Russian Doll I also liked a lot. Bit of a marmite show I think. I found it funny, clever and really quite profound.

Others are Chernobyl, Line of Duty.

Yes Stranger Things gave us it’s best season I think. Playful yet disturbing at times. Perfectly balanced. I love all the references to other films. It’s the characters that make a series a success, that the […]

You can’t really satirise the current state of affairs, it’s already a gruesome parody.

I think a credible Labour candidate’s could have tackled the controversies much better, although I am not sure anti-semitism, for example, has been important for many potential voters. I think a better leader […]

One can binge-watch all the seasons I believe. They say it’s rather samey although the ageing of the main character is impressive. I remember seeing the famous Annus Horriblis episode but found it rather […]

Seen: End of the f***ing world. It’s like an American offbeat kind of TV crime drama has been remade set in the UK. A Coen Brothers film transplanted to drab, humdrum England. I really like it’s style. A great […]

Bowie and Bing must rank as unexpected, to give a festive example. Pa ram pam pam pam.

I set ’em up, he takes the glory. Story of my life.

No doubt Lodey will keep in touch with our late comrade and let us know his news, as he does with other poor victims of miscarriages of justice.

What, that centrist?

Will there be no Tahirs before bedtime? I’ll get my Breton cap.

Paging Fraser Lewry!

Jeremy mentalmen?

Maybe KFD could start a thread of youtube clips about the secret services and something good could come out of all this and we could begin to heal somehow.

In all my long life of political observation and panic in America there has been much holding of noses, mostly , but not always, my own and look where it’s got us. You are right though. Opposition parties working […]

Group abuse is nothing to be scared of.

I don’t agree with deleting abuse. It should remain to show how bad/mild it was and who perpetrated it. The Mods’ warning, which is fine to post, doesn’t say who it was and then it seems as if it was a mutual, […]

As someone who has actually met the majority of the people in the country, even though I don’t live there, all I can say is it’s worse than you think. With a bit of luck there’ll be a hung parliament followed by a […]

In my defence I will say I meant to duo sarcasm stupidly and I think I nearly pulled it off.

Well you bemoan personality politics but unfortunately personality here is key. One wishes it weren’t. No it’s not profound. Shall everyone critique each other’s comments and give points for style and technical […]
