A wonderful misunderstanding! Apparently she was voiced by Alicia Witt in a cartoon movie.

I dunno, my knowledge of comic book characters is limited to the X-Men cartoon (which was great) and the squadron of movies these past few years, and Morgan Fairchild (?) was a bit before my time. Aren't most female superheroes quite ambitiously proportioned?

Is this going to be good? I like Krysten Ritter and she's had a run of bad luck. Also, I'm no comic book expert, but surely there can't be an actress alive more suited to play a superhero than Daddario. Her body looks like it was drawn by a 13 year old boy and her eyes look like they belong to an alien.

Ha! Because British actors have never played Americans before. Duchovny would have been great; he has charm, he's funny, he could have competently handled the physical side of things. What's not to like

He should be quite old though, don't you think? I always wanted David Duchovny to play Bond, although he's probably too old.

'What's Bond's age?'
'Well, you know. Whips and restraints and things.'
'No, I mean, how old is Bond?'

James Lee Burke is a beautiful writer, even if he's been retelling the same story for a decade pretty much, by now. I also like Michael Connelly, though his relatively pro-cop viewpoint might grate given current events.

The 'cosy crime' genre is quite weird, I think, especially given that the crime involved is almost always murder. I like reading Christie, even the later books where she seems to develop some crazy conspiracy theories about the future of the world, and I like the TV shows too, but I don't really know why. I suppose…

My apologies. My personal experience was limited to irritation with my parents for boycotting McDonalds because of a story that they provided funding.

I suppose. Looking back the IRA seem almost quaint compared to the things we worry about now.

I loved The Day Today so much. I think when you're growing up there's always a need for TV of a kind that allows you to feel different to the older generations, because they 'don't get it'. For me this was one of those things, along with Shooting Stars.

Is the one in Herald Square the Manhattan Mall? The first time we went to New York I bought a Nintendo 64 there which exploded when I tried to use it back in England.

It must be strange and also frustrating for the people involved, knowing that to some extent they were less successful than they should be because they were so ahead of their time.

Oh wow, I loved murder one! Teddy! He left after the first season, right? And then they had Anthony LaPaglia.

I think I'd agree on the ones I've seen from the list, although it's interesting to try and imagine what your reactions would have been if each show had been cancelled at the end of season one. I would have been gutted about Homeland; even thought the first season could have ended as a great one-off story I don't…

Ha! I know this will probably make me seem either a liar or hopelessly naive but I didn't think of that when I wrote it.

If you had to eat Taylor Swift, what part would you choose? (Clearly not her heart, which is shrivelled and small from being broken repeatedly by awful men)

Good to see yet another brave soul claw their way to success via the unlikely route of an Eton education. Surely acting, at least, should be more egalitarian than this.

Wow, that is positive. I will certainly watch the series - there are so many talented people involved that even if it doesn't work it will be interesting.

What did you think of that? I thought the tone was really weird and hard to pin down, although perhaps part of that was because I went into it knowing the Peep Show team were involved and so had certain expectations.
