An obvious point

There are a lot of people who are active in politics and political journalism who did not grow up watching House of Cards (and its sequels) and the New Statesman, or even Yes Minister, and therefore How Things Actually Work is a closed book to them.

This post brought to you by the blindingly incompetent "analysis" of current political events by almost everyone, and mine and matgb's ongoing fascination and amazement with it

Surly gets the Fellowship

Worth watching for the clip montage alone, here is Christopher Lee getting his BAFTA fellowship, long overdue in my view.



Watching it reminds me of watching Peter Cushing on Jim'll Fix It not long before he died. He's so thin and frail. I haven't got the words at the moment to describe how sad that makes me feel. For the last twenty years Christopher Lee's barely aged, and then suddenly... :(

For more eloquent comment, see this post by magister. And have a drink to the sexiest voice in acting - he's still there, but watching that, I don't think he will be for much longer.
