Bernard Hill in Boys and Girl of County Clare (recorded). Seen it before but worth another watch.

What a truly, truly great film.

Outstanding in every way.

Heartbreaking, chilling, terrifying.

One of the best ever.

Hadn't seen it since it's launch, even though I have it on DVD. Until tonight. Forgotten exactly how good it is. Just coming up to what I remember as the most striking cinematic moment I'd ever seen - the disco scene. The way that strobe focusses on the main focus of the picture? Wow.

And that's only remembering it from eight years ago. Not even on screen yet.

EDIT: Yeah, just seen it. As mind-blowing as it was when I first saw it.

you should check out the sequel too, "City of Men" I think - not as good as the first of course, and certainly dosent have the same impact, but still good.

Ooh, oooh, The Manchurian candidate is on channel 4. Nice surprise.

Now then, Genius of Design on BBC2.

I'm 5 minutes in and I'm already p*ssed off with the inaccuracy of it historically. Such as the lie that The German Economy was designed for war. No. No it wasn't, the Germans had the highest standard of living of all the beligerants up until 1943, whenn they finally realised it might be an idea to have a war economy.

Sorry, just had to get that off my chest, was really looking forward to this programme. Harrummmph.

Mrs Enfields out tonight so we'll catch Ashes tomorrow on iPlayer.

Just watched Series one, episode one of the Sopranos on catch up and may well do the next two tonight too!

If anyone ever asks me to describe an average film, I will hand forth my copy of said Manchurian Candidate.

Not a patch on the original version with Lawrence Harvey.

An Audience with Michael Buble. Great singer but these audiences are so off-putting. Full of "celebrities " asking questions that are obviously rehearsed. Much better if it had been Michael Buble in Concert. Great backing band in the old dance-band style.

The question is - if they are rehearsed, how come he made himself look like such a tit?! I mean, I like the guy normally, but that answer to Dermot was a shocker.

Went to the bathroom and must have missed that bit. What was it?

Thoroughly reasonable question from O'Leary:

"Hey Michael, great show etc etc

Say, what with you being a worldwide star now, how do you keep your feet on the ground?"

Bublé:

"Well mainly my good looks and intelligence.

And to call my stardom 'worldwide' is a bit of an understatement... I'd say I'm universal... I'm bigger than Jesus Christ!"

And that's it - no more. No "but seriously, I've got a lot of great friends from way back who keep me grounded" - nothing!

The best You Have Been Watching.... yet. Because the guests are hardly saying a thing, and it's Brooker giving it to some pretty shocking Children's TV. He's done a Screenwipe like this before, but there's other shows on this, and a lot more ad-libbing.
