missed it: ######. It got really good reviews and William Hurt doesn't turn poor performance in.

Worth catching on iPlayer, if you are able. If not, get the book. And there is plenty of the real Richard Feynman on YouTube.

Watched the first episode of I, Claudius last night on BBC Four. Typical for the period the whole thing looks very staged, but the writing was spot on and the acting top notch. Even Brian Blessed managed not to shout.

Steady on. It might be all those things (it's certainly a waste of airtime), but surely the Six Nations coverage and the fawning smugness of Inverdale is worse?

Tonight - Spirited Away (2001 124min.) [Film4 6.30pm &+1]. If you've never seen this animated film from Studio Ghibli, do yourself a favour.

Yes, sorry. If I had three choices for 'Room 101' it would be Inverdale, Inverdale and Inverdale. And possibly Michael McIntyre. What do people see in him? STOP LAUGHING AT YOUR OWN JOKES!

Oo, careful. Not a popular view. Still, I'll happily help you throw McIntyre in.

Excellent. I think I could whip up a pretty handy and sizeable mob - I don't know a single person who finds him remotely funny. Most other stand up comedians don't, though I suspect some will be envious of his enormous success. He is coining it in - not as much as Peter Kay (someone who needs to change his material IMHO), but almost as much.

There was a series on BB2 about the business of comedy just after Christmas. Some of the sums being discussed were astronomical. The amount McIntyre could make from a week at the O2 is staggering.

It didn't stop Tommy Cooper being funny, or Billy Connolly for that matter.

Yes, but they were comedy geniuses, whereas Michael McIntyre is a ######.

Anyhoo...

Erm, anyone watching Great British Menu for Comic Relief? I like it. I like seeing professionals doing a show like that.

I've watched the occasional episode. Last week's was unwatchable, though; the judging chef had a ploddingly affected manner and the woman chef was constantly gurning and leaning into the camera.

Haha! I must have missed that. It's the finals week this week so it's all the previous winning dishes. While it's nice to see all the efforts, you do have to watch the previous episodes to see how they did most of it. It's interesting but it is done a bit haphazardly as a programme. And it is on for too long, weeks and weeks of heats.

Better than Food Glorious Food though, "hello, I've made a quiche and I'm old", "that's a nice quiche, you're through".
