And the soundtrack is sublime…

Nonono it already has a meaning. it means loud fart. Dan did not do his research!

One for his nob.

This is interesting, because I love and adore both Dumont and Andersson, and yet I didn't get the Andersson vibe from this at all. Food for thought! Your comparison makes sense, it's just that I felt the surrealism here worked differently, maybe, was doing something different.

I love Dumont's work,for the most part - I think he's a genius (and geniuses can go far off the rails, but, for the most part.) I found P'tit Quinquin to be an odd mix of tones, though, and it will work if you buy into the surrealism and the irony and it won't if you don't. It should be celebrated for the clever ways…

Maybe Marvel should reboot the short lived '80s TV series Manimal just to see what happens.

I thought Linda Barton was worse. But it's a close call. At least Robyn sort of had a part to play in the story.

As opposed to Old Amsterdam, where a mouse lived in a windmill

I didn't know that. I'll ask my mum or her siblings if they know more about what happened - sadly both my grandparents are dead now so I can't ask them. I don;t know if he left the Church but he may have done. It must have been a bigger deal than they let on to us kids. We have never been a family that talks much…

But York is a city in England!
I always wondered why all your place names that are presumably named after towns back in England don't have New on the name. New Boston etc. I guess New Newark would sound silly. But New Jersey and New York are fine. Weird.

I'm trying to watch the whole of Prime in this six-month free trial! I may rewatch Happry Endings more than once in that time.

Pins! You lock me in the cellar and feed me PINS!

Black! Like the endless blackness of space that leads to the chasm of clams!

I have to admit I still find Vicky Pollard hilarious. The rest is hit and miss but she never disappoints.

It is one of the best things ever.

when you see tweets like the ones contained here: http://usuncut.com/news/sta… it's pretty clear that racism is going on. "Nerds" might want to think about whether this is the kind of sentiment they really want to seem to be aligning with.

Yeah I have heard similar from friends, and maybe my grandparents found it difficult at the time (I'm old, this was the late '30s/early '40s) but never told us about it, hence us feeling it was more normal than it was. (that's what I meant really, I was aware it was a thing but because it was a familiar thing to me,…

The second does follow directly on from the first so I say it's fair. Plus you're right, it's just after Christmas - Ollie complains about being given socks and Harry Potter and Terry complains about having to spend it with her mum in a care home.

My grandad was a Catholic who married a Protestant so I always thought it was a fairly ordinary phenomenon. (He had family in Liverpool but wasn't from there himself).

It's on Amazon prime for me in the UK - I don't know if that means anything though, I don't know if amazon is like Netflix and has different things in different countries or not.
