Even when she died, in a Parisian palace on New Year's Eve at the age of 84, the jokes on social media kept on coming, like so much sewage in the Seine. 'How do we know she's dead? Her face hasn't moved in years.' And, 'I could have saved her a bunch of money by sticking her head in a bucket of bees'. And, 'Oh no, don't tell me Mickey Rourke has died?!'. But to me and many others who suffer from crippling self-doubt and have committed terrible self-harm, her life and death feel profoundly sad.

Meghan Markle, 43, said she was 'so excited' to share a glimpse of the long-awaited lifestyle programme with her Instagram followers ahead of its launch on January 15. In the first trailer for the series, the Duchess is filmed cooking in a Montecito kitchen, picking produce from her garden and chatting with very famous pals including Mindy Kaling while The Lovin' Spoonful's Do You Believe in Magic plays over the top. But for royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams, the clip was 'Disneyfied' and 'all about' Meghan. He noted how, had the mother-of-two stayed as a senior member of the Royal Family, she could've 'helped in a meaningful way'. Viewers on X appeared to agree with the expert's thoughts, with some taking to the social media platform to call the former actress 'entitled' for cooking meals that 'nobody can afford right now'.

Winter in Britain is finally biting after weeks of milder than average weather. Snow has wreaked havoc and temperatures have plummeted across the country. But, whatever happens, it is unlikely that there will be a repeat of the Big Freeze of 1963, when Britons weathered the most ferocious winter in living memory. In what was the coldest winter for 200 years, even the Thames froze over in places - evoking memories of frost fairs that were held on the river in previous centuries. During unprecedented cold weather that began on Boxing Day in 1962 and continued until March, snow was non-stop in many places, to the point where telephone wires were weighed down until they touched the ground. Temperatures were an average of -2C (28F) for more than two months, whilst in Braemar, Aberdeenshire, they fell as low as -22C (-7.6F).

Terrorism is alive and thriving on American soil. The Biden administration, and the radical left, have the blood of American citizens on their hands. Make no mistake: The dual, horrific New Year's attacks - in New Orleans and Las Vegas - are the direct result of anti-Americanism espoused by progressives, embraced on Ivy League campuses, and enshrined as proof of a virtuous mind.

In the fictional village of Camberwick Green the characters loved by a generation of children never had to worry about big problems such as major housing developments posing a threat to community life. But in Wivelsfield Green, the East Sussex village believed to have inspired the classic children's TV programme, residents are furious at what they see as overdevelopment that is pushing local infrastructure to breaking point. Many fear the mass of house building means the village will never be the same again and a far cry from the quaint village in the 1960s TV series featuring puppet characters such as 'Windy' Miller, Mrs Honeyman the village gossip and Mickey Murphy the baker. There are currently 141 new homes under construction and a 150-home development by Taylor Wimpey is awaiting planning permission, along with other proposed housing schemes.

When a new year in the cinema begins with a film as steeped in horror - and saturated in dread - as Nosferatu, it feels worryingly like a harbinger of things to come. But maybe that's just me. It's only a film. And a very good one. It is a meticulous remake of the silent German picture of the same title, made in 1922. Again, it might just be me, but it seems like a landmark of sorts that cinematic inspiration can now reach back a whole century or even more. Not only that, but the 1922 film was released just 25 years after the publication of Bram Stoker's celebrated novel Dracula, on which it was based. So this version feels umbilically connected to the original story. Yet there might be some unhappy ghostly rumblings. Stoker had died by the time the movie came out but his wife Florence was very much alive to sue the producers for intellectual property theft. She won. They were ordered to hand over all prints and negatives of the film, to be destroyed.

The British toy company that created Jellycats was founded by brothers Thomas and William Gatacre in 1999 - around the same time as American businessman Ty Warner introduced the world to Beanie Babies that became the world's first Internet sensation.
