    You Have Been Watching …

    I watched Predator the other evening, and it’s good silly fun. I like the story Carl Weathers tells about how none of them, except Arnie (I think), wanted to admit they worked out, and insisted their physique was all natural. So they would all get up at 2 or 3 in the morning and sneak…

    The Flintstone’s Car

    I’ve been thinking a lot about the Flintstone’s car. I know this isn’t the best way to expend my mental energy, and I know it’s a cartoon, but nonetheless, even in the world of The Flintstones, this car makes no sense. Let’s not get started on the implication of those opening titles either. The family…

    I finally went to see The Rise Of Skywalker at the cinema last night. I have a small bladder, and long films at the cinema are daunting, mostly because I hate walking out for a pee and missing stuff. It didn’t help that there were 27 minutes of guff before the film either. I would…

    Proctology: A Bottom Examination

    For a long time now I’ve been wanting to write an old-fashioned programme guide. One you can hold in your hand and thumb through, make notes on, spill coffee on. So I did. Proctology: A Bottom Examination is my deep dive into Bottom, the hit BBC Two sitcom starring Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson. That’s…

    Re-Casting Keanu

    Keanu Reeves is 56. That makes him eight years older than Clive Dunn was when he was first cast in Dad’s Army. But don’t panic, Clive Dunn was always playing much older characters than his own age. Keanu Reeves is 56. That makes him seven years older than Stephanie Cole was when she was first…
