I don’t think she was in any way dismantling it.  Decolonisation was a matter for politicians and populations. What I do think she did well though was to push for a strong Commonwealth - supposedly the issue which created tension with Margaret Thatcher given her unwillingness to pressure Apartheid South Africa,…

I think most people would call it a sense of humour.

It’s a fair point, but I also expect it’s very easy to rationalise the status quo when you are born into a role so key to that status quo.

I actually enjoyed the film - but I did find myself halfway through suddenly realising it was a remake of Star Wars.

I am of the opinion that there is no place for hereditary monarchies in the modern world, and there is no justification for the inherited wealth of the British Royal Family. On the other hand, she didn’t choose to be born into this nonsense, and in the circumstances seems to have been a reasonably well-adjusted woman…

Disappointed not to see this.

Close to the perfect album.

Clem Burke always felt like the ideal drummer for a different band, but the combination somehow works.

Of course, ironically they do now have the kind of chemistry that would have won her the role.

I discovered Community very late. I started watching it as something it sounded like I’d enjoy. I burned through the first few seasons loving it and ready to evangelise about it, but the last couple of seasons were a slog, and by the end I’d lost all enthusiasm for it.

I see you’ve steered clear of the whole question of why a Welsh football club would be a “mainstay in English football”.  Very wise.

Maybe they could install statues of Hank and Gomie in a slightly better location on higher ground.

I’m with you on that. I always enjoyed it, but it took quite a while before I started thinking of it as being on the level of Breaking Bad.

“I spent the whole morning building a time machine – that’s four hours of my life I’m definitely getting back.”

One of my favourites of that was the Daniel Craig game night (quoting) sketch.

Even if the cops are 96% sure that he is the guy?

Might Jimmy/Saul/Gene give up an off-screen Ed and thereby lead the cops to Jesse?

St George’s Hall (both interior and exterior) was prominently featured in the first Fantastic Beasts film.

I grew up in Liverpool, which has pushed itself as a film location over the years, doubling for many other cities. It’s always fun to be watching a film set in New York (for example) and suddenly thinking “that looks familiar”.

I assume it’s because he believes his life as Gene is dull and grey after the technicolour worlds of Jimmy McGill and Saul Goodman. That certainly applies to Kim in Florida.
