SANTA CLARITA DIET
The plot of this addictive series revolves around a wife who has some sort of dramatic transformation and develops a penchant for human flesh. Sounds gruesome and ridiculous; isn’ t gruesome, is ridiculous – but in a hugely entertaining way. A stellar performance from A-lister, Drew Barrymore, alongside Timothy Olyphant( you’ ll recognise his face, even if you don’ t recognise his name), delivers a lighthearted dose of quirky hilarity in every bite-size episode.

DURHAM
Early records suggest the area in which Durham now sits dates back as early as 2000 BC, which means it’ s had an awfully long time to build up a really strong culture – notably marked by the city’ s proud cathedral and other Norman architecture that dots its surrounds. Durham’ s trump card lies on the stage however and the city now lays claim to a phenomenal 82 theatres; a hub of the arts, it’ s one of the UK’ s most cultural cities and a must-explore place for anyone with a lust for music, art, drama and dance.

ME TOO! HOUMOUS
Here at Sideways Media, we’ re all obsessed with houmous and it usually finds its way into most lunchtime conversations … Me Too! Houmous is a vegetarian, gluten-free and kosher brand of the delightful dip that’ s made over a threeday process guaranteeing optimum quality and a wonderfully fresh flavour that tastes as though it was made in a small Mediterranean kitchen just a few hours prior to eating. Houmous purists should opt for original, but if you’ re feeling adventurous try jalapeno, lemon and coriander, red chilli, or houmous topped with Egyptian dukkah.
