It's every bit as dramatic, bizarre and out-there as the documentary 🐅

timeout.com/news/5-wild-re…
Hey cool cats and kittens, Tiger King is back. Well, sort of: the dramatisation of everyone’s favourite lockdown true-crime story and big cat feud, Joe vs. Carole, has arrived. And like the story it’s based on, it’s wilder than a pride of lions.

Here's why you should tune in 👇
🐅The casting is purrfect

Kate McKinnon and Cameron Mitchell have found the humanity as well as the humour in their characters. Mitchell captures Exotic’s hunger for attention. While McKinnon gives Baskin gravitas: her ambition and motivations are underpinned by loss and sadness

The hamlet of Edelweiss could be yours for £1.3 million 🇨🇦

timeout.com/news/this-eeri…
Lots of us have thought about making a big move abroad of late. That’s what two years largely confined to your hometown does to you. Still keeping the dream alive in 2022? Well, you should know an entire abandoned village in Canada has just gone up for sale, and it looks amazing
The hamlet of Edelweiss in British Columbia was built in 1910 for the Swiss guides and mountaineers who relocated to help tourists traverse the Rocky Mountains. The town’s buildings were built in a charming Alpine style, designed to mimic traditional European chalets

One night at the Mexican pad costs more than the average annual salary in the UK 🏝️

timeout.com/news/the-too-h…
With its huge thatched atrium, stunning beach location, luxuriant garden and impressive variety of swimming pools, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the Casa Tau in the Mexican resort town of Punta Mita is just a typical – albeit very, very posh – holiday pad

No beloved tourist attraction is safe from these keyboard warriors 😱

“Absolutely awful. Too many French people thought it was funny to throw croissants and pain aux chocolate at me! Not a fun experience”
“They wouldn’t let us in. Even though it was cold and rainy outside. The guards couldn’t even smile for a second. The Queen refused to open the door or even wave at the window”

It's time to swap Spain for a Scottish island or space 🏝️

timeout.com/news/five-stro…
The Love Island villa is on the move. Well, the villa itself isn’t moving anywhere – but the show is moving from its previous location on the Spanish island of Majorca. So obviously there’s one big question on everyone’s lips: where are the islanders heading?
For now, Love Island bosses haven’t confirmed a new location. They have said, however, that it’s pretty likely the show will stay in Majorca – and simply migrate to another villa. But let’s be honest, that would be boring. Very boring. Why not mix things up a bit?
