As a '70s kid The New Avengers was my gateway into the world of Steed & Co. Wonderful to see the effort that's gone into these stunning new restorations - a vivid new life for the series.

What a treat to see my absolute favourite movie back on the big screen this afternoon - my first time since the summer of '81. But "It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage", right?

Happy 50th, Jaws, you perfect apex predator of a movie. I remember the buzz of holding this original clapperboard from the filming. It went on to sell for £70,000, which is why I'm wearing gloves - wouldn't want to devalue it with my DNA, now would we? I've got city hands, as Quint would say...
