No, there’s no thievery, plotting or threats involved, we just understand the desire to finally take a seat back in front of the big screen and lose yourself in a new cinematic story. So, to give you that escape, we’ve lined up some pocket-friendly tickets for you to see the hilariously fun blockbuster The Suicide Squad. The perfect madcap antidote to the monotony of the daily grind, The Suicide Squad is unhinged mayhem with a sprinkle of tentative camaraderie, a dose of emotional depth and a heady glug of deviously dark comedy.

An air of mystery still hangs over this beautiful country, found at the juncture between Europe and Asia, yet intrepid backpackers have already started exploring its storybook towns and snow-cloaked pine forests. Follow their example and while away the days whizzing down mountains, sipping the nectar of the gods in ancestral wine cellars and digging into traditional feasts cooked up by the enormously welcoming locals.

Retreat into the (reclaimed) wood walls of this cloud-brushing bolthole and you’ll encounter a green paradise in every sense of the word. Rooms are a portal back to childhood – silver birch tree trunks pierce through bathroom tiling, endearing sloth toys sit on organic bedding and cushioned window nooks are perfect for sipping tea while gazing at views of cinematic city landmarks. Fabricated around the concept of sustainability, Treehouse London has minimised single-use plastics and committed to a recycling and composting scheme. Locally sourced products are also dotted around the rooms, while Mexican restaurant Madera lives up to the eco-conscious hype with an array of organic ingredients.

The Bike and Boot won’t blink twice if you trudge in with a mud-flecked bike, soaked-through jeans or sand between your toes. The hotel acknowledges the adventurous allure of its coastal location with forward-thinking amenities such as a boot-washing station, changing facilities and secure bike and surfboard storage. Dogs are not just welcome, they’re wanted, with the dog-friendly rooms thoughtfully stocked with toys, grooming products and towels to dry off dirty paws. In each, vintage Scarborough posters double as blinds and pops of tangerine add warmth, while some also have enviable views of the sea.

Otherworldly British Columbia, wedged between the Pacific Ocean and Rocky Mountains, is home to some of the best landscapes Mother Nature has to offer. The snow-cloaked peaks are replete with buzzing ski resorts and the National Parks studded with numerous campsites. If you’re looking to swap the bright lights of Vancouver for sun-dappled woodland but hesitant to give up modern luxuries, give glamping a go. Located throughout the region, these picturesque sites are the perfect way to dip your toe in the world of camping without going overboard.

Vestiges of a storied past can be found at Restaurant Katrina Christiansen, with an old kerosene pump from its days as a general store and early work by the Faroese author William Heinesen, who grew up here. Today, it is a popular restaurant with tons of historic charm and a diverse menu. Dig into tasty tapas such as home-smoked salmon and Spanish tomato salad, treat yourself to a charcuterie board of cured meats and cheese, or savour the rich flavours of a traditional Faroese meal.

This medieval stone and cob longhouse, on the edge of Dartmoor, has wonky beams, bumpy walls and crooked ceilings that match the untamed nature of the moors. Wake up to the sound of birdsong, then tuck into a complimentary locally sourced breakfast before slipping on your wellies for long walks through dew-laced woodland. If the wind looks particularly fierce, retreat to your room and relax with a good book in the sheepskin-draped window nook.

With its turreted facade, ensconced in evergreen forest and backed by the rugged peaks of the Rockies, Fairmont Banff Springs seems plucked from a fairytale. You can take a dip in the spa’s mineral pool – lined by stone pillars and gushing waterfalls that recreate the natural ambience of hot springs – breathe in fresh mountain air while sinking a few holes on the championship golf course or sip on a floral, Negroni-inspired Wild Flower cocktail in Rundle Bar.

We can breathe a sigh of relief that the ranch's own rodeo-competing Humpty Dumpty is (almost) in one piece. Jimmy survived the grim ending we were left with last week, and the scare clearly tugged on the concrete-dipped heartstrings of John Dutton as we see him waiting by the bedside when the battered ranch hand wakes. As he goes on to imply that the bills are taken care of, and steers Jimmy towards a new (less dangerous) career, it is welcoming to see a touch of tenderness among the manly man gruffness that normally dominates the show.

From the start of the season Strike Back has been living up to its adrenaline-pumping, ass-kicking, blow-s***-up name but this time there seems to be something different – something that I didn’t manage to put my finger on until it was too late...
