I think that may have been the very film being discussed when Forbes' name came up and the other co-host provided the necessary education.

101

Yep. A few weeks earlier they said they'd never seen A Night to Remember and that had raised my hackles but to have a total ignorance of Forbes' place in the British film industry as a supposed film critic? Fuck off.

100

At his best, Forbes was bloody good. Great to see BFI give him his due like this. A podcast I listen amazed me a few weeks back when the co-host, a British freelance genre and horror film critic, said they hadn't heard of Forbes and "should I know any of his work?" (or words to that effect).

100

That coupled with giving his address as no fixed abode meant it was inevitable. These morons grasp at such straws.

Had to go to local hospital for a pre-op assessment this morning. Very efficient, nice staff. But £4.10 for ONE hour's parking! This NHS Trust apparently made over £1 million profit on car parking in the last financial year. Bet they bloody did.

Yep. And so often half the spud is black and you only end up with half an already small spud.

Adored Stephanie Cole since discovering the second series of Tenko in the early 80s. Could break your heart in drama then kill you with her superb timing in comedy. One of our greats, and should've been a DBE. Vale.

These things go in threes. Dolly was 80. Tim was 80. Trump is 80. A boy can dream.

Paul Scott @pauldscott.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

And now Tim Curry. Christ's sake. Can we lose someone we all hate next?

Paul Scott @pauldscott.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Couldn't we have kept Dolly Parton a bit longer? God knows we need more people like her. Prodigiously talented and incredibly generous and decent.

My dad didn't drink, so I saved myself around £2 back in 1992.

I have no children. Who can I rely on to buy me a pint and a bag of nuts?

Paul Scott @pauldscott.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Inevitable. You've already decreed the top slot 😆

Paul Scott @pauldscott.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

I think I might give it a go. Although I may need to rewatch half the films. I'm going to be laid up for a couple of weeks after a foot op at some point before Christmas. That could stop me being bored.

Paul Scott @pauldscott.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

There's an article here. Ranking all the greatest shit lines from the Bond films. There's at least one in every Moore, Dalton and Brosnan film.

I stage managed for Jimmy Cricket once. Eighteen months later he was performing at the other (larger) theatre in town but popped into my place first to say "Hello" and see how things were. Just the loveliest guy.

Another author tells me Jason Arday's forthcoming memoir has been co-written. Now we know what The Salt Path's Raynor Winn has been up to for the last year.

Never understood why Ange wasn't considered a beauty when younger. She's gorgeous in Dorian Gray, sexy as hell in Harvey Girls.

Reverse this stupidity. Find £3m easily by reducing Parliamentary catering. Net cost in HoC was £7.4 million in 2024-5. HoL catering typically incurs an additional multi-million-pound deficit, which previously totalled around £8 million over a 3-yr period. #JodrellBank

My usual appeal at this time of year to musical directors and those who programme Christmas concerts to include the beautiful award-winning The Bee Carol @johnwmerrick.bsky.social (hear on the link below)... www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/a...

More importantly, I'm LOVING the recording!!

Great article. Just for reference, Durward Lely created five of the G&S roles as well as taking over Frederic from Power and being Alexis in the first revival of Sorcerer. His grand opera and concert career suggests he was a singer first and foremost but his acting was better than usual.

Paul Scott @pauldscott.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Happy Quatermass Day to those who celebrate and especially to those who keep the flame burning such as @tobyhadoke.bsky.social and @accordingtojond.bsky.social

Paul Scott @pauldscott.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

This is why I say if there's lots of dance it's a musical, if there's little or no dance it's musical theatre. The latter is more about acting through song and the music is taken seriously with few liberties (eg Sondheim).

The Future Mrs Scott and I had the same discussion recently. Came to the conclusion that it feels too slow (although we stick to it) because with our cars at least it's that awkward point in the gears where it sounds like it wants to change up to 3rd but doesn't like it if you do.

Arthur Fery, you little beauty. Another fabulous match but that third set? #Wimbledon

It would be sublime, wouldn't it? I'm really thinking of going canvassing for him. Just denting Farage's majority would be a humiliation and for Farage to see folk all across the country coming to campaign against him. Glorious.

141

I have actually contacted Binface to see if he can track down Flipper and get him to campaign with him along Clacton sea front.

Paul Scott @pauldscott.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

Well, on those that didn't vote Farage anyway.

000

Yes, and it's the board of the Friends that has no issue. Read their comments in their most recent filings.

Paul Scott @pauldscott.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

That theatre has hosted Jim Davidson several times. The manager is friends with Davidson and doesn't believe in 'censorship'. The board has previously expressed full confidence in the manager. They don't care as long as money is made.

Paul Scott @pauldscott.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

Same with Curse of Frankenstein. It's an odd mixed strategy. I can see why you might not release standalone until you'd sold most of the limited but then they should do that for everything. That's what Indicator do (very successfully).

Paul Scott @pauldscott.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

Still no standard editions of either Quatermass yet, either, while X is getting limited and standalone at the same time. Very odd.

Paul Scott @pauldscott.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

Friend of mine also involved in this and posted something about it on his Facebook feed ten days ago. My response made him realise he'd jumped the gun a little!

Paul Scott @pauldscott.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

Can't imagine the Police and paramedics will be thrilled with this news.

Paul Scott @pauldscott.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

Wonder if the Police and paramedics agree with you?

THEATRE director Charlie North-Lewis has always been a ‘glass half full’ sort of man – even when his livelihood was thrown into disarray…

Yep. This article from six years ago. The manager's quotes are interesting (as someone in the same line of work). Clearly his board of trustees approve of his programming, reading their most recent report to Charity Commission. www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/1985100...

What a vile example of human being Katie Hopkins is

Some managers don't care. As long as it makes them money.

Pointless. Manager is a mate of Jim Davidson.
