Sorry, I meant Zefferelli (did I mispell this?), of course. :$

EDIT: Yes I did, "Zeffirelli".

Also spelt V-I-S-C-O-N-T-I.

Was it Visconti? Blimey, I could have sworn it was Zeffirelli. :(

Anyway, for those who haven't seen Death In Venice, I won't spoil it for you by giving away who the murderer is. Pleased

Human Remains on DVD. Pity they never got a second series, as this was easily the best stuff Rob Brydon and Julia Davis ever did.

Agreed. Though I don't think they planned to do a second series. Perhaps, a few years on, they might think about getting back together to doing something similar?

Last night, I watched the whole of Extras series 2, and actually quite enjoyed it. Not the best sitcom, but some great moments. Opinion changed. :)

I still love the scene with Darren and de Niro sitting in that room together.

Darren is a most excellent character. And I even started to feel some empathy for Andy, but there's still something that bugs me about him.

Want to watch the special(s?) now.

Best Extras episode. The one with Patrick Stewart. F**king fantastic.

Patrick Stewart: So in my film, I play a man who controls the world with his mind.
Andy Millman: Right. Oh, that's interesting.
Patrick Stewart: Yeah. For instance, I'm walking along, and I see this beautiful girl, and I think I'd like to see her naked, and so all her clothes fall off.
Andy Millman: All her - clothes fall off?
Patrick Stewart: Yes, and she's scrabbling around to get them back on again, but even before she can get her knickers on, I've seen everything. Yeah. I've seen it all.
Andy Millman: [pause] Okay. It's a comedy, is it?
Patrick Stewart: No. It's about what would happen, you know, if these things were possible.
Andy Millman: What's the story, though, what's the ...
Patrick Stewart: Well, I do other stuff; like I'm riding my bike in the park, and this policewoman says "Oi! You can't ride your bike on the grass!" and I go "Oh no?" And her uniform falls off, and she goes "Ahh!" and she's trying to cover up, but I've seen everything anyway. And I get on my bike and I ride off. On the grass.
Andy Millman: [increasingly uncomfortable] So it's mainly you sort of go around seeing ladies' tits?
Patrick Stewart: Mainly.
