It was so interesting to speak to marine ecologist @BD_Stew about the changes happening in our oceans. Also spoke to @DevonWildlife and Snorkeler Heather Hamilton who shared the amazing things she’s seen underwater. Full story 👇🏻 https://t.co/BEN0bujPsx

Wow. Just finished watching #Adolescence. Absolutely fantastic - from each episode being shot in one take, to the poignant and important themes in the plot, right down to the performances of the entire cast. Well worth a watch. I couldn’t take my eyes off it all the way through!
