News: The Best Donald Trump Spoof Twitter Account

It’s the ultimate mash-up nobody could have predicted. Donald Trump has collided with Bridget Jones in the parody Twtter account Bridget Trump’s Diary.

TV Review: Chewing Gum, E4

It’s good to have Chewing Gum back. It’s very different to any other series I’ve seen recently, while at the same time it has echoes of the BBC hit Fleabag, which it preceded. If that programme was all Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s idea about contemporary attitudes to sex, then Chewing Gum is very much Michaela Coel’s view of modern romance.
