Recorded (Incidentally if you look on iPlayer for Mark Kermode’s Film Review this week, there’s a reasonably extensive look at the film. He loved it.)

Highly entertaining, I thought. Found myself thinking that Vic Reeves must have had some influence from Robert Lloyd. Lloyd also reminded me in the present day of a character from Viz...and boy, could he sink the pints. The film had a great bunch of cameo guests, one of the best being Nigel Slater...and it's always great to hear Peel on the radio.

This weekend was a delight from start to finish, though a good friend I attended the first concert with died with COVID-19, 14 days later.

A brief digression - "momentarily" is another word which may have different nuances in the USA.

As in - sitting on an aircraft about to take off:

Captain: "We're just waiting for an incoming flight so we'll be about another minute. We will be taking off momentarily."

Passenger: "I hope it manages to stay up longer than that!"
