typically film and tv 'product' arrives in oz long after it has screened in the northern hemisphere. no one seems to know why. but owing to a rupture in space-time continuum, or a disturbance in the force, or some such, the latest wallace & gromit featurette "a matter of loaf and death" has premiered here in advance of its english broadcast. and it's swell. the sets are superb. it also features a terrific villainess, piella bakewell, who is built on the sturdy lines of 1950s english womanhood. the hairstyle looks to have been lifted from the prim proprietor of the railway teashop in "brief encounter". and just look at that tremendous pair of cankles! grand, eh lad?

The cankles alone are enough to strike terror into my heart. Yeeps.
I adore both brief encounter and wallace and gromit but why the heck have you seen it before me. Something isn't right in the world.

r. there's something impressive, in a no-nonsense way, about those cankles. i always imagined mrs thatcher had a formidable set of cankles. seemed to suit her, don't you think?
gx. don't begrudge us. usually the world forgets we're here. morrissey has only toured melbourne once. once!
i wonder, if you were in celia johnson's place would you come back to the tedious husband with his times' crossword, or would you whizz off with trevor howard?
amusingly, when david lean tested the film in front of an east end audience it didn't go over well. audience was restless. one feller stood up and yelled out "so when are they going to have it off, then?"
