Readers replies: why does a song sometimes get stuck in our heads – and what makes an earworm?

Any time I look to see what the Labour government is up to in the UK it turns out to be things like making posters that Alfonso Cuarón put in the background of the long tracking shot that opens “Children of Men”.

JW Top Secret! Not seen it before, though I have seen many, many clips so it's nice to finally see the bits of narrative that go between them. Very funny film, and lovely to see so many British character actors and supporting artists (I recognised them all from the other things they've been in).

I like the idea of Labour replacing Starmer with Wes Streeting but I don't think they should stop there, they should gradually replace the entire cabinet with vague lookalikes giving the same performance, like they did on Bread and Allo Allo.

A perfectly solid pop album from the producer who brought you 'Torn'. Deep Deep Down, My Old Love, Waiting For God also top. You probably know them from the Buffy album.
