To a certain extent it does, in that it comes out of the potential that it seems to have. For Breaking Bad most episodes were building up towards the big finale so their potential wasn't being utilised completely on an episode by episode basis, and it was only the final episodes arrived that it was able to pull out

That's a shame. Will there be a look at Christmas movies? Admittedly, I just want to see MCC get some coverage, but I'd be interested to hear opinions on other cinematic Christmas treasures.

Favourite film of all time. So many peaks of emotions, so many jokes, so much Michael Caine.

I adore that film, in a large part because it's one of the closest adaptations of the original story that's ever been made. Admittedly many of the characters are felt puppet animals who burst into song, but the characterisations, emotions, structure and dialogue (including narration courtesy of Gonzo) are closer to

I still think it's pretty wonderful, but then I genuinely like Robin Williams in almost everything he does (even in dross like Patch Adams), unlike most of the reviewers on here who seem to come out in hives whenever his name's on a movie poster. Also, I don't know if it's my age (24) or my nationality (British),

Me too. Largely because the comparison relationship for Dexter has annoyed the crap out of me for years.

I'd love to see a full write up of Life on Mars, but I also love to see classic Britcoms get more recognition in America, so Fawlty Towers would be cool too.

Also even bigger Brit-tease is that John Cleese's wife in the film appeared in an episode of Fawlty Towers opposite him as the deaf woman with the vase. Oh yeah, you know what I mean.

I LOVE that film! Not like I love The Muppet Christmas Carol or The Great Muppet Caper, but still… Tim Curry, damnit!

Is there anything we can send? Like little clay Troy and Abed figures? Coz I don't have any of those.

I'm going to push British theme songs as the winners all over the place, particularly British sitcoms. Only Fools and Horses, The Good Life, that perfect Porridge opening (not neccessarily a theme song, but it's perfect nonetheless), The Vicar of Dibley, Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, Red Dwarf, Last of the Summer Wine,

I get fed up with the accusation that all religions are the same or as bad as each other, specifically when people say that Scientology is no worse than Christianity. I was raised C of E, and the most spiteful thing anyone C of E will do to you is not invite you to their coffee morning, or possibly just not offer you

Called Olmos as being dead in the first episode. He was obviously meant to be equivalent to Harry (the most simultaneously overused and useless character any TV show has ever had), and thery're really hammering home the similarities between Dex and Travis (parents dead, probably one of them is Olmos, influential

I think blackface and yellowface have always been seen as much less acceptable in America than in the UK.

None taken.

Called Olmos as Evil Harry back in episode 1. Frankly I think even
introducing Harry as a mental mentor (back in about season 2) was
stupid, and he only ever serves to repeat exactly what we already know
(sometimes for the second time, after Dexter has summarised it himself
as well).

Porridge.

Hell, he's in the guy's head, he can be Olmos. My father in my head is Stephen Fry.

I'm calling Olmos as not real. He's the weedy looking murderer's dad, a la Harry.
