I'd simply recommend Rose, the first episode of the first series of the new era. So much of rewatching old episodes (which have been lately idolised as Classic Who is nostalgia for pour childhood, I think. Absolutely nothing wrong with that of course, but the new generation of viewers who...

Well, I saw it underage on its first release, decades before I'd ever heard of Dr Kermode - and I didn't know he thought that - I usually like his reviews but "best film ever" seems a bit OTT here. It's still a chilling film, even though the production values are of its era they still work fine...

I don't think that's a nerd thing at all - well done your ancestors for keeping track. Hope you have a chance to come over and root around for bonus facts some time!

Thanks, Doc, that was a really interesting read.

Maybe that's what lead to the whole sordid "otter" incident...

Totally - the little Adipose were so sweet, and harmless as far as I could tell, until Mad Nanny went all doomsday switch on the process. The Doctor waved them off cheerfully too, and his instincts for a wrong 'un are to be trusted. I think perhaps the excellent Russell T. has the credit for...

That's wonderful - they are beautiful - thanks you so much for the extra details. And the Viking thing - as a Yorkshire woman I'd be very surprised (and horrified) if my DNA were tested and didn't come back with a healthy contribution from ancestral Norse "guests"! I can't wait to get home for...

Albert is the king of the castle! The Penguin an honourable firast reserve. Will Smith's Mrs is superfluous to requirements and Morena Tiddleypush another waste of space - how can she be so good in Firefly, and Deadpool but crap in this? Took a while for it to find itself: old school mob...

Yes, I actually remember that - I'd still like to hear more from Lordi, Conchita and Abba (whatever happened to them?)

I think I'm currently waiting for s.7 to start on Five, so it'll be a while. And by the state of that clip, I'll need plenty of time to brace myself. Thanks for sharing!

Probably my favourite. The shit gets real. The kids do proper acting. Time travel. Werewolves. Magic! Next question?

Ramble On, my friend - this is a Very Big Ponderable and I'm sure there isn't one right answer. We're growing up and learning some things that (shit) our grandparents already knew, but were too busy enjoying our kiddy innocence to tell us - Whoever you vote for, you get a politician. Wars...

Such as My Beautiful Launderette, East is East, Anita and Me and Bride and Prejudice? Great films, and that's without even starting on Merchant and Ivory's wonderful catalogue.

Hi Nick - it's been a month or so but you still haven't told us where this is! Please tell more - it's fascinating. Or - if you don't - very frustrating!

Hux, I love you for this - also, please consider my gob well and truly bitch-smacked. (seriously, is this an episode yet to raise its head over here?) Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! |And also Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! And, err, huh? OK clearly script in the vicinity of some Geordie-aware phrasing...

I think his best work is right here and now, trolling Trump - short sweet tweets that raise a giggle and, with his fan base, hopefully rock the boat like IT surging to the surface red in tooth and claw. I like this man. He can write, and think, and do the right thing. Doesn't get much better...

Also funny (at least to me) is when brave American actors do their best English accents to economise on hiring token real Brits on American TV. Woe betide them when these shows (and I mean good stuff I really like, like CSI, Castle etc) are then shown in Britain, where we fall about howling at...

One well two - of my favourites, and I never noticed that Lift sign because I would expect it to say exactly that - you're right. Maybe they went for the option that younger British viewers would easily understand - or, of course, just a cockup.

I've just voted "no" so you deserve an explanation: haven't enjoyed a Bond film since Goldeneye - haven't seen one since the one after that (whatever it was called - blah). Ultimately, Le Carre trumps Fleming, and on the small screen it''s me for a box set of Spooks any day. Shouty, gadgety...

Sorry, Elliot, looks like I took so long writing my last one I skipped yours completely - wasn't ignoring you! Were there specific soggy bits you would have removed? Streuth - seeing it in the cinema was so long ago, and I've watched it on TV so many times since, I think nostalgia overrules...
