Yesterday, Sunday 28th May 2017, I watched Philomena for the first time – four years after it was released.

Here’s what I thought…

• Breech birth. Crikey.
• I’ve never met anyone called Philomena. But I know someone called Filomena.
• Judy Dench said clitoris
• It’s hard to poke fun at things in this
• I have never cried so uncontrollably at a film before
