@ScarredForLife2 I think I know every note of that album. It was the soundtrack to almost every car journey that lasted over an hour in the 1980s. And when I say the 1980s, I mean the entire decade. And quite a lot of the early 90s too.

@PaulMassie I can’t believe something exists that’s made me like The Beatles a bit less

@archivetvmus71 I think they used that same dungeon set for the final episode of Blackadder 2

@TheCinesthetic I did see at the cinema. Blown away. What a good year for movies 1999 was.

@TheOscarRace Brutal scene. Remember being completely taken by surprise the first time I saw it.

@terrychristian Be good to see more televised debate in this type of format. I’m fairly sure the closest thing we have now is Question Time and that feels more like a platform for politicians than a topical debate programme

@Noirchick1 Sunset Boulevard.

[Greg Hirst @grghirst]

@TheStingisBack I’d agree.

[Greg Hirst @grghirst]

@CinemaTweets1 Special mention for King of Comedy surely?

[Greg Hirst @grghirst]

@HorrorHammer1 Saw psycho in the cinema in the 90s at a classic film screening evening so would have to be Jaws for me

[Greg Hirst @grghirst]

@TheOscarRace 1990/1991 and 1999 all strong contenders

@ScarredForLife2 Vividly remember doing this at school. Watch an episode on the big wheeled in TV then read the corresponding pages in the book before doing the exercises. I remember us all watching the White Knight through our fingers 😂
