This shot from A Very Peculiar Practice in 1986 was a clear message not only to Daker, but to us all.

Twin Peaks if it counts as horror. In which case I'd claim The Prisoner to some extent. Tales From the Crypt, Midnight Mass, Dramarama(Spooky), Tales of the Unexpected.

Eden Lake for its demonisation of the working class.

7/10 for the achievement I guess, but it is overlong, I mean, rigidly BORING, confusing and basically like watching someone else play the game.

I reviewed The Boroughs, mainly in order to note how like a point and click game it is. outsideleft.com/main.php?sto... #theboroughs

Hellbound Hellraiser 2 is a rare case of a horror sequel managing to hold a candle to its original. At least in our opinions. What do you think of the ratings? Don’t forget to check out the full episode for our thoughts open.spotify.com/episode/266X... What should we review next?

Comedian, nothing wrong with him as such, but become so ubiquitous it becomes annoying, he's a turn up to open an envelope sort of person. And yes, he has a tedious "food" podcast like everyone else.

I mean, and this name might not mean anything, but just how many interesting anecdotes about food can Ed Gamble have?

Ironic message you find if you open developer tools on joinhoney .com. Do they really want even more people poking around there?

8/10 for me where Hellraiser was a 9/10 for its originality at the time, but Hellraiser 2 was just a lot of, well, fun. Bought the "uncut" version bootleg in the 90s. "The Doctor is in..." scene alone is worth it. Only issue is how un hell-like hell seems to be, that's a budgetary issue I guess.

That must be one of the most recent things to vanish that LU has covered! I guess having a very common phrase as its name and the "Jon Snow"/GOT confusion buries it.

@frommausoleum.bsky.social A story of mine called Adult Education is included in this wonderful anthology: proceeds benefit Butterfly Wonderland.

@rianjohnson.bsky.social #wakeupdeadman was amazing. Please write a new script for #jonathancreek and persuade David Renwick to let you do it. Ideally based on The Three Coffins or Plague Court Murders. That is all. I'm sure @alandaviescomic.bsky.social would be agreeable...

"We play notes other people won't have anything to do with" is a cousin of "Do you think you'll ever write a spherical song" from Brass Eye.

I'm rewatching it myself at the moment and noting all the odd "future echoes" of Jonathan Creek that pop up.

“What the deuce is it to me?” he interrupted impatiently; “you say that we go round the sun. If we went round the moon it would not make a pennyworth of difference to me or to my work.”

According to a Pearson advert this is a Year 11 pupil i.e. 15 or 16. So if police start to look young it means you're getting old, god knows what it means when Year 11 pupils look like the 30 something lead singer of a cover band. I don't even think I look this old.

Apparently I score highly for Alexithymia, let's add that to the dysfunctionality pile. #alexithymia I guess?

In the middle of a field, surrounded by enormous cows, sits a tiny white grave encircled in black fencing. This is the grave marker of Robert Snooks, the last Englishman to be hanged for highway robbery back in 1802. 🐮 burialsandbeyond.com/2025/07/22/r...
