This Leeds Bar are hosting a Rocky Horror themed Bottomless Brunch on Halloween
I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey to the only bottomless brunch any Rocky Horror Picture Show fan show be attending this Halloween.
This Halloween brunch is the perfect spot to spend the spookiest day of the year, but you may find yourself shouting "If only we were amongst friends... or sane persons" every once in a while.
On Sunday 31 October, grab yourself a place at the only Rocky Horror Picture Show brunch you'll want to attend.
Hot patootie, bless my soul. I really love that rock n' roll. Make sure to come in your finest fancy dress and shoes you can actually dance in as this fun-filled afternoon will have you on your feet for quite some time.
Combining the classic Rocky Horror Picture Show with the horror of Halloween: the two sittings at 11am and 6.30pm will have you the time warp again and again, regardless of which time you choose to attend.
Expect singing, dancing and even a Rocky Horror themed quiz to find out who the true fans of the Picture Show are. There will be prizes for both best dressed and top scorers, so come prepared to wow the judges with the answer to the question: whatever happened to Fay Wray?

All this time warping will surely work up an appetite, so tuck into a delicious brunch fit for any one of the cast.
Choose from a traditional Brunch Grill: your classic meaty English breakfast or opt for a gluten free version. Vegetarians and vegans will also be well catered for with a smashed avocado dish topped with tomatoes, chili flakes, coriander and Sriracha sauce.
If you're more sweet than savoury for breakfast, dip into a stack of pancakes layered with bananas and blueberries, with plenty of jam and nutella to pour over.
Prefer brunch to be bottomless? Well, it is Halloween after all. Upgrade to keep the booze and soft drinks flowing for the full experience.
Classics like Aperol Spritz, prosecco and Amstel will be available in the bottomless upgrade, in addition to Ketel V&T, 0% Heineken and selected soft drinks.
It wouldn't be a Halloween bottomless brunch without a Bloody Mary though, so take full advantage of the endless cocktails available and grab yourself a spooky mix to get into the Halloween spirit.
Although, that's a rather tender subject, another slice of brunch anyone?
After being 'missing' for decades, a long-lost episode of The Morecambe and Wise Show is set to air on the BBC this month.
In what is already gearing up to be a memorable moment, the episode - which was first broadcast on the BBC on 16 September 1968, and was thought to have been lost forever before being recovered - will be shown on BBC Four and BBC iPlayer in a couple of weeks time to coincide with when Eric Morecambe would have turned 100 years old.
The episode was discovered by Film Is Fabulous! - which is a charitable trust run by film collectors and television enthusiasts.
It was found in the estate of a former television industry professional, before being returned to the BBC.
Audiences tuning in to the episode can expect to see sketches written by Sid Green and Dick Hills - with Ann Hamilton appearing as Pauline in a sketch set in a nudist colony, while Jenny Lee-Wright plays Eric’s niece, a balloon dancer.
📢 ‘Missing’ episode of The Morecambe and Wise Show is coming to the BBC!
A long-lost episode first broadcast in 1968 will be shown on BBC Four and @BBCiPlayer on Thursday 14 May, to coincide with when Eric Morecambe would have turned 100
It also includes a musical performance from The Paper Dolls, who enjoyed hits in the 1960s.
This 'lost' programme is the third episode from Morecambe and Wise’s first series after returning to the BBC, following a period working with commercial television.
Eric Morecambe’s daughter, Gail, has described the recovery of the episode as 'a lovely surprise', adding: "I’m really looking forward to seeing it on a screen once again after so many years."
Gary Morecambe, Eric's son, added: "I honestly didn’t think there was anything out there left to find, and when something like this comes out of nowhere, it’s really quite wonderful. Hats off to Professor Justin Smith and his team, whose dedication and hard work brought this gem back to us. I’m very excited about seeing it for the first time since I was 12."
This long-lost episode of The Morecambe and Wise Show will be broadcast on BBC Four at 8pm on on Thursday 14 May, and available to watch whenever you like on BBC iPlayer from then.

The world’s smallest pub is opening in Leeds’ biggest beer garden this weekend
Clementine Hall
A teeny tiny micro-pub is coming to Leeds city centre this bank holiday weekend.
This weekend, from Saturday 2 to Sunday 3 May, Rita’s in Leeds will host the arrival of a travelling micro-pub dubbed the World’s Smallest, beating out World Record holders, in their huge beer garden.
Licor 43's Tiny Taberna features a 2.15m x 1.5m space that has been drawing crowds across the UK for doing something very simple, very well: shrinking the pub experience down to its absolute smallest form and pairing it with one of the country’s most talked-about viral drinks trends.
You won't be able to get your average pint here though, this adorable little bar will only serve Rita’s Mini Beer, commonly known as the Baby Beer.

The Baby Beer is a shot made with Licor 43 and topped with a creamy layer to mimic the look of a perfectly poured pint. And trust us, it's just as delicious as it is cute.
Made with Licor 43, mixed with a velvety layer of cream liqueur, the flavour is indulgent with notes of vanilla, caramel and creamy sweetness.

You may have seen these drinks online too, with videos of the Baby Beer going viral across social media racking up millions of views.
Styled as a Spanish-inspired bar, the Tiny Taberna invites you to gather with mates, step inside and enjoy a Baby Beer in this immersive and fun space. Obviously, you'll have to take some great pics for the gram too.
Rita’s beer garden, already known as one of the city’s largest, will not only play host to the pint-sized pub, but will also be serving their usual cocktail menu throughout the weekend.

The Tiny Taberna will be at Rita’s Leeds for two days only, from Saturday 2nd to Sunday 3rd May, serving Mini Beers from 7-9pm.
The best part? Those who purchase any beer this Bank Holiday weekend will be able to claim a free Mini Beer from the installation with a voucher. We'll see you there.
