He made some great saves so it wasn’t undeserved, but I wondered if there were other unusual PotM awards,” says John Barrow.This season’s Champions League tie between Real Madrid and Atlético will be remembered for Julián Alvarez’s two-touch penalty being ruled out.

2 w. ago Malpractice season two review – relentlessly tense TV that will leave you terrified

Who would you treat first – a woman with postpartum psychosis, or a pregnant crack addict about to be sectioned? This brilliant show looks at the impossible decisions one doctor has to make that ends in tragedyTwo years ago, former NHS doctor Grace Ofori-Attah created the relentlessly tense first series of Malpractice, a tale of an A&E doctor whose errors under impossible pressure, combined with the inexperience and equal stresses of others, resulted in the death of a patient. Then things escalated. It took in topical medical subjects – primarily the creeping problem of opioid addiction – alongside social issues, including the manifold effects of the pandemic, the prevalence of burnout, the bureaucratic inefficiencies that hinder staff and patients, the institutional buck-passing and arse-covering that greet any type of mistake, and the potential for corruption that exists in any large organisation.

3 w. ago Question 7 by Richard Flanagan audiobook review – a bold memoir of life and near

History and autobiography are brilliantly intertwined as the Booker-winning author explores the choices and chance connections that shape our existenceAt the start of this boldly experimental memoir, the Booker prize-winning author Richard Flanagan visits the site of a Japanese labour camp where his late father was interned during the second world war and where he ends up awkwardly having his photo taken with a former guard, Mr Sato. The war ended weeks after the US launched an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, killing 60,000 people in less than a minute. That bomb also led to Flanagan’s father, then days from death, being freed, which in turn allowed him to father a child who would grow up to become a writer. “How many people need to die in order that you might read this book?” Flanagan asks.Question 7, named after a riddle posed by Chekhov, is a book about the connections and choices that shape our lives, for better or worse. Flanagan is the narrator, his reading by turns mournful, reflec...
