I did feel like "maybe zombie disease already exists"
"A Party Room and a Prison Cell: Inside the Friends writers' room"
Always fascinating to hear how these things worked.
"Another really clear explanation of why HS2 is vital for improving Britain's railway infrastructure"
That sounds persuasive to me. HS2 is a topic that always feels weird to me, because I tend to find the "HS2 is boring but necessary infrastructure improvement" argument persuasive, but enough people I trust are on the "HS2 is a stupid vanity project" side that I find it hard to discount it, even when there aren't specifics. (And, I mean, I admit if it's a choice between HS2 and upgrading the infrastructure in the rest of the country, that would be more important, but I don't think there's a choice between them like that.)
