Ian Potter

Is that because of how long it now takes you to manage a kick and recover afterwards?

Sadly, they ran out of Latin for new episode titles.

I thought you might have been referring to some long shots on film in the Letts' version where it's said Trevor Peacock isn't being Quilp yet (never seen it). It's the Kyd illustration I blame, that's clearly why Troughton gets the gig.

Have you seen that weird YTV all star Dickensian thingummy? Pat does his Quilp in that.

How did you feel about the way ITV approached that in the Toby Jones version? I thought it really worked.

The cartoony hat Q needs a pair of wicked eyes with bushy eyebrows. They've not been paying enough attention to those Scrooge and Oliver! posters.

RiffTrax Presents: The Ghost Ship (with Matthew J. Elliott and Ian Potter) When we hear the words "Ghost Ship," our minds immediately turn to the classic 2002 not-very-good supernatural thriller of that name (Remember the scene where the passengers get cut in half by that

Contains jokes. Many of them are excellent.

And... being a bit silly on Bluesky, that too.

Of course, there are! It's the number one route to becoming a creative seeker of knowledge and to exploring our pasts.

And, if you need West Midlands accents for your prehistoric Earth Reptiles, give me a call.

Silurians vs. Krynoids @bigfinish.bsky.social. Writes itself.

Naturally, the second "copyright" should have been property. I wrote the above in a rush in a break from work. I am however glad I wrote it myself rather than giving the job of thinking and expressing my views over to an approximation device that can't understand nuance and can only offer pastiche.

Bloody hell. I am sold. I am so sold!

The comedies are excellent for identifying English teachers in the audience who've read the Arden footnotes and don't need elaborate actorly mimes to spot all the knob gags.

Lear's the daddy.
Hamlet's alright but only if you play the "this line's the title of something else" drinking game.
Troilus and Cressida is the worst reinterpretation of the character 'Just Vicki' since someone decided her surname was Pallister.

The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

If you'd like more riffing featuring one of the greatest singing voices of a generation* it might be worth you paying attention to the title getting released this evening. Ooooh...

*Not this generation, a generation that goes to another school.

Now, *this* is how you do singing on a riff.

Had a run at the gym. 8.3 km listening to a man talking about the MC5 with proper swears and everything. Nice. Subscribers get more...

Picking a Twilight Zone to watch from recordings off the TV, about a third of the blurbs are about a timid little man undergoing some kind of transformation. It's like Rod Serling's target audience was the guys who get sand kicked in their faces in Charles Atlas adverts.

This puts me in the potentially awkward position of rather fancying a Wicked Witch of the West played by Pamela Brown.

I have few ambitions left but I'm still keen that my last words are "You? What are you doing here?" and that they end up being recorded from an angle where you can't see who I'm talking to.

If I could have my midlife crisis again I'd be exactly here. ⬇️

It's great that a wider audience can finally catch up with what's easily my favourite piece of work by Ricky Gervais.

We lost Kenith Trodd last weekend, a brilliant producer and forward-thinking man who believed deeply in television and the British screen. He was ahead of his time in many ways. "A film is a film is a film."

My tribute is now up on the BFI website: www.bfi.org.uk/news/kenith-...

They're all back, Jonny, and, although it was never clear from the camera scripts, contemporary reviews and off air audio, the girls are mostly in the nuddy. No one's quite sure how John Cura kept missing it.

The next post reveals something untoward has happened to James. A media figure and a representative of Private Eye sit to his side.
