For me it was the accent. Harris was Irish but didn’t play Dumbledore with an Irish accent. Gambon, although Irish, did not himself have an Irish accent after moving to England when he was young, but for some reason decided to put one on. And at least in his first Potter film, it was not great. Still a fantastic actor…

Bizarrely, I came down here to say the same thing.

I’m hoping Our Flag Means Death hits its stride this season. I was a little disappointed with Season 1, but I’m rooting for it.

The one thing making me want to see it is the presence of Nicholas Lyndhurst, who is UK sitcom royalty.  Whether he’ll be a good fit remains to be seen.

Learning that this happens routinely in the US outside of religious communities for whom it’s a ritual, was definitely one of the more WTF? moments in my life.

Are you one of those guys (mostly rugby players IIRC) who used to brag about how many 10p pieces they could fit into their foreskin?

Some anti-semites use hammering Israel over Palestine as a way to be anti-Semitic while being able to argue they are not anti-Semitic. Some supporters of Israel use accusations of anti-Semitism as a way to suppress (legitimate) criticism of Israel. Anti-Semitism is a big issue in the world, and it’s fair enough to be…

I know this is an important story so I shouldn’t really be focusing on this, but “the Potomic”?

Fair point - there are definitely a few songs in the Queen back catalogue that Rodgers is perfect for (mostly their early stuff, but the occasional 80s track as well).  And Sam Ryder is a good call as well - but that depends on who gives up first - Lambert, or Taylor and May.

Woah - that list suggests there’s a good Spin Doctors album.

Yes - but he was being outsold by the likes of the Steve Miller Band. I agree “Superstardom” is probably not the right phrase though.

There was a lot of that kind of thing with Killing Eve. I can’t remember if it was the second or third series, where it seemed like they got to episode 6 assuming it was going to be a 12 episode season, and then found out that it was only 8 episodes and had to somehow wrap it up.

My brother’s prog heavy record collection thankfully did not include Love Beach. That cover photo is what I imagine Spinal Tap would look like as yacht rockers. And that song is really, really bad.

I’ll also say I really like the title track of American Dream. It was on the juke box in our college bar in my student days. But an American student who’d come over to study there refused to believe it was a CSNY song.

Killing Eve just got progressively worse (but still watchable thanks to the cast) after season 1, so it wasn’t just a case of a so-so last season.

I think Paul Rodgers would have been a fine fit with those musicians back in the early 70s, but by the 90s, Freddie had taken them all in a direction from where they could never return.

Give My Regards to Broad Street was the first non-compilation album I owned (a requested birthday present off the back of loving No More Lonely Nights). I enjoyed it a lot at the time but don’t look back on it with any great love.

The Final Cut is OK, but definitely where I lost interest in Floyd, and I don’t think the subsequent removal of Waters improved them at all.

I know Tonight was a bit of a disappointment given what Bowie had produced in the preceding decade, but I’d give it credit not only for Blue Jean, but Loving the Alien which is a favourite of mine.

I enjoyed the moment in NCIS where somebody asked Gibbs what Ducky looked like when he was younger, and Gibbs replies “Ilya Kuryakin”. A subtle nod to the fact that McCallum was a much bigger sex symbol than Harmon ever was.
