‪Filming v film.

How the scene from The Running Man looked while Edgar Wright was shooting it and how it looks in the latest trailer.

The Barbican - standing in for dystopian futures since the 1970s.

Screenshot from The Running Man trailer. Rear view of man approaching gates under a bridge, flanked by black-armoured security guards. A forbidding cityscape surrounds.

Bridge over a road. Below, gates flanked by fluorescent green panels with three actors in front of them. Various cameras set up for filming. Day.

What are the odds? Roadworks and water leak create little canal in front of house where painter called Little Canal lived.

Romanesque, circular, blue plaque and words stating that Canaletto lived in the house on which it is placed.

Day. View down street with red barriers along pavement. Centre of road has shallow trench dug in the middle and is filled with water.

Invaders spotted in Soho.

Enjoyed the mini exhibition, Rearview Mirror: Liverpool–London–Paris, at the Gagosian gallery in London, a series of photos and contact sheets taken by Paul McCartney just before The Beatles went global. Catch it before it closes.

“The free, open access communications paradigm we have did not arrive like magic. It was the product of a fair amount of political wrangling” - that's why we must continue our fight for the web.

To start your day, a celebration of river wildlife in Hertford UK knitted by locals and covering all the bollards. Fabulous!

The fan-vaulted cloisters of Gloucester Cathedral.

A view down a cloister. Walls of white stone. Ceiling of white stone and with intricate fan vaulting.

#BornWithTeeth preview at the Wyndhams tonight. Central premise fails to convince but it's witty, intelligent, irreverent, insightful & well-staged, with superb performances from Ncuti Gatwa & Edward Bluemel. A great evening out. Highly recommended.

Carved wooden angel looks up towards quire lights. Black background.

Final performance of #MrsWarrensProfession at the Garrick Theatre. Pitch-perfect performances and an intelligent, sophisticated play that dives into issues of gender, capitalism, power, hypocrisy and relationships. And funny. Great stuff.

Four electrical junction boxes in street painted with two adult swans left and right, and two cygnets painted on the smaller ones, centre.

A Man For All Seasons at the Harold Pinter Theatre tonight. Good to see that one of the best plays of the 20th century works as well on the stage as on the page. Good performances all round, led by Martin Shaw and Gary Wilmot. Strongly recommended.

Enjoyed A Role To Die For on Tuesday, followed by an intelligent and interesting post-show Q&A with Terri Paddock. A fun evening out with plenty of laughs, and our first visit to the Marylebone Theatre. Recommended.
