Soup For One
Hi everybody. I’m a bit ill today. Don’t worry, I’ll be alright (it’s just a sore throat with a little bit of a cold). So this post will be slightly self-pitying (well, just the first song) and slightly shorter in length. Also it will feature a couple of tunes that have got me [...]
Banned for Glory (part one)
(Cue Alfred Hitchcock Presents music: Good evening. I’m trying something different this time round. In my continuing effort to cement a reputation for myself as the Nigel Slater of film blogs, I present for you today another semi-autobiographical investigation of a chosen cinematic subject, this time British film censorship.

Yellow Peril
