The 90s [or rather 1989-1997] was a wealth of fantastic Disney films. Even the most flawed work from that time has great character work and songs. Beauty and the Beast is probably the most consistent film of that era, perhaps even the whole Disney canon. It's not actually my personal favourite, but objectively…

Coincidentally, I was watching Kung Fu Kapers last night (showing it to a friend who hadn't seen The Goodies before). I do like that show, but boy is it non-PC at times (thank you, 1975). Still, the sheer ambition of that show was spectacular, and pretty much unmatched, particularly for a comedy show.

Sean, it's good to have you back in the Newswire.

This is just not a very good show. It's got style, I'll admit, but very little substance. Last season's main character and story work were unoriginal and uninspiring, and this season's have been a total mess. It all looks very pretty, but that's about it.

Well, frankly the franchise can only go up after Spectre (although I'm not sure how Bond is going to find his way aboard a giant peach)

I remember! It got INSUFFERABLE. I don't know if the writers genuinely thought we needed that much spoonfeeding or if they just forgot what they'd written a line before (either are possible), but it was maddening, especially when you remember that the first couple of seasons got by fine without Ghost Harry (although…

Okay, you are now my favourite person.

12 hours of just Michael C Hall chopping wood while occasionally stopping to take a shit would still be more watchable than season 8 (or season 6).

I am your great great grandfather, and I am here to tell you everything you've just heard, but you might want to also have an internal monologue just to clarify everything you've just seen and been told. Otherwise you can never be a good father/husband/whatever personal crisis you're facing this week.

I can confirm that (four months later) I've only just watched the episode and it was still a surprise. Nicely played, everyone.

Some very bad, very clichéd writing here. Stick got two 'I know something the audience doesn't know' sentences in the space of a minute. Yeesh.

It's little things, but I really get taken out of the show when the actors mispronounce things like 'cryptographer' or say 'naught point twelve percent' as though they've never read a decimal before. Or when Charlie Cox's American accent slips.

Actually, I don't want to know anymore.

I wonder how Jean-Ralphio's Lady Marmalade sounds…

Lorne is one of mine too (and honestly, he's about tied for favourite with Rogelio from Jane the Virgin). He's a green singing demon - how he's not widely recognised as the greatest character TV has ever produced is beyond me. And what a performance - obviously nailing the comedy (and the music) from the start, but…

Taken way too soon. But he made a heck of a mark while he was here. The comic tribute to him/Lorne (The Music of the Spheres) is very good.

I always thought Jean-Ralphio looked like Andy Hallett (Lorne from Angel).

I like it. Here's hoping it goes to series. What do people think of the other pilots it's up against?

It had potential, and Stephen Mangan was a strong choice based on his performance, but it never really felt like it committed. It should have positioned itself as the anti-Sherlock, but it wound up just being a detective show with a few quirks and a small dose of sci-fi. In fact I, for one, was rather angered when in…

Can Netflix not just make a third season of Galavant instead? (Also, someone stream Galavant internationally!)
