    Review The Works of Shakespeare

    A bit of effort to tune in the first time, maybe...but not "very" dated, compared to Chaucer (which I also did at school - and we got told off if we talked about "translating" it). There are occasional words we don't use any more, but fewer than people often think. Words Shakespeare was...

    Review Deadpool (2016)

    Yep, second time just as good if not better- this could be the start of a beautiful friendship with Mr Pool... but big NO to the pineapple on pizza; ah well, every bloke has to have some sort of tragic flaw, and that must be his,

    Review Modern Who Companions

    Total prat, Rory could take him with an eyebrow, but would much rather have had more of him than - wotsername - his boring girlfriend.

    Review The TENNANT Doctor

    I know what you mean, but we pretty much did - it's just that neither he nor we knew it at the time.

    Review Gevevieve (1953)

    A classic! So much of its time and so loveable because of it - from the hotel receptionist who would turn Basil Fawlty grey with horror to the outrage of the drunken trumpet challenge... an absolutely blissful, slightly remorseful, evisceration of the male ego at fairly slow speeds, with some...

    Review History Captured on Film

    IN Leeds, 200 miles away - so I think the term we're striving towards might be "alibi"? But you're right to draw parallels - the Ripper murders feel like the dark ages, but overlapped the birth of cinema. Like an episode of QI which pointed out that hundred, if not thousands, of people who...

    Fun Foods You Won't Eat!

    My reaction exactly - not just: would never eat, but would walk straight out of any bakery she went into that had visible meringues for sale and would have to leave a cafe if a nearby customer ordered one... this is not just a shrug and a "go figure" deal for me - we share significant DNA here!

    Review The TENNANT Doctor

    You know how much I enjoy your polls, Doc - but this time I'm revolting. You've tried to bamboozle us with a BOGUS POLL - there is no either/ or. I demand (pretty please) a third option - TWO brilliant Masters for the price of one stunning episode, Or I'm taking my ball home, capiche?

    Fun The Last Movie That You Watched?

    Deadpool - so good I watched my shiny new DVD TWO days running. He shares every negative thought I've ever had about Marvel superheroes. I feel validated - and also outrageously conned - Marvel are tapping into anti-Marvel sentiments with this, and I don't care, I bloody love it. And Morena...

    Fun Foods You Won't Eat!

    I don't even understand why some people aren't grossed out by that :emoji_confounded: I'm also very cautious when I'm offered a poached egg in case it tuns out to be one of those just dropped into boiling water and swished around, leaving it with soggy, straggly bits.

    Review Cartoons

    Oh the horror - but only in a bad, inept way. Like giving Tom and Jerry voices...DO NOT mess with the classics, guys!

    Fun Foods You Won't Eat!

    @divemaster13 Sympathy about the tomatoes - your taste buds have done you a very bad turn there. As for liver - stick in in pate, stick it in a haggis and I'm happy. But slabs of grey, scuzzy liver with huge bits of tube were one of the horrors of school dinners, and I could never ever face it...
