Re: Broadchurch and Other UK TV Programs

If you like musicals there was a live recording of Immelda Staunton in Gypsy from the Savoy Theatre in London. It was on BBC4 on the 27th. She was really amazing in it and has had standing ovations.

Re: Moving back with Kitty

You'll be scared and stressed until you pick her up at the other end but hopefully you'll all get through it OK.
