I'll be honest, I reckon my local Labour councillor candidate should find a new hobby.

He's on track for 8 in a row.

Rob absolutely nails it here.

CBA linking to what Jerry's been saying, but it's the usual bollocks. Still love you Jerry but shut up mate.

Phoenix Nights

Without a doubt, one of the very best this country has ever produced. Just an incredibly funny show. Kenny Sr is by far my favourite. "It's nearly hanging off" 

🎵 Just rip with me, and rip with me and tear with me right now 🎵

Spaced

Probably the 2nd or 3rd time I've seen this all the way through, and my favourite time by far. It's a really warm show, and has a lot of heart. Mike is hilarious. 

I cannot stop saying "Oi ooooooi you lucky peeeooopleeeeee" in the style of Tyres though, much to the annoyance of my kids.

Skint

One of my very first jobs was in a pawnbrokers, so when this first aired in mid 00s, I of course watched it, and randomly came across it all on YouTube so am rewatching.

It's a tough watch, but Vernon, the Brummie Big Issue seller is the most watchable person ever. The whole series should've been him, and I'm pleased to read recently that he's still alive and doing well.

Not suggesting it's not an important, integral piece of a brief boom period, but it's fall back into BritWres mediocrity was inevitable. 

Completely agree and it's very naive and shortsighted for the new owners to believe they could ever have reached those heights again to be honest, so I don't really have any sympathy. Lots of businesses have booms which can't be replicated.

The original incarnation of Progress was, if I'm being honest, a really good example of clever marketing. Yeah I'm with all of you and cannot stand anything self branded "punk" but they completely captured a huge audience with that aesthetic, and fair play to them.

Oh ffs.

Agree with the South Park game. One of my mates bought it and we were so excited to play it, but it was incredibly bad and we maybe played it 2 or 3 times before he traded it.

I've been a bit depressed recently and devoid of all inspiration to really do anything at all, so a lot of these are just comfort watches I've seen loads to make me feel better and things I can lie in bed and watch while wanting to be anywhere else (don't worry, it passes until Spurs play)

Best first watches: Anatomy Of A Fall was absolutely fantastic. I did groan when I saw the running time, but I was engrossed all the way through. If my husband had played that fucking P.I.M.P. cover over and over, I'd have definitely chucked him out of a window (not a spoiler don't worry)

The Greatest Hits was a fun time loop romp, not going to win any awards but its well told, has a novel "loop" part and Lucy Boynton is gorgeous.

Blackberry was brilliant. I love a good, serious, tense biopic or whatever, so this was right up my street. I was very worried I wouldn't be able to separate Glenn from Dennis, but I did (one "IDIOTS! SAVAGES!!!" style outburst aside) and he was unbelievable here. That Julliard training paying off! Jay Baruchel great too.

The Zone Of Interest was another gorgeous Glazer film. His balance of story with genuinely innovative sound and vision is an art. Was in bits at the end.

Shit? Well Bruce Almighty was all-shitey (waheeeeeeeey) and Gassed Up was a FAM! BRUV! FAM! MANS! CUZ! load of bollocks (decent soundtrack though) Air America was rubbish as well.

Rewatched all the Star Wars (not Episodes I to III as even a completist like me has limits) All 3x original trilogy films are 10/10 and I think TFA is the best one of the recent lot. Just such a fun romp, which I dont get from the others, but I do enjoy them.

Wild Style is one of the most important films of my formative teen years and a massive reason why I love rap so much. Its a brilliant capture of the still new culture at the time. Yes its cheesy and a bit amateur, but I think it's a really important cultural touchstone.

Trainspotting is the best British film ever and I've always held a massive soft spot for About A Boy. High Fidelity watched again? IMAGINE MY SHOCK.

Nearly half a year in and not even hit 80. Rick I've failed you.

Such a good goal.

Genuinely can't believe it the main episode of this season I was into and what a absolutely pointless topic in honesty. If you look at most the topics over all the seasons this wasn't even tame it was fucking nothing whatsoever. He's a legendary figure in this world for the shit he did in ecw but Christ the entire world knows he's a drunk that was his entire fucking foundation the entire career.

I do like this show and documentary talking about the awful shit within the industry that have been kept quiet and brushed away but jesus this one was a waste 

Who are you talking about?

Genuinely think this might be my favourite song of all time.

Absolutely beautiful. 

Blimey!

Kyren for me now.

50 photos of Simon Le Bon? Crazy stalker vibes.

400! Even worse!

Courtesy of a mate.

What baffles me the most is "Some of these were taken from videos" and "it cost a lot to get these all developed"

So they have taken photos of their telly and then developed them? Absolute mentalists.

"Not available anywhere else" unless you presumably have the same videos?

Mad!

Really interesting interview with Daniel Radcliffe, where he addressed the Rowling issue.
