Nine years ago Mike Fitzgerald wrote up an extraordinarily fascinating breakdown of the differences between the Tom Stoppard shooting script and the original Jeffrey Boam draft of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.

Watched Bladerunner again last night. Would have been so much better if they had gone with the original idea, that instead of origami unicorns, Edward James Olmos’ character had made balloon animals.

Worth remembering that when you’re humming the greatest Stone Roses songs - Resurrection, Fools Gold, I Wanna Be Adored - you are humming Mani’s bass melody. Not Squire, not Brown, but the bass line

When a big chain shop’s checkout asks you if you’d like to round up your bill and donate the difference to charity, they should promise to match the amount themselves.
They’re the ones with all the money. It’d be like a sort of “tax” that corporations could pay. Exciting!

To recap - when billionaires threaten to leave the country if they’re asked to pay a bit more tax, we should back off and rethink.
When doctors, nurses, transport workers, teachers or anyone in the public sector goes on strike for better pay and conditions, they’re “holding the country to ransom”.

I’m hoping to go to Birmingham on Sunday : a treat for fans of Doctor Who and ghosts. A screening of A View From A Hill and a bonus chat between Jon Dear and writer Peter Harness (Kill The Moon, Constellation, The Zygon Invasion/Inversion etc). 2.30pm!

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.
