Maybe it is the lousy hangover I have this morning, but I just watched something that had me in tears laughing, so I thought I would mention it here so maybe someone else can catch it. I recorded it on BBC3 early one morning, but it is bound to be on again.
If you are male, grew up in the UK, a 30 something AND a bit nerdy, then make the effort to catch this.

Brilliant television. (Or possibly not, but with all the parallels with my own life, it is hard not to get sentimental about it)
And for the record, my boy loves all star wars films equally, so it really is just us cynical generation jedis that dislike the new movies.

It is really funny, just two days ago i was involved in a deep conversation about the 'philosophy' of Star Wars. We did indeed come to the conclusion that, if we were indeed jedi material, we would all be on the darkside. None of us are selfless (not like a jedi anyway), we are driven by emotion and our attachment to our material and theoretical 'things' would surely be enouph to turn us to the darkside! Wish i had a TV, this looks quite good 😀
