Oh, well now I'm thinking that Jon Pertwee and Alfred Marks should have swapped roles in their episodes of Virtual Murder.

I've been listening to Hans Zimmer's new #F1TheMovie score, and particularly the main theme.

It's fantastically good.

Here it is soundtracking Niki Lauda's 1975 championship win from RUSH (for which he also wrote the score).

In case you think I was a cheap swine and didn't pay for the dvd.

I can confirm that I DID indeed bid 10 quid for a copy on Ebay...and lost.
Amnesia at 4. Watched the only thing on my list under 1 hr + colour.

Chiller: Prophecy.

Good. Occasionally shaky in the script dept, (14 y/o boy says to his father's shirt-wearing gf "But you've got no underwear on!?") but...good.

I'll deffo do the rest.

How to watch James Bond as a movie: Watch all 23 films without a break over 49 hours.

A long, eating pause can be taken during 'Diamonds' (obviously) for strawberry Nesquilk[sic], fishcakes and appropriate comfort breaks.

When I was about 12, I saw the Monty Python and the Holy Grail vhs cover and thought that this line was the funniest thing I'd ever read.

Ironically, KAISER is closer to how 'Caesar' would have been pronunced in spoken Roman Latin.

Today I discovered that my son has recently become a fan of T Rex..
and owns a MB t-shirt, as a result of a vodka-fuelled romantic encounter with a young lady of good family who's studying to be a doctor.
