There's a gigantic spider decided to perch three feet from where I'm sitting. I'm having to keep a close eye on it to see what it's getting up to.

That would have had people fleeing the cinema in terror when the film was first released. They would have been scared it was going to run them over. That's how things were in the 1940s.

How come Arthur Askey wasn't young in in the 1940s? I mean, there must have been a time when he was young. How could he already have been old even then?
