Letter From Siberia (1958) - a fascinating, charmingly whimsical documentary now as intriguing for its distance in time as much as in location.
The Fearless Vampire Killers/Dance of the Vampires (1967) - which I have always had a soft spot for. Very much of its time, but I continue to enjoy it.
Life of Brian (1979) - I have always felt that the whole speech impediment section was out of place among the rest of the humour and that feeling was even stronger now. Oh yes, and the blackface in scene 1 really leaps out too. Otherwise, brilliant.
You Won’t Be Alone (2022) - thoughtful and beautiful folk horror on the theme of how to be human.
TV
Penda’s Fen - a Play for Today from 1973, very daring for the time. A coming of age tale with some wonderful combinations of ideas and imagery.
Ghosts - the original UK version. I caught up with season 5 and the Christmas special and finale. I’ll miss the characters - especially Robin - but good that it has ended before outstaying its welcome.
Slow Horses - end of season 3 and looking forward to the next. Evidently S5 has been given the go ahead too. It continues to shine.
Big Door Prize - just started. Not sure where it is going, but looks as though it has some potential.
Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) - the original 1969 version. I have seen most of the episodes before, but my SO hasn’t and I still enjoy them.
