Just watched THE HITCHER, which I haven’t seen since the days of the video rental shop in the 80s.
It’s a great film. The tension starts in the first few minutes & just keeps on escalating. And Rutger Hauer is wonderfully demented.
Nice exploding helicopter too: @chopperfireball.bsky.social!

This is just a friendly reminder that WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING (1995) is one of the great modern Christmas adjacent romantic comedies.

Had a look at the Royal Mail website & found Lichfield DO listed as a problem area, which might explain the absence of posties.
Currently waiting for the last two Radio Times + quite a few other things...

Also couldn't really see it properly because I didn't have my specs.
I saw eps of Only Connect & University Challenge like that. Couldn't hear them & couldn't read the on-screen graphics. They're very strange programmes when viewed like that.
Helped pass the looooong hours just lying there though...

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND (1977, Steven Spielberg)

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND (1977, Steven Spielberg)
Saw this when I was in ICU. Nurse wheeled the telly over & the ep had already started. No sound though, to avoid disturbing other patients - which made it *very* surreal. I half imagined I'd hallucinated it on a morphine trip - carting that body round, etc - & only later found out it was real.
Last Of The Summer Wine – Getting Sam Home (BBC1, 1983). A dying friend asks the lads to help him visit his mistress one last time. Plenty of standard whimsy & slapstick, but tinged with darker shades. No live audience enhances the atmosphere of this excellent feature length episode.
