The 2024 top of the crop had a distinctly thespian theme – gays and the arts. Could it be any more of a cliché? Or maybe it just reflects a need for a distraction in worrying times. Who knows?

Happy New Year to the two of you and may 2025 be wonderful for you.

And of course we have a new president to look forward to in 11 days.
