Watched it yesterday evening. One thing that stood out to me was how every soldier who smiled had terrible teeth.

I don’t think that Corbyn is playing a long game. He’s quite happy with the prospect of us leaving the EU, and he’s more interested in the gesture politics in which he has spent his career rather than dealing with […]

Oh dear! Saw him play at the Barbican about ten years ago. It’s usually quite a sterile atmosphere there but he really shook the place up; seemed to have half of the audience dancing onstage throughout the gig.

The track that every cool person in the world will immediately recognise:

I take some comfort from Johnson being booed at the test match this weekend. A non-political event and it would be hard to identify the crowd as left or right wing; more likely a mixture of people with varying […]

I’ve heard there’s a director’s cut hidden away. They don’t escape but are captured by the Nazis. Maria and the captain placed in front of a firing squad. Kids led off to a boarding school run by the Hitler Youth.

‘Between the Lines’. Early 90s drama set in the complaints and investigations branch of the Met Police. First two series were great at exploring the moral complexities of police work and the pressures to which […]

Agree. Homicide: Life on the Street was a masterpiece. Great ensemble piece and a lot of dark humour.

As a page turner I’d recommend Conclave by Robert Harris. Intelligent commercial fiction about the election of a new pope that has a series of intriguing twists and a bunch of well drawn characters.

And – […]

Indeed, a picture of elegance and sophistication.

I was among the platoon of T-shirts and shorts to the left of the stage.

Reminding her that if Yorkshire really was so bloody special the Queen would live there.

Comments make clear the marketing people didn’t do a very good job. This happened last time he came over when he played one night at the same venue; I found out about three weeks beforehand and it was sold out. […]

Years since I’ve seen him, but a general comment: you can greatly enjoy something but get to the point where you’ve had enough for a lifetime.

Confirmed my view that Ronaldo is a masterful footballer – but also a narcissistic nobhead.

Saw them at Lewisham Town Hall around 2003. Rollicking, joyous gig, and despite his obvious disability Clarence really dominated the stage.

Last Saturday’s edition The Archive Hour, titled ‘Is That Machine On?’

Sorry Baron, I disagree completely. I’ve been following Old Crow and was disappointed by the Blonde on Blonde rehash: all very frantic, one dimensional and to my ears quite pointless.

Now listened to Volunteer […]
