Trashy Old Shorts X

I don’t seem to do much of these any more. I kind of got out of the habit when I had a small baby in the house and there really was no time to watch TV or read books but now that the small baby has grown into a slightly larger baby and seems to have discovered some of the merits of actually sleeping some of the time. Also I’m not sure how much people like me doing short reviews of older material that most people are familiar with. But now I have a bit more space I’ve actually built up a backlog of stuff to cover so let’s make a start: and if you don’t find my coverage of old books and films useful or interesting be sure to tell me so that I can save us all some time and not bother to go over what’s left after we’re done here.
