I watched The Brood . It had murderous children   with Teletubbies faces . But it was 1979 ,so Teletubbies hadn't been created yet .

The 1956 film Around the World in 80 Days is currently on BBC Two. "Rule Britannia" seems to be playing a fair bit. It does seem to contain a fair bit of colonialism, cultural appropriation and outdated stereotypes.

So it's quite enjoyable then.

[Butterfield]

Ooh, there appears to be a Michael Caine evening on BBC Two tonight.

[Butterfield]

According to the on-screen info, Around the World in 80 Days is "star-studded". I've been watching it for 15 minutes and I haven't recognised a single person yet - and there have been lots of people.

You don't know Robert Newton?

[Butterfield]

No, not offhand anyway.

[Nightjar]

Reginald Denny as a Bombay police inspector?

Wasn't that that poor bloke who got his head smashed in during the 1992 LA Riots.

[Butterfield]

Uh-oh, Native Americans in full gear. I like to think they're all real Native Americans.

[Butterfield]

La Cucaracha being intertwined with generic orchestral music.
