Oh, sweetie, what did I do wrong? A blank block of space is what I intended - so concerned readers could simply look away... what would you prefer and how should I do it next time?

Especially as Sir Sidney is from The Bahamas anyway - just such a very good actor that most Americans probably think he IS African-American.

As all-time favourite films go, this would be one! But where to put it: animation, horror or vegetarianism? Gromit was runner-up in my quest for an avatar (it's just that Paddington and I have been together since I was six so he pulled rank). Anyone else have a favourite gag? I knew I was...

Yes, I agree, but can no longer for the life of me remember why...

It's so long since I saw any of it - funny, as it used to be flatmates-gather-round and don't miss it TV. Maybe it just went on a bit too long for its own good? I liked Marcel.

That's not how I remember it (oh dear, I might have to get my series 5 DVD out later and force myself to check - thanks for the good excuse!) There was an American version I've never had a chance to see, so maybe that's what THEY did? The very clever thing the original BBC series did was...

Well, finally, a film featuring Bambi that I have seen through to the end. (Not a clue what happens in Disney's version after the big forest fire - apparently that was when the screaming started.) This is outrageous - but now I want the sequel, "Thumper goes looking for Bambi" - can't stand that...

Different Seasons is the only book of his I think I've read - but with 3 out of the 4 stories all made into such great films (Shawshank, Apt Pupil and Stand By Me) - how come Hollywood hasn't cracked on and made the last one (which I now can't remember, so that might be the first clue...) at...

Nah... time's on our side (and the occasional Timelord) - walls crumble - and if they have an authentic Banksy on them, sometimes just get spirited away in the night. I have hope. And Blackadder too: if you never have, so try to start with the original, first series, The Blackadder - I truly...

And one day I really will get as far as the end, as I loved all of it that I saw - it switched channels here at a time we only had terrestrial, so sadly, that's one I have on hold.

For starters - the entire fourth series of Torchwood was a huge let-down, but the saddest finale of all for me was Sarah Jane Adventures

Do people in your state have a very distinctive accent? You'd be very popular in Britain, as most of us get our impression of how Americans talk direct from Hollywood! At least I can tell New York from Boston, deep South from Valley Girl, but I know there's a long way to go... As for people who...

Good grief - I had no idea this even existed (and have never before heard of a Galaxy channel - how dare they profane my favourite brand of chocolate?) Please tell me, someone, that Mel Brooks sued for nicking the idea for Springtime for Hitler, while completely missing the point?

Hi Duzit - true, not liking Bill Murray would cramp anyone's style from liking a film where he's barely off-screen I can take him or leave him - wonderfully daft in Ghostbusters, but then again, he couldn't keep my interest in Lost In Translation (that was also a case of a film so hyped to me...

Not just because of its current anniversary but for me Buffy would be hard to beat, although MASH and Being Human come pretty close in excellence.

Hi Hux, Good list - not sure whether it was Idris Elba or David Harewood who commented in an interview a while back that his move to America for work was prompted by the greater quantity and variety of American roles for black actors (plus the sheer promise of becoming a Hollywood star, maybe)...

The excellent Mr Jackson has had a very busy week! Firstly, magnificently, he lump-hammers the twit-hound Ben Carson's deranged equivalence of African slaves with opportunist "immigrants", but then follows through with a less-considered outcry against British actors Hollywood casts as...

Good evening to you, petal! Very happy to hear you're also a Tilda fan - you could check out Orlando or her work with Derek Jarman for the art-housier work, but she also seems to be in demand for more bonkers sci-fi stuff line Constantine and Doctor Strange. ( We were at college together, and...

Kids today - slasher, gross-out, splatter-gore-cess-pit filth-crud horror (or similar). They know NOTHING. Watch and Learn. This one gets to you - this one stays with you. Holy Crap this is intense. And if -big if - Ms Christie and Mr Sutherland really did get it REALLY on, on camera, in front...

Hello again, Hux - and yes - but hugely different - if you'd seen it you'd know, honest - so there's a quest for you. And I was just commenting on Marathon Man, so Dustin Hoffman in a predicament is also a running theme. I'd put this with the likes of Clockwork Orange - a stunning film because...
