    I think there are plenty of pussified dads out there, I work with a few for a kick off - but no way could anyone put up with the little lad without giving him the occasional back hander.

    Watched The Lost Christmas last night. Quite a magical, twisty-turny tale - with a happy ending.

    Although I enjoyed it [perhaps not as much as the first series] I didn't understand The Killing at all.

    The first or second series, Moehat? In the first one, I picked out the killer early on, but it was a lonnnggg series, while The Killing II was only 8 shows and over. Both fairly labyrinthine and I probably could see No.2 again to get all the pieces of the jigsaw in place properly.

    The first series was so long it wasn't worth trying to piece it all together, so I just let it wash over me. I felt with this series it would be possible to keep tabs on what was happening, but I failed right from the start. Not that I'm any good at working out what's happening at the best of times. A lot of it just didn't ring true with this one. However, I still can't wait for the next one!

    Starts off okay, then less interesting.

    I'd recommend doing a scene search for the bit where the muckle yoke starts whacking it into Cleopatra, then throw it away once you have your breath back.

    redhead; is that the film set in America/Canada that about a boy [whose parents are moving house] and a little white pony? It used to be on at Christmas for several years, but haven't seen it for a long time. A sort of Chistmassy right of passage film that was quite enchanting and magical. Would love to see it again. Ah, no; that was The Last Winter [1990].

    I caught the last half hour of The Lost Christmas - wish Id put it on to record now, it looked fabulous once Id worked out what was going on.

    Just watched "Nativity" - the Martin freeman film. Didnt get to see it at teh cinema when it came out (last year??) wonderful stuff

    Liked Nativity! a lot. Then caught the last half-hour of The Nutcracker (a 2000 version by Covent Garden) and now enjoying the mad Miranda Hart and chums. Patricia Hodge plays a wonderfully status-conscious aspirational mother, constantly disappointed by Miranda's gauche and hearty lumpiness.

    Oh, I love Miranda Hart; the episode where she and her mum went to see some sort of counsellor was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I sat in bed with a glass of plonk watching last night's episode and laughed myself stupid. Did anyone see Miranda Hart in that series she did a few years back ;Hyperdrive? Must get it on dvd sometime.

    She got some stick from critics for her addresses to camera - or, us, the viewers - which I thought was daft. It was refreshing, drawing us in on the joke and, from the sound of the roars, the studio audience loved it, too. No, haven't even heard of Hyperdrive, Moe, so that's one for me to try and see some time.

    Watched the new offering from Denmark - this one is free from bodies, being a political drama with all of the usual back stories to personal relationships we've come to expect from Scandi series: Borgen (Government). It's Sunday nights, double bill to 10, Beeb 4, 9-11 pm. Great acting, plenty of political plotting and counter-plotting, snitches, and ambitious guys with naughty secrets.
