Big yes to that - haven't seen it for years (but what Shirley says on the boat should be compulsory advice to every younger woman embarking on a fling)... She has a new film out soon co-starring with Joan Collins, which might be promising. What about Calender Girls? Or Alan Plater's Last of the...

Vertigo Apparently some people's favourite Hitchcock - but there are a couple I still prefer

So long as you can have proper candles in it...

Nothing I can do about the cultural pumpkin agenda I'm afraid - like American spelling, it's clearly a Thing with which Brits should not attempt to meddle. Fish issues though - tinned, smoked eel is a possibility - do you have a well trained local deli open to negotiation?

Arrgh! I don't even know where to start not liking that idea - I felt once I had to try the famous cherry beer in Belgium. It was also a mistake.

And it might be the international style of this thread coming out but two of you have specified not liking pumpkin - it never really got onto my list of edible things anyway - more of a newfangled American Hallowe'en import for decorative purposes.

Smoked eel OK but not smoked salmon - I'm sure lots of people would be the other way round. I like both, in fact the only eel that is terminally off-putting is "traditional" London eel pie - the smell emanating from the doorway of the relevant caffs stops me even entering: you know when people...

Hi Dizit - sorry, I must have missed yours before when getting stuck into the defence of bananas. Yes - innards / wobbly bits. I know there's precious little logic to being a carnivore where meat from outsides but not insides is concerned - and I DO like all sorts of pate and sausages...

put enough rum + lime in and you wouldn't even know the 'nana was there. Seriously, my friend's daughter (10 years old) was helping us make a pasta sauce - she was busy chopping mushrooms in tiny, tiny bits. "That's so I don't know they're there" she said "Because I don't like them." Well, it...

The pudding fairy must like your family very much, to keep you so well supplied. Bon appetit!

Thanks - yes, a 100% mix-up - but crikey, will his school giver him time of to shoot it?

Nah...that was yesterday's list. Today you can have a new list - in honour of Women's Day I might kick off with Thelma and Louise Nanny McPhee Brief Encounter

just so long as they don't think you're failing at a Mr Burns impression, you an quietly enjoy your Whovian insider superiority.

Just like my mum, then. Even after she lost her sense of smell she still spurned them - except in a daquiri.

Mrs Metal rations your pudding? Outrageous! I like her already... What are Iowa's favourite puddings these days? Are you a sherry trifle man or more of a spotted dick lover Maybe the extra rations were one of each - that would be very stylish. Spring is here (ish) in England, so it's time to...

Nooooo! No Whitby = no credible Dracula. My problem remains that the title suggested extra-fidelity to the novel, but fudged it badly. Delightfully bonkers in its own right nevertheless - the whole timely blood/AIDS subtext was interesting + (as you hint) some deranged accents to savour - but...

Poor lady - I thought "kale, tofu and quinoa", then realised red wine, chocolate and chips weren't on the list - could be worse.

Yes - fair do s to Bill Skarsgard (anyone who can pull off the Dogville / Mama Mia combo can clearly do ANYTHING), so I'm sure I will watch it when it eventually turns up on TV. But meanwhile huge new respect to Stephen King for recent anti-Trump tweets - I particularly liked "Obama never left...

Tig! Tim Curry is IT and no one else need ever, ever bother...

Haha! Got the Oscars joke even though I haven't seen either film - nice one. Show and tell, sweetie - I have a battery driven Dalek in a cupboard at my mum's somewhere, a golden Dalek broach that lives in a box with my Apollo mission badges and my Lady Penelope spycatcher pendant, and don't ask...
