Had a quick flick through the listings and couldn't find a single channel showing 'The Holly and the Ivy' this holiday season. That's terribly disappointing.

Watched 'House of Strangers' (1949) there's a distinct lack of brotherly love in that film.

Watched 'Melody Club' today, a feeble comedy starring Terry-Thomas. Not one I would recommend.

Seem to have seen a lot of Dick Powell films this year. Didn't realise quite how many musicals he made.

There’s more loving care on show here than most theatrical runs get these days..

Listening to The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce.

Happy birthday, beautiful Joan Fontaine! Pretty please: Stop talking about her overhyped "feud" with her sister, and watch her films—REBECCA, LETTER FROM AN UNKNOWN WOMAN, IVY, THE CONSTANT NYMPH, KISS THE BLOOD OFF MY HANDS, SUSPICION, SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR, BORN TO BE BAD. She was so talented.

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

"This is a story of a period between two World Wars—an interim in which Insanity cut loose. Liberty took a nose dive, and Humanity was kicked around somewhat."

Next week marks 85 years since THE GREAT DICTATOR opened in New York City.

Watched Mike Leigh's 'Hard Truths' one of the finest films of last year, an absolutely outstanding performance from Marianne Jean-Baptiste.

This programme is so good, must watch TV in my house.

I really wish Veronica Lake and Alan Ladd had made more films together.

Spending early evening with my favourite Eric Rohmer film

Watched 'The Deadly Affair' (1967) starring James Mason and Simone Signoret, based on the John Le Carre novel. Excellent film, well worth seeing.

Wednesday evening is all about 'Maigret' on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social for me. This Fench series is the best of all the Maigret series I have seen.

Wrote about broken Britain. Paywalled but try battering with tinned luncheon meat or a bucket of rats. www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/0/the-war...

Verified my age in accordance with the new regulations.

Finally set this up. Probably 18 months since I decided to join.
