Word (as the young people doubtless don’t say anymore).
That said, there’s a Velvets doc on there as of tonight which looks watchable.

Aw, I was just looking forward to good old row, but you’ve successfully de escalated, so fair play to *you*.
I don’t hold TV to particularly high standards beyond ‘can I enjoy this?’ (even if it’s essential […]

Nothing remotely ‘woke’ (whatever the f*ck that is supposed to mean) about it.
Reagan is the POTUS who drives & bankrolls it, FFS.

As you have your free week, if you’re at liberty to binge watch something, I strongly recommend ‘For All Mankind’.
It’s a NASA based alternative history drama, with top drawer production values.
The conceit […]

No, you’re not alone.
I think that’s what I was trying to get at higher up the thread.
I watched it & enjoyed it but found it no more than pleasant. That’s what I think is a tad perplexing. Why is somet […]

I find the show curious.
I have found it very watchable- as in I’ve watched it all, & had a fair few chuckles-but oddly, I’m not sure it’s all that good. It may be the uncanny valley aspect, seeing outer Londo […]

Nice!

That is a fine cover.
I confess though, that this remains the definitive version for me. Sublime!

That reads as a coded public patch up to me – it’s showbiz & therefore public, so hatchets are better considered buried.
The translation could just as well have read ‘ I know I shouldn’t have let that toe rag w […]

That’s one incident.
Corden’s career is littered with reasons why he’s widely renowned as a twat, whereas Stewart is the opposite.
Everyone is entitled to an off night, which is very different from it being […]

I have to agree.
Corden has a lot of form & Patrick Stewart is known as a prince amongst men.
The body language would seem to indicate that Corden was requested beforehand not to be an arse & then went ahead, […]

Shake and shake the ketchup bottle,
None will come, and then a lot’ll.

Very sorry for your loss, Mike.
I’m not a stranger to bereavement, but I can’t quite imagine losing my sibling.
Godspeed to your brother.

Yikes, what a clanger!
Yesterday was a long day – give this a go ( nice clip BTW, Sal).

It’s hard to argue with what he says, especially about the lack of quality control after JC & he left, & the absolute state of Rossi & Parfitt on the marching powder.
On a more positive note, here’s a set fro […]

Arf!

I’ve heard that too.
Allegedly (which adds a bit of spice, I think), the perpetrators – who were numerous, felt rather rueful after the show, as Mr Steele addressed all the cast & crew apologising for his ‘ […]

Talking with an old playwright pal the other week & the subject of ‘how is so & so (an extremely talented physical actor mutual friend) doing?’ came up.
Very well, it turns out- lots of West End work & dan […]

I heartily endorse Shane McGowan as a good egg. Used to regularly see him & some of the other Pogues in a little dive bar in Fitzrovia. Always nice.
I had a super run in with him at a book launch in the 90s […]

The esteemed documentarian Albert Maysles is credited with the the quote ‘Tyranny is the deliberate removal of nuance’ .
The right wing of the Labour Party are such a clear & nauseating example of this not […]
