Glorious night at BFI - The Wrong Box is so funny, so Wildean, so 60s - and it was magnificent to hear it introduced by Nanette Newman, who, unbelievably, is 92. The Forbes centenary season has been a triumph for its curator Jo Botting.

On the BBC News Katya Adler has just described Germany, where the far right AFD keep winning elections, as entering 'uncharted political territory'. Hmmm. Where Germany is concerned I think that territory is pretty well charted.

"Robot beats Usain Bolt" So? 'Hot air balloon ascends higher than Olympic high jumper Gale Lark' 'Submarine can stay underwater longer than Karen Fish of Guildford' 'Lawn mower cuts grass quicker than Herbie Vorr when he's on all fours nibbling' It's a *robot*. False equivalence.

Finally got around to watching John Bowen’s Dark Secret at the #BFI Mediatheque yesterday. What a gloriously twisted tale. I’ve now completed the Mrs Vigo trilogy. Both Robin Redbreast & A Photograph (BBC) are accessible beyond London’s Southbank, but not Dark Secret (LWT). Must be a rights issue.

"Approving new oil and gas fields won't bring people's bills down. But it will release tonnes of CO2 at a time when we are all already suffering the intense effects of the climate emergency.

I don't think many would disagree that Vila was the heart and humanity of Blake's 7, not only for being present in all 52 episodes, but also being by far the most relatable character and a terrific foil for Paul Darrow as Avon.

Re: the last RT. The very worst way to watch Black Narcissus is with motion smoothing on. Did it once. Nearly threw up. If you want to understand how bad motion smoothing is, how much its sheen disengages you from a story, Powell and Pressburger are your test card.

Hello! I've been a bit preoccupied lately with real life and stuff but I've finally put a bit of effort into my Etsy shop... added new prints and restocked old ones. Do have a look. Sharing much appreciated. Thank you. sarahcoomershop.etsy.com

A black and white illustration inspired by Susan Hill's novel The Woman in Black. A woman in late Victorian mourning stands in a graveyard in a flat desolate landscape. There are two stone pillars in the foreground.

An illustration of the ghost of a woman in a dress of the mid to late Georgian era with a sort of skeletal face. She is stood / hovering in front of a detached Georgian house in the dusk, flanked by dark trees, with its front door lit from above.

A print of a black and white illustration inspired by John Masefield's novel the Box of Delights: a bearded man with a heavy pack trudges through snow pursued by wolves. There's a big white house in the distance, and a small aeroplane (in fact a car-o-plane) in the sky. The scene is flanked by trees and emerges from a square box. The face of its beholder is just visible.

A ridiculous black and white illustration (in print form) of worshippers dancing around a ceremonial bonfire in the trees. The flames take the shape of a large cat's head.

Didn’t realise it’s the same guy who wants to close the Prince Charles Cinema and has made Picturehouse Central’s social spaces unusable, who is the twat who allows fold-and-restart wizard-tat-and-candy shops to fill vacant units and not pay tax. Actively damaging quality of life should be a crime.

I wish it were true that "no one is above the law". But while the City of London acts as laundromat for the world's dirty money, as almost all fraud and waste crime go unprosecuted, as no one has gone to jail for the financial crash or the poisoning of our rivers, this is manifestly untrue.

Absolutely we should fear terrorism and seek to prevent it. But we should also fear those who use either real terrorism or bogus claims about terrorism to boost their own powers, restrict our freedoms and corrode our democracy. Both present major threats to public life.
