Most wittertaining it is too. From here I found Mark Kermode’s uncut video blog. Why mention this now? Well, may I present to you Revue: Star Wars, The Clone Wars. I’ve heard a clip of the dialogue in this film and it makes the Phantom Menace sound like Shakespear.

Well, I love Radio 4, which happens to turn 40 this year. Louise says I was born about 40 years old, so clearly that’s where my affinity comes from.

I love the news coverage, I love some of the classic comedy shows on a weekend lunchtime, and I love the sheer randomness of what I learn. I go through cycles of listening to Radio 4 and at the moment I’m listening to it every day on the way to and from work. This week I’ve learnt that Mark Knopfler worked as a lecturer in English, that parliamentary elections are decided by drawing lots in the case of a dead heat, and that you can drive a rat by remote control. It’s like having Wikipedia on random play.
