This week's edit - 5th September 2016























Seeing
The i360 is a new observation tower in Brighton.  162 metres tall, it is a stunning piece of design and engineering and obviously has wonderful views across the sea and South Downs.

Watching
Cafe Society is Woody Allen's latest film and it is somewhere in the middle between his best works and his worst.  It's lightweight and forgettable but with a lovely central performance from Kristen Stewart and some truly beautiful styling and cinematography.

Reading
Amy Schumer's first book, The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo, is exactly what you'd expect - hilarious, heartfelt and frank to the point of embarrassment.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.  I saw her do her standup live this weekend too, and that's where she really excels.

Booking
The BFI London Film Festival programme has been announced and booking opens to the public on 15th September.  Priorities for me and my ticket booking fingers will be La La Land, Nocturnal Animals, Arrival and Free Fire.

Listening
This week is #trialweek on The Archers, the culmination of the slow-burning story of domestic abuse and coercive control between Rob and Helen.  It's clearly well-researched and powerful stuff.
