Is it common knowledge that touching cloth is slang for shitting yourself? From Viz comic I believe.

Yeah, as I posted further up, it was definitely on in New York at one point.

Edit: It was a bit up and down: Jesse Armstrong's The Entire History of You' was amazing but Brooker's 'Million Merits' was awful.

Yeah, I agree, 'Tomkinson's School Days' and 'Eric Olthwaite' were good but the rest I found a bit lacking.

I saw a trailer for 'Eastenders' when I was in New York in the 90s so it must have been on at some point. I hate it personally but Coronation Street is cool.

My favourite was series two. Bring back Szabo!

Well, I've seen seven of them already. TREMBLE BEFORE MY EUROPEAN SOPHISTICATION!!

Allen as a villain would be pretty inspired actually. The conclusion could have Stallone throwing him off train by the scruff of his neck.

Chekov's Russian old flame Irina is sadly neglected in discussions of TOS beauties.

I once had a lively debate at a wedding over who was the best looking Python. We settled for Michael Palin, while acknowledging Graham Chapman possessed a certain puppy dog charm.

Jessica Lange in 'King Kong' and Barbara Carrera. I don't have a cute story about them - they were both just really beautiful and sexy.

I saw a little black kid wearing a Newcastle top in New York - which was exciting.

Sam, are you familiar with Leigh's TV work? 'Nuts in May' and 'Abigail's Party' etc.

Yes.

Leigh gets annoyed when they get lumped together, although to be fair, Leigh is almost in a constant state of annoyance.

Stephen Rea is hilarious in this. I can't remember the exact dialogue but the sequence when he and Broadbent are in the pub, pissed, and brandishing a mobile phone he says something like, 'If you went back in time and showed somebody this and said you were from the future, they would have to believe you.'

Young Japanese person lends you a VHS to watch - what could possibly go wrong?

The Nick Park-scripted birthday party episode of Shaun is up there with anything else he's done.

The show was prett dull but that performance will go down as one of the greats. The presenter was very appealing too.

I like saying Katerine Fonsmark.
