Here it is, my big #EastEnders catch-up thread for people who only see it when they go home for Christmas with the family. Allow me to get you all caught up on the goings-on in Albert Square in its most explosive week of the year! KEEP THIS BY YOUR SIDE AT ALL TIMES.

Ex Flaming Lips members should form a band like ex Hawkwind members, Flaming Lords or something. And play a pub near me.

Last night's film, HELLISH FLESH. The nastiest plot of the José Mojica Marins films I've seen. Enjoyed this bit of borrowed horror imagery though.

Well, here we go. Probably the last session of this Ashes series I'll bother watching. But you never know.

I figured this was coming but still sad to see - end of an era. He made records with the Lips that I count as all-time favourites.

Inexplicably, in 25 years of gig going I've never seen Stereolab. That changes tonight!

Last night's film, DEATH BY HANGING. Lives up to its reputation. A critique of Japan's attitudes to corporal punishment that mocks the authorities. Blackly humorous and absurd but makes serious points.
