The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse by Charlie Mackesy I adore poetry, but even as a literature student, sometimes I am not necessarily in the mood, but still crave the poetic hug - if that makes any sense at all. This one is the one that I reach for in (not only) those times. Every page offers incredibly beautiful illustrations and the most heart-warming words you can imagine.

This has made exercising even easier, as they are around a 20-minute walk from my second-year house, so I can get my steps in as well.

Cory:First of all, I just want to thank our incredible writer’s, without you the transformation of this wonderful section would not have happened, you have engaged, encouraged and indulged in every single one of our ideas- so thank you!When taking on the role of TV Sub-Editor I had lots of new ideas, from making the section more North East centric to shining the light on key issues that are faced by many in one of the world’s most popular mediums (that being TV of course!).

Image: IMDbNighty Night took the viciously cruel landscape of the noughties comedy scene, which also saw the rise of Steve Coogan, Ricky Gervais and Chris Morris to name a few and made it her own. The humour was so close to the bone and was often much more sickom than sitcom. As a result, Nighty Night epitomised the noughties dark comedy scene.
