For years, companies have structured their business strategies around the funnel — and it worked.

The first date is an exploratory one. You meet for a low-key coffee, drink or meal, and you size each other up for mutual interests and sensibilities.

I’ll say this about Netflix’s Dracula: It was certainly unpredictable. Or maybe its quick descent from greatness to a steaming pile of doggy doodoo was entirely predictable because Steven Moffat — who, according to my Doctor Who and Sherlock-watching friends, is great at starting stories but terrible at finishing them — created this version of

While the festive period does have its upsides (admittedly mostly food and booze-related), it also has a tendency to leave us all feeling a little sartorially sapped come 1 January.
