devil as this year's Big Bad, I'm not sure there was any point pretending they were going to come back next year with something bigger and scarier. Although ever since the pilot, there's been one phrase in the Being Human universe that's been scarier than any other...

"Sticks and Rope" by Daragh Carville, directed by Philip John. Spoilers under the cut.

"This is a two-sets-of-marigolds problem."

If it's February it must be time for new Being Human, although only for the next six weeks this time. Did the show have its budget cut, and decide to cut back to six episodes again instead of stinting on quality for eight? I've always done Being Human blog posts in bullet points, don't ask me why.

"The Trinity" by Toby Whithouse, directed by Philip John. Spoilers under the cut.

Twitterball 44: You're not Madonna dearie

This week on my Twitter feed I get retweeted by an air conditioner, and continue to tweet about rubbish reality TV.

Wait, Cee Lo Green was Gnarls Barkley? Am I the last person to figure this out?
