@ChrisChapman81 @blytheno @jshallri @irvingact3 I wrote about him here https://t.co/AlSAGN4yyI

Thank you for your kind words. Sam was my dad and I came across this when looking for a photo of him in Blake's 7. He was always amazed at the loyalty of Blake's 7 and Space 1999 fans

My amazing dad died two weeks ago. He scoffed at Father's Day as a made-up thing but the Guardian published my obit of him today all the same

@jamiesont I mean, Tim Dillon did. And then he was dropped from the festival

[Nick Dastoor @NickyD]

@alex_shephard I was sceptical too but this is quite persuasive that at the least many people thought it was him long before Francis died https://t.co/lA0yYWDykF

Today and tomorrow I'll be joining my colleagues at the Guardian and Observer who are on strike for 48 hours. For more information please follow https://t.co/PqYfdtZSXk or visit https://t.co/lmmXZpshWm

@bazzdgrogan @TomBFlanagan And Charles Dance has a daughter born in 2012, who may well live to see the 22nd century

The best thing you'll see on TV all year is probably the six 40 Minutes documentaries from the 80s that the BBC has put on iPlayer. I've watched three of them now and they've all been works of art. Some only available till next Tuesday

@itsnicolefegan OK but in Sometimes, Tim Booth confuses thunder with lightning

@zhuphilia "His fate was moving, but his works were risible" would make a good epitaph

@SkillageSteve Hating the bits on Saturday morning TV when Showaddywaddy turned up.
Stumbling across Sesame Street one day then trying to find it TV Times but getting its name mixed up with Coronation Street and being very disappointed

[Nick Dastoor @NickyD]

@ItsAndyRyan On the other hand it sets entirely realistic expectations of how easy it is to fall into a bitter argument with a family member about nothing

[Nick Dastoor @NickyD]

@anon_opin Tip: don't drive to the next town

[Nick Dastoor @NickyD]

@SkillageSteve Thanks for reply. In that case feels like the short cast and crew list would fill the information gap nicely on iPlayer

[Nick Dastoor @NickyD]

Loosely based on a Two Ronnies sketch, more like

[Film Updates @FilmUpdates]

Sacha Baron Cohen and Rosamund Pike to star in comedy ‘LADIES FIRST’ for Netflix.

Baron Cohen will play an unrepentant womanizing chauvinist who finds himself in a parallel world dominated by women. A fiery female counterpart (Pike) makes things even more complicated.

[Nick Dastoor @NickyD]

@SkillageSteve Meanwhile, the other BBC website page for it does have credits (though Almódovar is missing an o!) https://t.co/QpG3LJaatY

Anyway, feel free to ignore this piggybacking on your tweet but I'm curious

[Nick Dastoor @NickyD]

@SkillageSteve Nice to see Mick Jackson mentioned. I always think it's odd that iPlayer doesn't give key cast&credits when you select the info button - I'd have thought Penelope Cruz and Almódovar would be a draw on Parallel Mothers, for example https://t.co/VBjjBmlrnX

[Nick Dastoor @NickyD]

@IrkthePurists Same, yes. I think it's a combination of my big toe pointing up a bit and me not cutting the nail often enough

[Nick Dastoor @NickyD]

@itsnicolefegan Also Daisies (Věra Chytilová, 1966)

[Nick Dastoor @NickyD]

@itsnicolefegan I love a lot of the films on your list, also:

Ratcatcher (Lynne Ramsay, 1999)
Bright Star (Jane Campion, 2009)
