Lovely memories!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch &#8211; Fosse\/Verdon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you love theatre as much as I do, you may adore this. The short biopic charting the rise and fall of musicals legend, Bob Fosse, the man responsible for Cabaret and Chicago, among others, and how the wind beneath his wings was really Gwen Verdon. A lovely period piece and very watchable. Although painful at times! It is really well directed and I like how they have interwoven the flashbacks and the timescales, a bit like This is Us, which I\u2019m still working my way through as well! On iPlayer catch up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blooper<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I had a really funny time with Claire Edmondson last week, when it was just one of those shows!

Bullets and Blood, on audiobook, is the tale of early Hollywood and the story behind the story. In fact, the story behind the story of the story, if you see what I mean, as he tells of the inspirations that helped create early legendary movies like Public Enemy about Al Capone, how Warner Brothers came to be, how Jimmy Cagney became such a legend and so on. Really well made and done in a kind of drama format.
