I am surprised at how often 2013 feels like a lifetime ago, in political terms at least. That was the year the late Rob Ford, then mayor of Toronto, was reported to have been filmed smoking crack cocaine. He denied it, twisting the allegations into what he suggested was a smear campaign by an untrustworthy, left-leaning mainstream media.

A mother-of-two who used to cancel nights out because she felt like “the fat one” has lost two stone in two months after turning to celebrity weight-loss jab Mounjaro.

Luckily, I’ve found the antidote in a corner of Reddit called Mighty Harvest Every spring and summer, when I come home from the allotment smug with the success of one radish, or five peas (and that is individual peas), or the handful of semi-squashed raspberries so unappealing the birds have rejected them, I think about a popular corner of Reddit called Mighty Harvest.

At the end of the first series of The Gold, it dawned on the officers of the Met’s Flying Squad that for all of their multiple investigations into the infamous Brink’s-Mat robbery of 1983, they had only ever been chasing half of the stolen bullion. Arriving two years after its highly entertaining predecessor, series two sets off with an irresistible premise: what exactly happened to the rest of it?

In 1964, Andy Warhol shot the Empire State Building then turned it into an art film called Empire, which is more than eight hours long. I was reminded of this last Christmas when I let my nine-year-old niece choose what to watch on TV. She went straight to the YouTube app and pressed play on a video comparing US and UK chocolate bars. It went into such a tremendous amount of detail that I was mesmerised, not by the content but by how brazenly boring it was. It went on for what felt like hours.
