Tres Noir! Original (1973) Wicker Man. Urmmm....Grizzly Man! Do all good films end with the word 'man'? No, because Young Frankenstein doesn't!
Don't watch much! BBC 4 documentaries and music stuff are good though don't you think? Sport? The Royle Family? Re-runs of Monty Python, The Young Ones, The Fast Show and The Two Ronnies are always worth it of course! O yeh, there's always Jools' show in the autumn?
Not a great reader me, I'm ashamed to say. Music is the true high art don't you agree? Animal Farm is on the money though! 'Complications' by Atul Gawande is cool for a non-medic type like me! To Kill a Mockingbird....
