More LoG! Huzzah! I'll have to go back and re-watch the series (and movie, and Christmas special, and live version, and all the extras on the DVDs. I think I gave up trying to count all the classic ghost story references by the start of series 2 (and I love 'The Money's Bollocks' to death).

I hear you on the 'behind the showbiz scenes' movies. I love the heck out of them, especially when they're about something I'm fond of. And Bill Hartnell is my favourite Doctor in many ways, so I'm sold. As @avclub-3e00a61c5a71e91292bff03321bc8255:disqus says, the fact that William Russell and Carole Ann Ford have…

Big screen:

Especially as Krakatoa is west of Java.

Plus a nice touch is that when they show the bits from 'Scott of the Sahara' the music playing is from Ralph Vaughan Williams's Sinfonia Antarctica, which was based on the score RVW did for the film Scott of the Antarctic starring John Mills.

I suspect that Shackleton's star has risen higher, and Scott's fallen a little lower in consequence, over the decades, due to Shackleton actually doing something pretty damn heroic while Scott's stubbornness and misjudgement got himself and everyone else on the expedition killed. Now that the teary-eyed, jingoistic…

Seconding (thirding? fourthing?) the thanks, Electric Dragon. When I first watched MPFC in Canada in the late 1970s, when I was a teen, I found myself enjoying the shows hugely, even though a lot of the topical British references went way over my head. Over the years I read a lot about Britain and visited the country…

"Krakatoa, East of Leamington" – well, at least Krakatoa
really is east of Leamington, so they’re ahead of the
game already.

I agree with @avclub-a6c2f1d0e96d6d65d15d1d54eb0953c4:disqus : the 'Scott' sequence is one of my favourite Python sketches. Pure gold, from Jimmy McRettin ('Greet!') to the fact it's clearly been turned into an American production to the skewering of different actorly types ('I played Mrs Jesus Christ in a geologic…

Love the split-second delay between the delivery of the line and the audience reaction as they translate 'intercourse the penguin'.

Australia, Australia, Australia, we love you!

Unlike @avclub-fe858281188f10005605ea7b1dd0bf7f:disqus , I can remember when the Bugs Bunny/Roadrunner show was going on, and even though I haven't seen it in years I remembered every word of the song and every beat of the music when I clicked on the intro. I think it was on the CBC on Saturdays from 5 - 6 pm, just…

I'm looking at you, Rainbow Country and The Littlest Hobo.

The Fog (1975). But you knew that. The only other scenes I remember (spoilers, I guess, for a book published almost 40 years ago) are the plane deliberately flown into the building, and the one woman deciding not to drown herself and then being drowned when there's a wave of mass suicides.

Liked for James Herbert reference.

This can only mean one thing; and I don't know what that is.

Suggested my 15-year-old son watch Murder by Death, as I thought he'd like it; he phoned me at work two days ago after watching it for the first time and started quoting lines at me, so I guess he liked it (another clue: he's watched it again since). Man, that's a funny film, and a great cast, but Brennan and Falk are…

I vote for the nipple tassels.

"There'll be some car-door slamming in the streets of Kensington tonight!" is used a lot in our house when something noteworthy happens. But like @avclub-f7f8eb12e0f61a9321597157c0d61791:disqus , the entire skit makes me laugh out loud the whole way through. 

Feldman was one of the co-writers (with Barry Took, who helped to bring the various Python actors together to form MPFC in the first place) of the influential (and still hilariously funny) BBC radio series Round the Horne, which introduced the incredibly camp characters Julian and Sandy to the British public. As…
