So, apart from electron microscopes, GPS satellites, hoover bags, protective tape, flasks, cleaning equipment, food preservation, chemical engineering, vessel-proofing, space probes, testing chambers, kissing and eye-watering fellatio, what have vacuums ever done for us?

And hoover bags.

Yes, yes - but when is Season Six coming out, dammit!?

And that's before we even get to the idea of the "hero" being a mega-mass-murdering fascist. 

Even though I do want to see this project come to fruition, part of me is relieved that Dredd isn't as popular as, say, Captain America with the wider public.

Is there something wrong with us for being Dredd fans...?

I guess there are things like petitioning arts funding organisations for help financing the project or starting some sort of "We Want Dredd" campaign but I'm not sure there would be enough interest.

Patience, optimism and encouragement seem to be the main things we can offer at the moment.

Would you like to protect your home but worry about the number of guns in your society? Well, fear not - the solution is at hand... Behold - The Thermonator!

Cass and Ra and Herr Sun - the Egyptian god of the sun and Mrs. Anderson's little girl go on a road trip to find the Nazi who caught the magical fish that ate Osiris's willy in order to restore Mjolnir to Olympus before Quetzalcoatl marries Stalin to usher in the New Age of Weeping Sores and Assorted Miseries which will pave the way for the LHC in Cern to release Cthulhu into Narnia.

[The Screw-Bix Catalogue]

The Screw-Bix Catalogue - Before his mysterious evaporation, Bix Barton's mortal enemy Fix Farton released a dossier of 150 secrets with the potential to destroy our intrepid hero! Now that dossier is for sale on Eeriebay!! It's just not cricket, by Jove!!!

Why is all the good stuff on channels like this and never ever make it toeven netfilx/prime never mind cooncil telly 

Because Neflix/prime are trash

Well, yes, they're trash. All media is essentially trash from Hollywood to Youtube, from novels to music. A high percentage of their content is mediocre at best, with a bit of decent stuff and a pinch of great stuff to make sifting through all the shite worthwhile, if not financially efficient. That seems to be more or less how everything within the fields of human endeavour work; produce as much as possible in the hopes that a sufficient portion will prove profitable enough to offset the losses incurred by the shite. For us peasants, living in sheds and with limited means available to contribute much to this ongoing experiment, other methods of accessing culture are necessary.  *cough*P1R4T3B4Y*cough*

Didn't something similar happen to the Ezquerra family? How did they deal with it? Can lessons be learned?

Newly Dredds - Flymo and Weetabix Beckham's honeymoon takes an unexpected turn...

And by Brian Blessed (that very emperor, Augustus) - his death scene is magnificent.

[Spartacus]

I think Bernard Hill played an officer in the Praetorian Guard, the one who finds Claudius hiding behind the curtain if memory serves. Centurion Yosser - "Gizzan emperor, go on, gizz 'im."

I'm on to Spartacus (again) now. Next time I'm in a Roman mood I'm gonna do Spartacus first, then Rome, then I, Claudius because they all happen within a few decades of each other. Maybe I'll even top off that future binge with Gladiator, because why not?

Thank you, John.
