Film idea no. 543. Inspired by watching Strictly Come Dancing, a group of locals decide to advertise for a teacher to learn to dance and put on a show to raise funds and save their community centre. Think very British - The Full Monty etc

Charity shop haul today is £1 for 3 DVDs. Zulu, The Untouchables and Pulp Fiction. The Untouchables (one of my all time favourite films) comes with a double sided poster too. Don't get one of those on streaming

@cameronyardejnr.bsky.social just as I was saying. Bring this nonsense back to fill 30 minutes midweek on telly.

BBC Sports coverage of the #Ashes rugby league verges on unwatchable at points and is unbelievably irritating. Stop cutting to shots of the crowd or coaches while the ball is in play #EngvAus

Enya videos always look like someone is very slowly hitting a wedding cake with an Athena print. #totp

Mark Goodier dressed as the Major from Fawlty Towers tonight #totp

Bryan Ferry in his Let's Stick Together era trying too hard to be cool (yes it's the 'stash) #totp

Robert Palmer always looked was effortlessly cool. And a video where he is just part of a whole orchestra - bonus points #totp

Joe Marler was all smiles at the end of #CelebrityTraitors but look what happened when he got back to the car park

Today's film I watched so you don't have to is The 13th Warrior. A vague retelling of Beowulf meaning a dozen Norse fighters and the titular hero, an Arab, go to a village and fight off hordes of cannibals who think they are bears. Nothing great but if you are in to this type of film it's fun

Aljaž Škorjanec becoming an excellent and unexpected comedy straight man to La Voix / Chris Dennis is one of my highlights of this year's #Strictly

Hair stylist went to Hollywood Montrose in Mannequin for inspiration for Harry's look tonight #strictly

PSA.

Always fun when Dave Arch gets a Halloween costume on #Strictly

Just a quick reminder that Lewis Cope is an experienced dancer when he does his tricks, flips and spins on #Strictly

Well done Australia - took the chances you got. Game was there for England but no thrust at all in attack especially in opposition 20 when they had the upper hand. #EngVAus #Ashes

#Ashes rugby league second test far more of a contest than last week. England had the best of the first half and really dominated the middle of the field. They can't afford any mistakes in the next 40 and need to be ruthless in attack #EngvAus

Just noticed that Sean Connery died 5 years ago to the day. Think I shall watch my three favourite films of his this weekend - and not a Bond film in sight

Doctor Who needs a complete reset. BBC can't afford to cancel it. It doesn't need a "superfan" to be show runner. It needs as actual competent professional TV programme maker.

Adverts should be representative of traditional British families

I think it's appalling that Britain's most enduringly popular family don't pay income tax or VAT, but it's hard to deny how much joy they bring to the general public. That chandelier gag alone...

It's entirely pointless people spending money running a website if the article is hidden behind endless ads and pop ups. This is today's effort from Love Rugby League. Absolutely embarrassing effort

It was the doors blowing off kerfuffle that put the Gendarmerie on the scent

Craig is right on #Strictly Energy and enthusiasm is not enough for Ellie. She needs to show proper technique. If a contestant who has had to do a dance with proper technique, and harshly criticised for it, has to go then I don't think it's on

And Lauren's dress inspiration was clearly found at the bottom of a tin of sweets #Strictly

Nikita has been watching Gerry Anderson's U.F.O. for his costume inspiration on #Strictly tonight

Claudia Winkleman leaving Strictly Come Dancing leaves me to speculate wildly that she will get her own Friday night chat show. Graham Norton getting put out to pasture I reckon....

Two fictional "stars" who would be baffled if they were on The Celebrity Traitors - director Marty DiBergi and actor Ward Fowler

I've watched The Empire Strikes Back hundreds of times and it never occurred to me before that Yoda has a set of step ladders somewhere that are compatible with a X Wing. What is Yoda doing with those? It's not window cleaning

Today's film I watched so you don't have to is The Stuff from 1985. A satire on consumerism involving deadly alien ice cream substitute. Watchable and fun but sadly not funny enough to be a genuine comedy or scary enough to be a horror. Includes a couple of actors before they got famous.

Started watching The Office US today. Never watched it before. Watched the first episode of series 1 and then skipped to season 2. Season 2 much better and funnier. 6 episodes in and I'm enjoying it thoroughly

I'm fed up with apps having logos with letters not matching their names making them almost nearly impossible to find. Gmail's logo is a fancy M and Linkedin's logo being the word "in". Don't start me on AA's app being called The AA and My Aviva's logo just saying Aviva

Today's film I watched so you don't have to - Airport 75. The passengers are from Airplane but without the gags. Includes kid needing a transplant and a signing nun. Takes an hour for the actual "disaster" to take place. Heavy on men including, Charlton Heston, knowing better than women.

We've had films based on haunted phones and VHS tapes but we really need a nostalgic 90s horror film about a ghostly dial up modem and Freeserve CD

Louvre robbery. French police release image of suspect.

Amazon Prime is by far the worst streaming platform. Ads in the middle of films and recommendations that are for add on channels is bad enough. Making me rent a film I got halfway through last night watching when I tried to finish it today is obsene

Today's film I've watched so you don't have to was Raise The Titanic. Boring flat and at times baffling first hour. 30 minutes of looking for the ship. 10 minutes of basically filling it with air so it floats and then Russians. Or something.

Carry on Matron

Just popping out to LIDL, or 50-1-500-50 as the Romans called it.

Is it a big mouse or a small duck? Or massive chipmunks and a miniscule dog? The world needs answers Walt

Well pickle my walnuts George is a dancer. Alexis is a great pro too. I really enjoyed that. It was fabulous fun #strictly

Juggling watching Strictly Come Dancing and Super League Grand Final has turned out a bit more difficult than I thought

Those ice cold beverages from the fridge that are just too cold to hold for aobg time should be called drinksicles

Well done Brisbane Broncos. Deserved winners.Absolutely smashed it. Looked like they could have played for another 30 minutes. Only half chances for Storm in 2nd half. #NRL

NRL Grand Final is a bonkers game this morning. Both teams able to produce magic from anywhere on the field. Momentum with Brisbane though going in to the last 20 minutes

Last time he was at a dance he got knocked out by George McFly in the car park. #Strictly

Just booked tickets to see Goldeneye at Cineworld tomorrow. The cowards at Amazon should allow all the Bond films to be shown on the big screen.

Ann Widdecombe and John Sergeant are both raising a glass tonight at Tom on #strictly for giving them competition for the worst dancer ever

Well played Hull KR. Never looked like they would lose.

Alabama student Gabby had never kicked a football before today, but Pat McAfee invited Kirk Herbstreit to throw the ball through the uprights to give her $300,000.
