Oh yeah:

It's definitely worth a watch - a great video and a really fantastic song. Also worth seeing for a great Bejar appearance is Destroyer's Bye Bye.

Bejar most often eschews press duties and promotions for TNP, making his appearance in the video for War on the East Coast even funnier.

There was a significant part of my life where I worried that I would never love anyone as much as I loved Faye Wong in this film.

Remember when Raquel left Curly to work as an aromatherapist in Kuala Lumpur? No? Well I do, and it's still heartbreaking.

If 20 years of listening to Richard Herring has taught me anything, it is that pedantic correction of minor errors is a comedy goldmine.

It's a hand made out of ham or an armpit that dispensed sun lotion. The finger that can travel through time is pitted against a tit that dispenses talc.

It's a popular misconception which I held until recently, but Mrs Columbo was not about Lt Columbo's wife. I think it was initially intended as a spin-off, but quickly made into a show about another woman called Mrs Columbo. Then they had her divorced and changed the characters name to Mrs Callahan…

The one at the end of Suitable for Framing is amazing. It plays like Columbo slaps the guy in face with a reveal that (I think, anyway) the audience won't see coming, and a wordless punchline. It's really really funny.

I think I've seen the majority of the 70s episodes over the years, but I've just started going through them in order on US Netflix. I love it.This really is one of the most entertaining shows ever made. Not every one is a classic, but they are all entertaining and have a way higher rate of success than any other

There's a brilliant bit in this one - I watched it last week! Immediately after the murder, Columbo is hanging around the victim's husband, Ray Milland, here playing a super-rich publisher and the type of guy who is normally the murderer in Columbo. But he's so straight and bluff-free that we can tell Columbo doesn't

Lazenby doesn't cock it up completely - he does sell the ending really well - but he's not very satisfying in it. I don't think the plot or script is as tight as, say, From Russia With Love or Casino Royale though. The middle is interminable.
I rewatched loads of Bonds recently was surprised by the way they have held

Grotesque is just about their best record, I think - funny, angry, pointed. I love it.

I watched OHMSS again this weekend and it has a great start and finish, but all the stuff in the middle at Blofeld's allergy clinic drags on and on and on. It's like a rubbish Carry On film, and it lasts about 45 minutes. It only gets good again when Diana Rigg turns up on skates.

Now I want to watch Iron Man 3 again.

Won't he just play the same character he plays on Castle, which is Frank Castle aka The Punisher?

I really thought that's what we were going to get! Even so, Shandling's whispered "Hail Hydra" was a great creep out moment.

Yep, he's brilliant.

Earlier than that, he was the sports reporter on the radio version, On The Hour. Which was also written by Iannucci (alongside Chris Morris, Stewart Lee, Richard Herring and David Quantick amongst others).

And then it is immediately eaten by a bird.
