31 h. ago Daisy May and Charlie Cooper’s NightWatch: their hilarious ghost show is a warm

The Bafta-winning siblings bicker, fart and squeal the night away in some of the UK’s ‘haunted as hell’ hotspots. But forget the ghosts – this is really just a golden opportunity to weep with laughterA full moon looms, a synthesiser gulps and – dun dun duuuuuuuun – we’re off to HMP Gloucester in a Skoda Octavia with Daisy May and Charlie Cooper’s NightWatch (Sunday 26 October, 9.30pm, BBC Two). Why HMP Gloucester? Because the former Victorian prison is, according to our hosts – the titular, Bafta-winning siblings behind peerless mockumentary This Country – “supposedly haunted as hell.” A fitting setting, then, for the first episode of a series that finds lifelong paranormal enthusiasts Daisy May (39) and Charlie (36) stuff their slippers into the aforementioned family hatchback and set off to spend a night bickering and farting “in some of this country’s spookiest places.”An opening montage offers further elucidation. “Some people want to climb Everest,” explains Charlie while a the...

When our family board game night got cancelled, I sampled digital spins on the classics instead. I’m not sure I should have bothered – with one exception I don’t play video game versions of board games. Why would you? The whole point of video games is to be faster, more visually arresting, and less reliant on other humans than old games played with dice and cards. But a recent family board game night was derailed by clashing schedules and family civil war, so I spent a Saturday night trying them out on the iPhone instead.I started with Uno because that is the old family staple. We still use the Simpsons Uno set we got decades ago. It is simple and comforting, the chicken soup of card games. The iOS version is a different consommé altogether. A three-minute time limit for each round means it is as much about avoiding mistakes as it is about tactics. I like this development, but I miss the family banter (and ruthless switching allegiances) of our real-life family version. It’s not the...
