I've polled this one in response to the blog (which has been a matter of debate before I think.) The poll says "Yes" and when questioned more closely says "Get Carter and The Abyss." Now apart from my sad taste in fillums the Poll also said that calling Heather Suttie an eejit was ungentlemanly. Which is probably true. Is it that the chaps want their (subconscious) preference of entertainment to be shared and validated by their peers? Or do they just not see the ad breaks (unless there's flesh in them...) Hmm.

This time 'Glory Box' by Portishead, tonight on the way home.<br/><br/>I suppose I should just be happy that songs such as these get airtime in the first place! It happened again!

I used to watch movies on TV that I had on DVD, but now I have retreated into 1970s sitcom land on a permanent basis, I no longer have that problem.

Tonight, I will mainly be watching:

Man About the House: Series 2
Dad’s Army: Series 5
Sykes: 1973 Series

You try to get that kind of quality line-up on TV nowadays :-)
