Caught a documentary about Marcus Rashford last night, how his campaign to get free school meals for poorer kids in the school holidays, whos parents are struggling, eventually persuaded the government to fork out.
It was interesting.
The great British horror anthology 'Dead of Night' (1945) is shown on Talking Pictures TV (Freeview 81) on Thurs at 18.50.
I have only seen it once many years ago but could see how hugely influential it was for future horror compilation films and it also inspired Sir Fred Hoyle's Steady State Model of the universe in 1948 (even though that has subsequently proved to be wrong).
The Ventriloquist's Dummy in particular is a cracker.
Audiences must have shit themselves watching that 75 years ago!

Bloody hell, is it that old?
Yes, looking forward to seeing it again.
