Rhiannon watched Hamilton live and Alex has finally gleaned a recommendation that Rhiannon will actually like. Rhiannon was entranced by Martin Freeman’s transformation in his thought-provoking ‘The Responder’ as it explores the nuances of the penal system. Alex has been reading Levy’s memoir and attempting to trace its links to Orwell’s Why I Write. And finally, both Alex and Rhiannon tell stories of their experiences of sharing bodily fluids with James McAvoy. Signing off, the Best of Wives and the Best of Women, Alex and Rhiannon
