Question Time. My blood is no doubt about to boil. Now we have a young Tory plant mouthing off. My main object of loathing is Isabel Oakshot, or Patronising Turd as I prefer to call her.

I did watch Robinson Crusoe on Mars on Film 4 yesterday. Cracking stuff, although I wasn't sure about some of the science.

Does it matter? There was stuff I saw on Star Trek back in the 60s that I thought there was no way that is possible, yet today it is commonplace.

The current technological advances are mind boggling and each new dawn will no doubt speed up that process to things we haven't yet dreamt of.

Skinheads wearing hover boots maybe.

That's the end of that then!

I'm watching The King on Netflix.

It's a lengthy 220-minute film about the life of Henry V and I have to say it's pretty good.

I'm about 40 minutes into it and young Henry is walking in the grounds of an absolutely massive stately home of some sort.

The year must be around 1415.

And the house has glass windows!

I reckon they're all watching the rugby. :|

I'm not! I'm fact-checking the science in 1956's Earth vs. the Flying Saucers.

Laughing out loud You wouldn't let it lie, as Vic often said.

Sarah Lancashire's done some pretty decent telly work in her time and her latest drama, The Accident, appears to be pretty decent too.

I'm watching it at the moment and so I know exactly what I'm talking about.

I wouldn't describe it as "brilliant" but, equally, I see no reason to knock it.

A great many other viewers, however, are taking an entirely different view - describing the drama as the crappest thing they've ever seen on TV.

Apparently, everything about it is crap - especially the Welsh accents.

I have to disagree: the accents are perfectly okay and so is the program itself.

Honestly, you'd think some people had nothing better to do than complain!

His Dark Materials on BBC1. It's a bit lifeless.
