I first saw (and fell in love with) her in Green Wing only for her to absolutely destroy me in Tyrannosaur.

Paddy Considine makes just about any movie more great, to be honest.

Considine is the best thing about just about anything he's in. I even watched that Dakota Fanning with cancer movie for him.

I was in a fire there once. I don't like to talk about it.

I had a similar experience actually. I had so many people recommend it to me I thought it could never be as good as they said but, hey, surprise surprise, it was.

This was actually my second attempt to read it and once I made it through the first few chapters I really really enjoyed it. Although I'm a big fan of Fforde's created universes anyway

I'm making headway with my list of 'books I really should have read years ago' and have finished both The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close in the past week. I'm in the final chapters of Fforde's Shades of Grey as well.

Just got back from seeing it. Don't bother. He's not in very much and is given the thankless role of stating the bleedin' obvious most of the time. I'd recommend just rewatching The Thick of It again.

It's only 8 episodes, I think

"Emancipate this motherfucker"

Grey's is my comfort TV. I don't keep up with it on TV because of terrible scheduling here (Aus) but like to marathon the season all at once whenever I'm having a bad weekend. It's that sort of, stay in bed, eat chocolate, drink wine and cry over fictional characters show.

Wait, so you never had ear sandwiches, Lupin Addams? What were you raised in a field or something?

My uncle insists he wants a Madness-themed funeral. Baggy Trousers is bound to confuse the distant relatives

Guess she wasn't funny after all

I'm glad I wasn't the only one! I was like "Damnit, Will, isn't there a glass anywhere?"

Don't try the veal

I definitely got the feeling that du Maurier knew (or guessed? I'm hoping we'll find out more next season) about Hannibal's true nature and what she was actually eating.

That final shot - the composition, the music - it was just perfection.

Farewell, Tristan, thankfully we barely knew ye. I can't imagine how they would have stretched out that character.

My grandmother literally does this. She tells people she's 90something when she's only in her 70s so people think she looks great for her age.
