Very sad and shocking to hear about Roger Lloyd-Pack. One of the loveliest most talented actors I've ever had the privilege of working with.

Very sad news about Roger Lloyd Pack. Trigger was an ancestor to Father Dougal and I'm glad I once had a chance to tell him so.

BBC Two’s The Science of Doctor Who was more of the former than the latter, but still an entertaining celebration of ideas…
Can you imagine Rufus Hound as a long line of disassociated atoms? Professor Brian Cox can. He can imagine lots of things: diagrams drawn from the perspective of a black hole (how does it hold the pen?), bits of card as “pieces of space-time”, and the concept of looping energy and matter around so that your future light cone touches your past light cone (I think I did that once in yoga).
Armed with just a candle, a blackboard, and a handful of TV’s most innocuous celebrities, Professor Cox set out to explore the science of Doctor Who. What, about the world of the Doctor, was really possible, and what was science-y bunkum? Could regeneration ever happen? Can something really be bigger on the inside?...

Susie Orbach's sober documentary about the sexual abuse of children was horrifying but timely

Ok, it's not very festive, I admit, but it is topical… On Tuesday morning, Radio 4 took a sober look at paedophilia in the UK in Analysing the Sex Offender. Susie Orbach, an intelligent and engaging presenter as well as an impressive psychoanalyst in her own right, talked to experts and… well, just experts. What she discovered was interesting, if utterly appalling. Here are some stats to ruin your cornflakes. Around 10% of children are sexually abused, with girls around twice as likely as boys to be victims. Predatory paedophiles such as Jimmy Savile are rare compared with the offender who abuses one or two children, within the bounds of his family or friends,...

Here's a great piece of B-movie style vintage poster art for a fake Star Wars-inspired horror film called Lair of the Rancor, which looks like it'd be a great movie! The poster was created by Mark Daniels and Mark Steel. I love the vintage horror movie feel that it has. I'd like to see some more of these fun Star Wars poster concepts. I love the tag lines used in the poster as well. Do you have any ideas for a Star Wars B-Horror film?...

Rating: 1.5 out of 5 stars
Highly publicised (and perhaps vindicated) by the British press in the week leading up to the Cannes Film Festival, comedian/filmmaker/actor Keith Allen’s new documentary Unlawful Killing spends the majority of it’s running time telling us that a Nazi Prince Phillip – husband to a ‘mafia’ style Queen of England – plotted to kill the former Princess Diana of Wales and her lover Dodi Fayed in that mysterious Parisian tunnel car crash in late August 1997 that took both their lives, and that of their driver Henri Paul.
It’s a sensational claim in what is an absurd but nevertheless entertaining and fast-paced film which Allen calls ‘the anti-dote to The King’s Speech’ – a supposedly revealing and insightful argument for why murder most foul was committed by a paranoid Monarchy and how it was ‘skilfully’ covered up by France and Britain, beginning just minutes after the crash.
