A few folk I know would benefit greatly from this mind blowing body art by having their head transformed into an enormous penis, thus removing all doubt. :lol:
Saw the Churchill movie at the weekend starring Gary Oldham.
Its received near universal acclaim.
It presents a franker view of Churchill - the drinking, the mental instability - than is commonly...

Carrie - your question is a good one. Few historians have a sensible answer except that his concentration on the war left him with few post war policies that would win votes. Attlee on the other hand...
Fascinating BBC Hardtalk interview today featuring Zineb El Rhazoui.

Dusak and Newcastle agree with almost all.
However, satire seems almost dead even though we have the best educated generation in the history of the world. Punch is absolutely dead and Private Eye...
An interesting coverage of the rise and fall of Bassem Yousef's satirical show Al Bernameg. The film is available through various internet outlets....maybe some have subtitles to cover the Arabic...
Over the weekend I came across an old film being shown on TV and decided to watch it, I had last seen it many years ago and probably well before I had made any visits to Egypt. The film was...

Looks like a very interesting film. I'm going to check it out for sure. By the way, who's the narrator in the trailer? His voice sounds so familiar.
I think you will find it is the British actor Leo...
I've just been catching up with some programmes that I've downloaded from BBC iplayer. For those that have access to it, I recommend the two episodes of Alternativity . The first one is a documentary...
There is a new TV/film documentary that tries to put the bits together in the complicated story. Its got faults but is beautifully made, maybe a bit too poetic, and by arguably the world’s greatest...

The Civil War one is fabulous, as is it's music; I still have and play the cassette (yes, cassette).
For weeks now, various TV channels in the UK have been showing Christmas movies. I moan that they start showing them too soon but must admit to having already seen more than more fair share. I get a...

No films on my list, no tele for Christmas. Last time the television was switched on in my home was a couple of weeks ago when I had friends visiting and they wanted to watch the news.

Maybe the hotel won't go ahead and maybe the murderer will go broke.

Thanks for the heads up on this one Hepzi as I would have missed it, I managed to watch it on the Demand 5 channel. I think it showed the real Egypt that many of us would recognise, unfortunately as...

A 2015 UK doco nominated for a BAFTA and won an Emmy.
Its got lots wrong with it – including a self-promoting film maker – but lots to recommend it.
It takes a number of bios of formerly radical...

An interesting documentary, as you say Hafiz.
It makes a kind of sense (identifying what triggered extremism) ....but it's dangerous to extrapolate the stories of so few (20 + years ago) to the many...
When Om Kalthoum died in 1975 the country erupted in mourning. The truth of the matter is probably that her funeral was larger than Nasser’s – although ‘official records’ tell another story. Some say...

Brian Cox did a TV doco on this issue in 2014. Its visually pretty, complex and hard to understand. The fact that its about the most important issues in the...

I think the documentary you are referring to is part of Brian Cox's 'Human Universe' 5 Part series.
You can view Part 2 Why Are We Here at .....and the rest of the series as well if you so wish....
