Black Swan
Intensely creepy, but amazingly well done. My friend and I watched the end sequence twice.

@ Infi: Ooooh. Intriguing title and has PSH in it. Gonna go find me a copy of that pronto!
I've been on a documentary kick just lately. Been buying boxsets on Itunes  Wonders of the Solar System, and Wonders of the Universe (Love me a bit of Cox) were awesome. Seen them before in bits on tv, but this was first time I sat and watched from start to finish. Also, just finished the box set of A History of Ancient Britain, and finished watching A History of Celtic Britain on tv (same historian, they follow directly on from each other). I also have the first couple of episodes of Human Planet downloaded and ready to go! Am now starting on Michael Wood's 'Story of England'. I love Michael Woods. He was the first historian to really reach me. Watched his Domesday series when I was 12 years old and fell in love with him and his subject :p Here's a clip of Woods in the early 80s, from his In Search of the Dark Ages series. His style is very inclusive (to me) and he framed things in a way that fired my imagination and fascination. And a more recent clip from 2009, the opening to his In Search of Beowulf (or, 'On Beowulf' in the US):

Other than Planet Earth and Life, is there any Attenborough on Blu-Ray?

I spent last night soaking in the quirky interestingness of Doc Martin.
Finished Series 1 and am partway through Series 2.

I always try to watch Have I Got News For You*, but I sometimes miss it. I can't miss it when Martin Clunes is a guest host however, as Dad laughs loud enough to wake the The Sleepers. That reminds me to catch Have I Got More News For You the next day (which is 15 minutes longer and takes in some of the bloopers). * Long running BBC satirical/ comedy news programme. I urge everyone to try and find it and just work through the fact you don't know all of the news stories or protagonists (for furriners I mean). I still need to watch Black Swan. I may buy it in a year, second hand. The more copies sold, the cheaper it will be (FAR cheaper than going to the cinema) and in fact cheap enough to take a chance on.

Oh. Heya Sundae, check this out.
You've probably already seen it, given the guest but I figure you might have missed it due to having taken an early dislike to QI :p (incidentally, if the main thrust of that was the early errors you caught them out in, it turns out they do corrections and retractions each series and have a forum for pedents like you and I to go and lodge our corrections and complaints ) Aaaanyway. This should be in Funny Youtube Clips, but your comment above re: martin Clunes reminded me I;d intended to show this to you. Not that it is Martin Clunes....oh buggrit, whatever, here it is, Mark Gatiss in QI: Gatiss is just pure class. My first choice for the role of the Scarlet Pimpernel. His Sir Percy Blakeney would be a dream.

Oh, and For Wolf:
Martin Clunes (Doc Martin) in Would I Lie to You. A panel game in which celebs and comedians attempt to lie through their teeth, (brit reference: Michael Winner is a horrible food critic and famed Big Mouth who also does a range of very annoying car insurance commercials)

Thanks for thinking of me
Pretty much all you say is true. QI REALLY tightened up from the beginning. The idea of "points for creative answers" stopped being Lying For Fun in later series, and became amusing answers refuted by Stephen Fry. Not surprising given the combined IQ of many of the guests. And yes, I saw The Lovely Mark Gatiss episode. RIP Linda Smith. He's not at his best on a panel show. Better on radio shows actually, which he has a huge reverence for. For which he has a huge reverence for? He is likey anyway, and it comes across.

Have you seen JB on Never Mind the Buzzcocks?
Nice because it has Bill Vailey on too (not that I have anything against Noel Fielding) Here: He was also on Would I Lie to You but it was a bit odd. He laughed, but I'm not sure if I liked it. So no link.
