Harrison Ford was in tears during his super emotional Lifetime Achievement Award speech. This was so good "Sometimes we make entertainment. Sometimes we make art. Sometimes, if we're lucky, we make 'em both at the same time. And if we're really fortunate, we also get to make a

it has also been 61 years since the reverend mother called maria a cunt face. a moment i’ll never get over😭😭

This moment from Sherlock Jr. (1924) is still mind-blowing. Over a century later, it hasn’t lost an ounce of its magic.

Birthday Boy 🎂Alan Sillitoe. His screenplays based on his debut novel Saturday Night and Sunday Morning and short story The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner gave us two of my absolute fave films. Not bad for a lad who left school at 14, eh? What an absolute genius

"South West Water admits criminal offence over Devon parasite outbreak." Meanwhile South West Water, no relation to the equally hopeless South East Water, have admitted to poisoning the town of Brixham and making 150 people sick. I'll ask the question again, what the hell is it

On this day in 2015: A classic Sally moment #Corrie: Sally "You know I saw Lenny Henry live once ... he thought I was heckling him but I wasn't... the girl next to me had spilt her cherry brandy down my jumpsuit." Superb. ❤️📺 Coronation Street
