They are all great and you should watch them all but I love that there is no consensus masterpiece. My choice is Blimp but each one (plus Black Narcissus and A Canterbury Tale) has a claim to being their best.
Fancy your own Powell & Pressburger festival? Currently on/heading to BBC iPlayer are I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING!, THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP and P&P doc MADE IN ENGLAND. A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH and THE RED SHOES join from Sat. But see thread for links to other P&P joy available in the UK

Now that she owns Jeremy Clarkson (net worth £55m) Victoria Derbyshire's family have to pay inheritance tax on him when she dies.
“So it’s not about you, it’s not about your farm and the fact you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax?”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social speaks to Jeremy Clarkson at the farmers’ protest in Westminster where thousands of farmers are protesting the government’s inheritance tax plans.

Farmers need help. But from #farmwashing & supermarkets making huge profits while squeezing payments to farmers - the #IHT hue & cry is disingenuous. Dyson & Clarkson have voices & RW media support.

Will inheritance tax changes really mean the end of Britain’s farming?
The farming lobby is protesting loudly that the budget changes to inheritance tax will kill family farms. So should we be alarmed?

So if it's a trade choice between:

a) chlorinated chicken, plastic cheese, nasty chocolate and

b) European food, beer & wine...

...I confess, I have a strong preference for the latter.

Every story out of the US right now is like:

"Sources say Jimmy 'Coal Baron' Ashton to be named head of the EPA, he says he'll be stepping down from Baby Seal Clubbers International but remain Board Chair of the Climate Change is a Chinese Hoax PAC... but Trump insiders worry, is he too liberal?"
