Little slow tonight isn't it?
White man's burden, white man's burden.
It seems I'm temporarily light.
How's my credit in this joint anyway?

I'm still trying to figure the names of those darned comedies I was watching over there. 2.4 Children was pretty funny, Bread I didn't get, One Foot in the Grave was a riot at times, Vicar Dibly, Father Ted, Bonzai
Then there was one about a writer who'd found out he had a kid and he was in love with a woman who'd become an MP,
and Nick Lindhurst in one about going back and forth in time between now and WWII that was fairly funny, one about canteen cooks, and the one about the toy factory office...

Vicar of Dibley... Very popular, although I don't watch it. One Foot in the Grave, good as far as it goes.
Not sure about that one
Goodnight Sweetheart
Dinner Ladies
So what about Men Behaving Badly? Seen that? That was excellent.

Sounds like Adrian Mole, but not sure if that was on TV...?

Stop that!
You're as bad as my brother. At one point he was watching that film almost daily...
Scary, eh?

That has a really clever plot.
Oh yeah,
Yes, that one's growing on me. It's on BBC America so I can see it here.

Naah, see, to my mind, that film isn't scary. It's chilling, it's eerie, but it's not scary. All atmosfear (hah!) and no jump. I still like it, but it's not a horror film.
And it has a better ending than the book...

Oh, I don't know. The TV adaptation of the first book was pretty good. Not that I remember it from the time, though.

I felt the recent BBC adaption (I think of The Cappaccino Years?) was okay, but it really played the whole thing for straight laughs, and I don't think the books are just straightforward comedy books. There is lot of poignancy in them which was lost in the adaption.

That's it - Adrian Mole, the cappaccino years.

Saw Kubrick's Shining on TV. It kept me literally on the edge of my seat. I'd read the book in a single sitting and was impressed that the film was every bit as riveting. I still haven't got over those King fanboys whining about how Stanley butchered it. He did a helluva lot better job on that book than anybody else has ever done with a King novel. Especially King himself.
