Likes: bad puns, old tv, comedy, music. Freeze Derek Nimmo and animate the vegetables. Dislikes: bad karma. Is it a dolphin in a bathtub?

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

*That* was a brilliant Champion of Champions. A classic. Everyone involved came out of it well. And Sam Campbell is a jet-lagged genius. #Taskmaster
