Seen a few posts on Reddit stating the review embargo lifts at 5am tomorrow morning UK time.

Good to see that the BBC has confirmed a second season for Louis Theroux Interviews.

First review has appeared early, from Evening Standard: Some excerpts: 'Welcome to The Callisto Protocol, the scariest horror game of the year.' 'What makes this experience so terrifying is how immersive it is.' 'the graphics are superb. Shockingly so, in fact: they really do homage to the sci-fi setting. The expressions on the characters’ faces (spookily similar to the actors voicing them) are lovingly and realistically rendered; the monsters look gruesomely realistic' 'The game is only 12-14 hours long, but it also manages to pack an awful lot in' 'Let’s be clear: this game is not for everybody. But The Callisto Protocol has set out to do one thing – create a superb horror/survival game – and in that, it has delivered magnificently. Just don’t play it with the lights off.'

Reviews are starting to appear: iNews 4/5 Gary Oldman returns as tetchy, sweary spy Jackson Lamb to investigate the murder of a former MI5 agent Evening Standard 4/5 Gary Oldman’s Jackson Lamb is as gravy-stained as ever and we love it The dog-eared spies of Mick Herron’s series are back with another case making a mess of their desks Ready Steady Cut 4/5 Slow Horses is a hilarious, action-packed espionage thriller, bolstered by an award-winning performance from Gary Oldman. Unfortunately, it never equals or surpasses the first season, which felt like a breath of fresh air in the genre. Season two is still entertaining and engrossing though, but loses a little of the original’s spark. Engadget ‘Slow Horses’ settles into a familiar, but welcome, groove

Can I just clarify that you can stack PS+ subscriptions as long as you stay on the same tier? As I've just seen Amazon have 12 months of Extra for £59.85, deal ends today. Didn't want to spend all that money and not be able to stack in onto my current subscription on that tier which run out middle of 2023. Thanks

Reminder season two start this week (2nd). Same format as previously, two episodes to start then one per week, six episodes in total again. For anyone that needs a recap:

Having watched numerous TV and Film adaptations of her work, realised today I've never read a Agatha Christie book. Think this popped my head after starting to watch the Lucy Worsley documentary series on BBC about her, earlier. Can anyone recommend any of her novels which would be a good starting position to try out of hers, just to see if I enjoy her style etc? Thanks

Live action trailer for the game: Not long to wait now, can not see anything yet when the review embargo lifts though.
