Foyle's War Season 7, all three episodes.

That could be Hudson Hawk, a true rotter indeed.

I can't say what the worst film I've ever seen was, I tend to quickly forget the dire ones and dwell on the good ones. However Glen Or Glenda has to be up there in the upper echelons of The Grand Stinkeroo Gallery. Maybe the Frank S. film was The Devil At Four O Clock.

Rice, yes. I like to concoct stir fries using mostly veggies, sometimes with some chicken or pork. Course, we all know to boil the rice and put it in the fridge for a while first, right? Take some of the moisture out of it so it doesn't turn to mush in the stir fry. 65 kilos = 143 pounds. Lean. That's great (as long as you're not 6 foot 5 (1.9812 meters -_- ) Everyone uses a rice cooker here. Can't beat good quality Japanese rice. The western idea of a ' stir fry' is a bit different to what we make. Rice is fried with only long onion, egg, salt and touch each of chicken stock powder, sake and oyster sauce. The secret is to use a red hot wok, keep it moving and cook well. Vegs and meat are never cooked with rice but as a separate dish.

I eat very little red meat, but lots of fish and chicken, veggies, tofu, rice and pasta. I'm a passionate fan of Indo-Paki food and eat dal, chana, vegi curries of various types several times a week. We eat fruit twice a day and although I love ice cream and chocolate I usually manage to stay away from them. I run about 6 k's every day and my weight has been 65 kilos for as long as I can remember.

They are all great but Kind Hearts and Coronets is a masterpiece. Don't miss it !

Now that Rubicon and Mad Men have finished there's only The Good Wife that's worth looking forward to. The rest of the newbie US tv shows are various shades of mediocre with the exception of Terriers. I lost interest in Fringe about two thirds the way through season one but after hearing some of the recent upbeat appraisals I'll maybe pick up where I left off, if I can remember which episode. Can't praise The Beeb's 'Luther' enough, check it out if at all possible.

BBC Luther Totally outstanding, head and shoulders above anything else on tv at the moment. Idris Elba ( Stringer Bell) turns in an amazing performance.

Many happy returns, Chris.

Peter Cook At A Slight Angle To The Universe

This week's Rubicon and Mad Men. Both great.

My own concoction, Korean ginseng powder, Bulgarian yogurt, soy milk- a really nice creamy kind that I've only ever seen in Japan- and orange juice.

Usual candidates- Rubicon, Mad Men and Terriers, which is great and for me easily the best of the newbies. BBC Secret Iraq part 2. ITV DCI Banks- Aftermath. The Good Wife is excellent, I wonder why it's little mentioned here. Archie Panjabi, as the assistant, is extremely centered and charismatic, I think she's great.

The Good Wife First season.

BBC Secret Iraq part 1.

This weeks episodes of Blue Bloods and Outlaw. Both mediocre. Terriers, on the other hand, is a surprise, well written, played and genuinely interesting and involving. :tup

The second episode of Terriers. I wasn't sure about episode 1 but got into the second part. Will continue watching.

Little Richard - Get Rhythm

So Chinatown is HORRIBLE & Night Of The Hunter is high grade schlock. I see, thanks for enlightening us.

First episode of the new Dexter series. Hard core.

Not to mention the Lucky Strike account catastrophe.

This week's Rubicon. Coming up Mad Men & Boardwalk Empire.

I'd suggest these. All are highly rewatchable. Out Of The Past Blood On The Moon The Big Steal His Kind Of Woman Angel Face The Enemy Below The Lusty Men Man With The Gun El Dorado

Watched the pilot/first episode of yet another new legal show ' The Whole Truth'. Same old stuff repackaged with shiny new faces. Unimpressed. Detroit 1-8-7 is the best of the newbies imo.
