One of the finest ever. British horror films. Cheap as hell, but powered by wonderful dark imagination to classic status.

I know it’s not your biggest hit, but I love ‘The Horn’ from Fear on Four. A perfect radio horror.

What seeing this week’s episode of SNL UK taught me about comedy.

I used to love Jonathan meades spilling out clever stuff to camera as he strode around in his suit and shades, caring not a jot if anyone understood what the hell he was talking about.

"I can’t tell you how many times I popped in that VHS and let myself access Donnie’s world. Dozens upon hundreds. And much like my own submission to the uncanny, I never aimed to crack its code, but just let it wash over me. I crawled right up inside of it and wore it like a stupid man suit."

Stupid Man Suit | Donnie Darko (2001)
And isn’t that 'Donnie Darko', too? Removed from the impossible tangle of time travel, it's really just a mood.

I see Ann Widdecombe has died. When she was Home Secretary I showed her round Drake Hall womens’s prison. There was a pregnant woman on a bed in the early stages of Labour and she asked the prison officers why she wasn’t handcuffed to the bed. That’s the kind of woman she was.

These guys know their business, sure, but they've been tasked with the impossible. Paddington 2 scans as if Shakespeare and Moliere both rose from their graves and banged out one last triumph together. Fool's errand to go near a franchise after such work. And no, I'm not being hyperbolic.

He was alone beside my cracked headstone. Kneeling in wet overgrown grass. Brushing away the fallen pine cones I had gathered. Graveyard dirt on his hands. “Till death do us part?” I asked. There was fear in his shocked eyes and suddenly blood all over him. My nails have grown so sharp. #WriteCBC

He pulled the bedclothes tight around him, gripping them knuckle-white as he tried to turn away - eyes screwed shut - and slide deeper into the safety of cool, familiar sheets. Something laughed and he felt the breath again, sweet and rotten, as she pressed against him, colder than an open grave.
