Paradox lost no comments

What a strange night: I'd suggested to my father that we watch Paradox (BBC's science/drama/time travel/ mystery) at nine and Cast Offs (C4's challenging/groundbreaking/disturbing/drama/disabled comedy) at eleven.

At half past ten he asked "Shouldn't we have watched Paradox?". I pointed out that we had.

He then said "but that's on at nine". Which indeed it had been. He seemed oddly convinced that Paradox would somehow be after Cast Offs. How spooky he chose a vision-of-the-future show to mix up with one yet to be broadcast.

What a disappointing headline today:

"Is Jordan the Most Hated Woman in Britain?"

It turned out that Margaret Thatcher isn't dead yet . . .

I have a flyer for Stump Cross Caverns, a name that seems oddly familiar.

I can't help wondering if it was the inspiration for Stump Hole Cavern in The League of Gentlemen, which was filmed in Yorkshire and presumably nearby, ably(?) guided by Mark Gatiss.

The Spies the limit? no comments

Tonight a friend confirmed a suspicion I've had for a couple of weeks:

Some TV guides listed a recently screened film as "Austin Powers: The Spy Who S****ed me"

It's a bit late to try and be subtle, isn't it?
