A truly special film and a truly filthy white suit, bested only by Warren Oates in Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia (L) and Lee Brilleaux in Dr. Feelgood (R). More (good) examples appreciated. Clean white suits in movies not acceptable.

For his Apollo and Daphne, Antonio Pollaiuolo in the 1470s chooses an uncomfortable moment when the heroine's treeness is well advanced. Eco-friendly!

Anyone enjoying the current re-runs of vintage Call My Bluff on BBC Four might like to check out the show's cameo appearance ten minutes into this barking mad NF Simpson parody. I remember watching this in 1973 and being flabbergasted.

We watched The Bedsitting Room last night for the first time in ages. A work of staggering genius unparalleled in the cavities and coastal inlets of British surrealism. A cast of the immortals and possibly Milligan's finest hour of focussed mania.
