There’s plenty to enjoy in “Bay Of Squids,” as there is in (almost) every episode of
Legends Of Tomorrow. The people who make this show love to have a good time, and that’s as obvious here as ever; it’s the kind of episode that tempts one to pop a Gideon edible or two and simply enjoy the ride. But more unusually, there’s also a messiness that’s not a result of the wildness of the plot, nor the admittedly twisty lives of the characters. Instead, for the first time in some time,
Legends finds itself struggling with tone, and for a show that can make a fight set to Sisqo’s “Thong Song” just a little bit moving, that’s quite a surprise. And while it’s not a terrible episode by any stretch of the imagination, the very best thing about it is the promises it makes about what’s to come. Could be worse. Could also be a lot better.

The six years since his last album have been tough for Tom Jones. The singer lost Linda, his wife of 59 years, in 2016 and also found himself in hospital with a bacterial infection.
As he was leaving the ward, his doctors suggested it might be time for him to slow down a bit. He politely rejected their advice: ‘That was a red rag to a bull,’ he says.
He has since resumed his role as a coach on ITV talent show The Voice, where he is a wise mentor to aspiring singers, and today releases his 41st album.
