The party at the end of Right Ho, Jeeves that ensues while Bertie Wooster's cycling to get the key, after Jeeves tricks him into thinking everybody has been locked out of Bingley Court. Particularly the Fry and Laurie TV adaptation version.

I'd like to think I have a decent amount of patience for slow burn story-telling, but I found The Lost City of Z tedious. And I don't think I'll ever again convince my wife to go to see a film based on a gushing AV Club review.

No, it was the fact that, as with season 1, they'd paraded a load of viable suspects in front of the audience with credible motives, and then the guilty party turned out to be an otherwise peripheral character we'd had no reason to suspect. Although at least this time a credible suspect was involved in the crime.

I agree that it was a big improvement on the second series, but there is one big reason it doesn't deserve an A which I will not mention here as it would be a partial spoiler.

Maths. He did the maths.

I think you entered this thread at the wrong comment…

Great album indeed - also includes the brilliant Erase and Rewind which was top ten in the UK.

They're very healthy pescatarians as it happens, like their mother. It's very hard to disguise horse meat as trout.

When the UK had its big horse meat scandal (when supermarket suppliers were substituting it for beef) I told my kids that they mixed it with cheese to disguise the flavour. They believed me until I told them the cheese they used was mascarpone.

60% of the time, that plot would have worked all the time.

There are some good lines in both that still get quoted in this house.

That was my thought. Not sure what the main driver was, but I remember Tarantino saying in an interview that part of the movie was too bloody for western audiences but that Chinese/Japanese audiences were used to it and could watch it all in colour.

My favourite Beatles' album varies regularly and is often just the last one I listened to. But Pepper was a huge leap musically and that's why it is so often lauded (especially if you factor in Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields from the same sessions). It was the first pop album deliberately designed to be a studio album…

"What do jagulars do?" asked Piglet, hoping that they wouldn't.

It reminded me of one time at school where one of the less gifted students asked the teacher what mark he had got in a Maths test.

Favourite regular of the season: Xan
Favourite guest star: Ray Liotta

You are not alone.

Also nods to Zulu/Zulu Dawn including one specific reference to the Battle of Isandlwana.

That was what I immediately thought of - definitely an inspiration for this episode, right down to the mutton-chopped Lionel Jeffries look-a-like.

They could call it Profiles.
