It has nevertheless ignited a regular argument in my house: which is better, Armaggedon or Deep Impact? Mr Barsby has depressingly gone down the bombastic testosterone route.

Spent last night watching The Importance of Being Earnest with NT Live and loved it. But I do wonder of other people find it easier to laugh out loud than I do. #NTLive

YES! THIS. Been preaching about this for well over a decade, since being a journalist & seeing the dying art of irl activism. Clear that the best way to temper people's rage is to give a digital void to scream into so they vent & won't have the urge to actually do anything about their problems

Happy to report that the top two here are absolutely correct 💯✔️🏆. The 1995 BBC #PrideAndPrejudice always reigns supreme, but I can endlessly re-watch the superb 1995 #Persuasion with Amanda Root & Ciaran Hinds - a perfect adaptation. #JaneAusten www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Came here to say that I'm showing the 1995 BBC Pride and Prejudice to E and she is having the most glorious nearly teen reaction, hands to mouth, OMG what is going to happen next kind of thing. Which I'm v much enjoying.

There is something hugely revealing in the rage that her kindness has provoked. A real “HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME LOOK AT MYSELF?” vibe. And something immensely powerful in her continuing to show them up, by insisting on being kind. A beam of light piercing through. Great interview, @maddow.msnbc.com.

I have just pushed a sewing needle under one of my fingernails and am in excruciating pain, but have also just discovered it's Paul Newman night on BBC4.
