I've been known to binge watch numerous episodes of Antiques Roadshow.All in the futile hope of seeing someone getting their First Edition A Clockwork Orange appraised so I can find out what mine is worth :-(

If only there was some sort of global electronic information system you could consult instead of having plough through all those tedious programmes. :-(

Nothing I do doesn't fit my personality because whatever it is is by its nature part of my personality.

Do you mean what do I do that others would think doesn't fit my personality? Dunno. I suppose you'd have to ask other people about that, really.

You see if I were asked about you, I would say that the most incongruous thing about you is your taste for bland ITV Sunday evening fodder like Morse and whatnot. But naturally you see nothing incongruous about at all. It's all about the gap between our understanding of ourselves and others' - usually faulty - perceptions and prejudices.

Mind you, I do find the tea thing odd.

Yeah. It's all a bit beige, isn't it? No guns, drugs, sex or extreme violence. Just gimpy old Morse gimping grumpily with that dough-faced fella from Auf Wiedersehen Pet and then someone in a college is found to have done a murder or whatever. You sit there in a sort of beige stupor and before you know it you're two hours nearer the grave.

Don't get me wrong, I am not judging you for liking it. We all like a bit of bland now and again. No alarms or surprises - just sitting there wallowing in the intellectual equivalent of a sensory deprivation tank can be very comforting at times.

But they eventually found their spiritual home on Sundays, didn't they? Because they had Sundayness in their very DNA.

Your position reminds me of the hot spice-freak who finds all flavours except very hot & spicy to be bland. You have shattered your sensors with extreme content and find drama without such excessive tropes to be without flavour.

Your loss, tbh.

It's true, a. My televisual diet is a constant loop of ever more extreme pornography and ultra-violence. :-(

Has there been a half decent WW2 movie made in the last 10 years?

Just for clarity, I think you should also acknowledge that I don't like ultra-violence either.

Letters from Iwo Jima and Flags of Our Fathers were OK, but a bit dull. Fury was shÃ*te and so was Inglourious Basterds

Oh, I don't know c, I'm not sure we won, per se. I mean, we got some troops home and everything, but the Wehrmacht were certainly left in control of the town. Country. Continent.

No one's gone to see Anthropoid, apparently. Massive flop at the box office.

I'll bet you that's almost entirely due to the name. Terrible, terrible name for a WWII flick.

Quite interested in that Girl With All The Gifts effort.

Imitation Game was good but not a proper WWII movie. No shooting, tanks, Germans or Japanesers, see? Just a bunch of spods wÃ¢nking on about numbers or something.

It doesn't sound like a proper zombie movie, though. I'm more worried that they only liked it 'cos it's all diverse.

I've only see two of those. Surely the Tolkien nonsense doesn't count because surely only human deaths count?

Dunno. It depends how faithfully you allow your public behaviour to paint the picture. For example, even people who know you well could be forgiven for finally discovering, let us say, a long-held private like or dislike of something and being surprised and describing it as "out of character".
