I was watching the closing ceremony of the Olympics. The commentators were being slightly bemused by the technofunk section - meanwhile, all the European athletes in their early/mid 20s were having a high old time *and* knew all the words...
Ride The High Country ftw
C'est magnifique!
Serious question, no wrong answer - is there any way of pitching for an anthology series with a star attached? Or is it still the core idea that they won't touch?
I own the hardback of this - it's brilliant. So pleased that it's now coming out in versions that will actually pay Joel properly...
How did I get into Tintin? Because my dad's barber had a copy of King Ottokar's Sceptre with the front cover missing.
Matt and Gail are good people - please help if you can.
Good result for the Greens, and I for one am looking forward to the endless stream of columns saying "This result confirms all my pre-existing prejudices"...
"And remember, Siadwel - you are a tool". I laughed *so* much.
Been there, sadly. I literally feel your pain.
Question over a medieval engraving of a battle against Death: What are the four core character classes? Wrong answers only.

The biggest lies that everyone tells: "I have read the terms and conditions" and "Serves two".
Love this. I've just finished reading his novel Sky High, newly republished in the British Library Crime Classics. It's a cheerfully cosy romp with, again, pleasing touches of darkness.
Oh yes. We had our own versions of Payola and worse many times over the years. But the good stuff still broke through...
As Danny Baker (UK pop writer) pointed out, the same is true of pop music itself. It's *supposed* to be ephemeral, of the moment, here today & cringe tomorrow. That's the stuff we're still listening to 40, 50, 60 plus years later, and it isn't just first generation nostalgia that makes us do that.
You can't fool me. That's Michael Aspel...
If you don't mind a few moody old-school French classics, I recommend Les Diaboliques (1955), Bob Le Flambeur (1956), and Le Cercle Rouge (1970).
I am emosh. *Two* gold medals for Coming Down Head First on a Tea Tray. Go Team GB! #TheOlympics
Gold! #TheOlympics
We'd get this kind of delightful thing over here on a Sunday afternoon - obviously bought by ITV as part of a package. I'd love to see the whole thing some time if that's possible...
"The men who made the Sixties what they are today..."
Lovely actor, Herb. Always a delight to see his name in the guest star list.
The botched payroll robbery is such a magnificent set piece. Beautifully done.
The Outfit? Great, isn't it...
This. Also, if I'm going straight on at a crossroads, it says absolutely nothing.

It's not merely that he's doing it wrong, it's that he's doing it wrong in *precisely* the funniest possible way.
The Unfree French by Richard Vinen. I've read a lot of Graham Robb's stuff, and this came highly recommended...
Oh, it is, but if you've set your students to design a lesson plan based around a picture book story time, and they *all* choose their favourite from when they were that age... The brief was to show students that other, newer books exist. It wasn't in any way a value judgement.
