Anyway, the Worst Film Ever Made... I think that can wait till another time, I got sidetracked.

I have been giving some thought to the worst film ever made. I was thinking about it during the vast stretches of the Olympic Opening Ceremony when my attention was wandering, without a clue what was going on. My confusion was exacerbated by Hazel Irvine, whose shrill, incessant McWhining managed to lodge a permanent feeling of unease in my gut which hasn't really gone away. She was so unpleasant to listen to that I think i switched off most of my senses to try and compensate. Not soon enough enough alas, as Trevor Nelson's catastrophic stupidity, unable to say even a single thing of worth or relevance registered to me on a subliminal level, and turned the unease into nausea. Trevor was evidently perfectly aware that he was there merely to make up the numbers and acted accordingly, to his eternal shame. And then of course, the Welsh lunacy of Huw Edwards, a man previously thought to be intelligent simply because he can read an autocue whilst frowning. I know many intelligent Welsh people who would not have made a mockery of the BBC commentary team on Friday night as he did. A 27 million pound budget and a cast of thousands reduced to banal soundbites uttered by simpering cretins. Come back, Fearne, all is forgiven! OK, maybe not.

Nev Pitty-RoseI am not into football, cricket or anything involving boats. I avoid rap music. I never eat food that contains okra and I never see films that have a colon in the title. I am not a fan of biographical films that make the subject more sympathetic than they actually were. I have an extreme allergy to cats and thus wish ill on every single one. I do not discuss Game of Thrones unless the person I am talking to has read the books first. I am continually surprised that some people really don’t like Leonard Cohen. I dislike The Bullingdon Club and The Sun newspaper. I am suspicious of young people. I hate it when TV journalists report on location hours after the event has finished, and the continual misuse of the word ‘pandemic’. People who stop at the top of busy escalators to extend a luggage handle need education, not punishment. I have a recurring nightmare where I am sharing a stage with Cheryl Cole and I am the only one singing live. Archives
