| From Timothée Chalamet in New York to Paul Mescal in Dublin, a wave of lookalike competitions have taken place across the globe in recent months (with more slated for December).

Also in this edition is a review of Lily-Rose Depp and Nicholas Hoult's new vampire film Nosferatu, plus you can watch footage of a forgotten street that was discovered behind a hidden library door in Edinburgh. Happy reading and I'll be back in your inbox on Tuesday!
