WEEK 29 - THE PROFESSIONALS

Friday. It makes so much more sense than the (previously traditional) Thursday slot when you remember you have no Essex train journeys...

WEEK 25 (PART 2/2) - SEVEN MEN FROM NOW

Sunday evenings have rarely been better. Off work on the Monday. Suddenly the Antiques Roadshow theme tune seems less threatening. Add...

Did somebody say Just Eat? Yes, it was time to drag myself kicking and screaming into the 21st century world of online takeaway food...

WEEK 14 - SHANGHAI NOON

What I like about this list of 100 Westerns off the Rotten Tomatoes website is that it gives you a nice broad spectrum of 'styles' of...

WEEK 13 - GIANT

It was time for a #WWWSI night for the first time in over three weeks. The truth is, what with the pubs reopen and the British Real Ale...

WEEK 12 - TEARS OF THE BLACK TIGER

"Mad as a bag of spiders" sums it up pretty nicely really. The fact I had to get this second hand on DVD shows what a cult classic it...
