Anglo Saxon Attitudes (TV Series)Anglo Saxon Attitudes (TV Series) (1992)
3 stars (Good Enough) The satire is thin on the ground until the final episode.

ReligulousReligulous (2008)Recommended
3 stars (Good Enough) Perhaps the old Hollywood biblical epic clips are overused here, but Bill still makes a good plug for humorous scepticism. And his mum talks sense too.

Ripping Yarns (TV Series)Ripping Yarns (TV Series) (1977-1979)
3 stars (Good Enough) Amiable Pythonesque silliness. Slightly odd–story–out is the touching 'Golden Gordon' (with, it looks like, a brief walk–on by John Cleese).

3 stars (Good Enough) Full operatic production using Gershwin's original score.
Lord JimLord Jim (1965)
