I've always thought Mary Poppins, with her terminal cheerfulness,was more psychotically creepy than poor old misery guts,Tom Riddle. Tiger

I am not enthusiastic about the Olympics but the opening ceremony was incredible. Danny Boyle did a fantastic job. It was perfectly British, and self-deprecation is, like it or not, a huge part of being British.

I absolutely loved it, some of the music sections could be seen as going too far, and I was a little meh about the Artic Monkeys involvement, but nothing took away from it being so very very very us.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
