    Review Friends (1994)

    Yes - but I think there was a one-off dud American remake of Coupling as well. Again, there was verging on too much How I Met Your Mother for my taste; I surfeited then took to dippin in and out the first time round and now still sometimes see episodes on E4 that are new to me - and we'd need...

    Review When the Wind Blows (1986)

    Yes, but capable of causing the same amount of gibbering as Threads, just a couple of years earlier which is no mean feat for a cartoon.

    Review Friends (1994)

    True about the writing I just think it outstayed it welcome a bit. And actually preferred "Coupling", which would be fun to see again.

    Review Friends (1994)

    A pretty speedy rebound for sure, but she said she wanted to split up - he should have whipped his box set out and proved it to her.

    Review Friends (1994)

    If they were on a break it wasn't really cheating was it? Timing doesn't come into it.

    Fun The Last Movie That You Watched?

    Hah! If that's actually a clue, how about African Queen? (You do realise you are personally responsible for the amount of Easter I shall now have to turn into a Bogeython? Why don't I know this already?)

    Controversial Trump

    That's my kind of mellow thinking - but a direct spit-hit on your keyboard doesn't bear thinking about and I'd hate to be responsible (does coffee count as chemical warfare?)

    Controversial Trump

    What an awful waste of coffee, sorry about that:emoji_flushed:

    Controversial Trump

    You probably just made King Willem-Alexander spit breakfast all over the table at the horrid suggestion! Who'd want to wake up and find a Trump up their family tree?

    Fun Another weird and wacky combination/comparison!

    Thanks for the tip, but sadly I don't have that at the moment.

    Controversial Trump

    Yesterday's offensive-son-like-disgraceful-father award went to Don Jr (as reported in The Hill) - mouthing off after yesterday's attack on London and insulting our Mayor. Does no one in that God-forsaken family know the meaning of respect, decency or diplomacy?

    Fun What are you listening to?

    Ken Bruce on BBC Radio 2 of course - only 10 minutes to Pop Master! (It's always a good day if I manage to get at least one answer right.)

    Fun Another weird and wacky combination/comparison!

    Woe is me - Doctor Who aside, I'm much better on horror and detectives than sci-fi... we must have had them in England, because I've heard of them, but beyond that - d'oh!

    Fun Another weird and wacky combination/comparison!

    I love the idea Janine, but I crash and burn at the first hurdle - 2 things I don't know about are The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits! Guess I'll be sitting this one out, while reading and learning fro everyone else's suggestions.

    Fun Vaping

    Really chuffed for you, glad it works for you. I think I quit smoking eight-nine years ago (after 20 years) just before this approach became fashionable, so I used faffy little nicotine pellets in plastic sucky tubes (sounds so much less cool). First Nicotinel, then later slightly cheaper (and...

    To have and have not ? (he's choking because it turns out he doesn't know how to whistle?)

    Review Heaven Sent (2015)

    It was broadcast the week after my mum died - so pretty indelibly, amazingly stunning really.

    Fun That Place of Historical Interest You Went To...

    I took a couple of groups of American students on Ripper walks in a previous life - the very best was with a talented local historian who quickly pointed out hat nothing could match up to everyone's expectations based on horror films. So we walked the walk with lots of alternative stories about...

    Fun Your Last Meal...

    As there is no known cure for the common cold, making yourself feel as comforted as possible is all a person can do - my failsafe is a big brew of lemon and ginger and honey and whisky - when in doubt, omit lemon, ginger and honey. Some people prefer to omit cinnamon, it's up to you. Hope you...

    Review The Ghosts of Motley Hall (1976)

    What a wonderful memory you have - and have prodded mine for this lovely bonkers show! Children's TV commissioning editors must've taken a refresher course in O level lit with The Canterville Ghost as a set book just before all these came along. That's 3 for three great series I have to thank...
