Whoever has this account is a genius. It's very worthwhile going back through the archive of videos on there, really superb. It's art.

Yeah, I'm with you. Even before RDZ was mentioned two years ago, there were two or three other names being bandied about, one I think I'd even heard of. If KM is as good as people say he is, of course he'd be on a shortlist of 4 or 5 at least, but Paul Barber has said (BBC Albion podcast I...

I think it's all been such a shame. Imagine that the last couple of weeks had never happened - we'd all be really excited for the new season, with everyone back. Bugger.

That's good, I hope they make more of the series too. May nip into the local library then this weekend!

Shardlake (Disney). I don't know the books, but this was a really good watch, solid, unflashy, with much more nuance than I expected. Think Poirot in the 1500s. And in a first, Sean Bean doesn't die (well, he's playing Cromwell so he does die, but not just yet...presumably).

This was great. Season 1 ushered in the new wave of true crime docs - much as Serial did in podcast form - and season 2 wasn't the difficult second album by any stretch. If you've ever been in any doubt as to the terribly grubby and corrupting influence of money, this will dispel those doubts...

I've never quite got over the Radio 5 hoohah years ago, when Fi Glover - who I adore - left her show/took a sabbatical, due in part, I later found out, to her husband having an affair with Vic. D. Still makes me sad inside :cry: No Derbyshire for me thanks.

Perhaps a bluetooth speaker? My Alexa wants to connect to Audible all the time...?

I've been pondering this series, and my reaction to it. Much like "I May Destroy You", I couldn't relate to it all - which isn't a criticism in the slightest, just that I was aware I was far from the target audience. That old cliché, about getting a bit older and seeing the world go on without...

The special effects chap speaks at length at how everything 'digital' in the film is analogue, everything. How they did it is worth a manual on its own. They even used cotton wool...

A heads-up for The Jinx, season 2. Starts with the events of the day after the broadcast of the last episode of season 1, and even though we know in the main what's happened since, it has already unearthed some rather eye-opening goings-on. Can't binge it as it's released weekly but it does feel...

I finished RoboDoc over the weekend and absolutely Loved it. I'm glad I rewatched the film beforehand (it's actually better than I remember), for the tiny little details they dive deep into. interviews with the stop-motion guys, the armourer, the make up people, the actors who had 2 minutes (if...

They're 2nd. Why?

From Barney Ronay on Twitter, & I endorse this message - How can teams like Brighton realistically hope to beat or disrupt Manchester City when their entire game is basically a Guardiola tribute with less illustrious players? One reason City are so utterly dominant domestically is every young...

Just finished this too, and agree with everything you say. It took me a couple of episodes to get on board with the whole 60s/mannered/bored rich class way of conducting themselves, but once I did, was swept up indeed all the way through. There are frequent moments of high black comedy in some...

I've just grinned myself silly watching the first part of this, so so so entertaining - and proper 'behind the scenes' fascinating. I'm going to watch the film again before carrying on, there're so many little details they point out, I really should have them fresh in my mind. What a joy!

I chanced upon it today too (what a great goal by Gordon Smith by the way) and as the credits rolled, the music's composer - ? Jeff "WotW" Wayne. On a par with Hans Zimmer and Going for Gold!

For some reason, the 2003 shuttle disaster didn't impact me as much as it should have. Perhaps 9/11 had recently dulled our abilities to be as shocked by tragedy. I don't know. Still, this is superb and wow, moving. Not only does it reinforce what an astoundingly monumental achievement the...

Made me smile....
