Meryl Streep as Aslan, Bob Mortimer's whimsy and a Christian dinner trend
Here comes the sun doo da doo doo. Partly because the weather is getting better and partly because we’re chatting about the Beatles quadrilogy casting. But that’s not all this week folks; it’s also the whimsy of Bob Mortimer on Off Menu with James Acaster and Bob Mortimer, our feelings about Meryl Streep as Aslan, the surprising popularity of Beth Allison’s Barr’s Becoming the Pastor's Wife, our disinterest in the latest Celebrity Big Brother and the rise of the Shabbat dinner.
