Hi Robin. Loved IMC and recently introduced my 9 year old to it, he now loves it too. It’ll remain a people’s favourite and there are many more still to discover it. New doors will open! And in the mean time the BBC should remember this little statue and inscription outside their front door

And you have to wonder if this will lead to a form of cultural stagnation where clicks count for everything. No new ideas are generated just regurgitated old ones. Through AI slop feeding off itself into the mix and rage bait and I think you have a toxic timebomb.

This summer I’ve seen my 9 year old and his friends (all with no phones and limited net access) have the same shared experiences, movie related. And the ‘grownups’ know about these too. First time in a while I can remember a shared cultural experience, and they’ll probably be his first.
