Plot Development
Peaky Blinders
In the bleak midwinter, amongst horse manure and backhanded business deals, lies the lawless town of Small Heath, Birmingham. Thomas Shelby and his gang of razorblade-wielding peaked-cap-wearing gentlemen, take on all manner of dastardly deeds as he strives to climb the political ladder; proving to be a compelling watch.

The Sopranos
The Sopranos gives us a taste into the underworld of Gangsters and Goomahs. For six seasons we can live amongst the criminal elite and learn the ways of a Mafia Boss, his Consigliere, and his Captains; as Tony, Silvio, Paulie, and Christopher take us on a ride of a lifetime.

Cinderella
Cinderella, like most Disney classics, involves a woman who looks for love in the most bizarre of places. Personally, I hope when my daughter grows up, she has higher standards than a man who has to use a shoe to identify her, because he doesn't recognise her without make-up on.

The All-England Summarize Proust Competition
In Search of Lost Time, written between 1910-1920 Childhood darkens somberly mature while 1880 transitions to 1920. Time is only recoverable through the incidental sensation of the moment, reviving past memories. Dissimulation of complex personal secrets. Densest of books, sensitive universally: a psychedelic soap-opera. Nothing is what it seems: not-so-secretly advocates homosexuality. A true Swann Song: politely told.

True Crime Documentaries
From the comfort of our armchairs, we watch people in their worst moments, reliving unimaginable horrors, and eat our snacks. Providing us with the opportunity to watch murderers succumb to the realisation that they are indeed, caught. Little glimpses into a world far removed from our own, yet dangerously close.

Vocal
You weren’t my first. Probably not my last. But of all the others' past, you’re the one that’s lasted. Vocal, you’re the best writing platform I have found so far. You’ve helped me grow. You’ve made me mad. You’ve made me smile. You’ve made me the writer I am today.

The Giving Tree
The Giving Tree is all we need. It will make you laugh and cry. It will make your heart bleed. Published in 1964. Forever a work we will adore. Not many words. Not many needed. When we learned to care for a tree. We learned more than we ever needed.
