The reference didn’t go unnoticed by viewers (Picture: Netflix/PA)Warning: spoilers ahead for The Sandman. The Sandman has released a new bonus episode to add to its 10-part season on Netflix, which features a throwaway comment in the dialogue that appears to take aim at JK Rowling.

Our daughter was 5 years old when we split. Now, all these years later, my daughter called and said that she wants to “meet her brother.” I was shocked and said, “What?!” “Yeah,” she said, “Mom told me that you have a son with a woman.” Um, 100 percent not true.

Of course it’s Real Housewives that is gifting us a master class on good TV. I can already hear Nathan Fielder fans cracking their knuckles, getting ready to let their fingers fly typing tweets of protest and harrumphs.

In response to the losses that marked the end of the briefest of honeymoon periods, United opened talks with Juventus over a deal for Adrien Rab...
