Sara Gran's Claire DeWitt novels.

Or Lanark by Alasdair Gray.
OK, less contentious post:

You've been placed in charge of a movie studio, and have an unlimited budget to adapt any work of your choosing that has never been made into a live-action TV series or film. What are you picking?

For me: PC Hodgell's Kencyrath Cycle and there's no close second

It's ridiculous to say Britain is losing its traditions when I've watched the same film version of an Agatha Christie story 3 Christmases in a row now.

Strategic blunder by Polanski in attacking Charles. Should have had a go at Andrew instead, then he'd be 10 points ahead of Labour in the next poll.

I feel it is important that we honor British film pioneer George Albert Smith. Yes, he helped pioneer editing, closeups, science fiction films, etc. but I think we can all agree that his greatest contribution was as an early trailblazer in the Cat Video genre.

BBC2 about to show the infamous "lost episode" of Dad's Army featuring Patrick Troughton as Oswald Mosley.

This has never been screened again since 1971 but now they feel it's time as modern audiences "will watch any old shit".

My Xmas present to you all. The book cover that shows the most mistaken assumptions about the content of all time, I believe.

2026 will of course be the year of Polanskimania. There will be a special edition of Loose Women discussing the phenomenon.

In spite of it all, I can't help wondering what will happen if America has free and fair elections next year.

Christmas can be a hard time for many, who can't accept they've never heard of anyone on Top of The Pops or recognise anyone on "celebrity" shows.

Nothing represents more the failure of Old and New Labour that neither of them tried to nationalise and merge Radio and TV Times. Socialism was never even attempted in this country.
December 25, 2025 at 8:47 AM
Kids today have no idea what it meant to study separate Radio and TV Times and then argue over what would be on the telly at specific times of the day.

They are the hollow men, mere shades, meaningless vestiges of postmodernity.

Because of woke we can't have the traditional EastEnders Christmas Episode, with marriage breakup, depression, robbery and arson. Now it's just Carol singers.

A great improvement to BlueSky would be an option "filter out the 100s of threads all hanging off a screenshot of a Twitter post by a fuckwit American".

It's that time of year when I'm reminded how weird it is that I buy most of the gifts back in October.

Ricardian riches or Ralphian relics? This banner-bedecked tomb casket at Sheriff Hutton in the North Riding has long been connected with Edward of Middleham, son of Richard III although sculptural style cues date to the 1420s and suggest it might commemorate a lost son of Ralph Neville. #TombTuesday

Turning Point USA need to move fast to avoid reputational damage from being linked to a sex offender. They should also be concerned about Russell Brand.

1. This is indeed a climbdown by the govt, and therefore a Tory win.
2. But anyone who suggested this wasn't an obvious Tory campaign is a moron.
3. So why are you telling us you have moron advisers?
