Joanne didn't really know much about Deadpool beyond the name, but apparently she found that there's a great deal in his big screen debut to identify with. Please nobody tell *him* that, though...

Isn't that a *fantastic* cover? Which reminds me, you can find a look at what changed - and didn't - between the novel and the television version here...

TV THAT TIME FORGOT: The Owl Service (ITV/Granada, 1969)

Swinging London crashes PVC-bootedly into folk horror-adjacent rural Wales as mismatched trio of teenagers fall under the sub-Antonioni flashframed influence of local scare stories courtesy of some possessed crockery.

FAO Jim Morrison - when you mention this store where the creatures meet on Love Street and speculate on what they do in there, my guess is that they probably just go 'UNFHM UNFHM' and bemoan yank levers while a scientist shouts "NOT YET YOU FOOL!".

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

TV THAT TIME FORGOT: Round The Twist (ABC, 1989-2001)

Often quite literally down under lighthouse-dwelling escapades of Pete, Linda and Bronson Twist and encounters with reverse-doubles, pants-losing ghosts, all too effective magic lipstick and scatalogically defensive seagulls.
