Will be watching tonight (nothing else on except silly dancing and silly auditions).

Time to get stockpiling movies since it will be the silly dancing and talent shows all the way up to Christmas... not to mention the mindless spin off shows.

Another bugbear for me is "Casualty" which drones on forever and a day permanently hinged to that timespot (following whatever drivel featuring the Lottery draws) for what feels like forever. Can't the BBC move it to a different night and try something else? Is it any wonder Noel Edmonds has boycotted paying the TV Licence? OK, he objects to the bullying scare tactics used against non-payers, but when each and every Autumn and Winter you get the same old crappy mindless shows on Saturday night, it makes me - and I guess, many others - resentful of paying the licence fee.

Saturday night TV should be far better than this... think back to the 70s and 80s when you had loads of great shows to watch... but now it is lame, limp and predictable, not to mention downright lazy.

Now... what DVD shall I watch tonight?

I'll be interested to hear your views on it.

I didn't like it at first and I was a bit wary of Heath Ledger's accent etc but the film grows on you ..by the end I thought it amazing and the 2 stars were perfect.

Spot on Veritas - I started off wondering what the fuss was all about and really not liking it; but half way through I started really liking it and by the end had tears in my eyes and thought Ledger deserved an Oscar.

Yes I find that film upsetting too, but brilliant.

By the way, interesting that all my wrongful convictions are from the same period in time (and equally fictional) as Brokeback Mountain.

It was a very different time then and a very different morality.

How dangerous - and wrong - is it to judge someone with the laws of today for the behaviour of yesterday?

The other day, I put on a fur lined denim jacket with a pair of jeans on, happened to be wearing a pair of boots, and stuck a large hat on as it was drizzling.

"Errrm?", I was told " I really don`t think you should go out like that..!"

Unwittingly, I had no idea that it was the Brokeback Mountain costume...I just threw something on really.....

I think this is an important aspect about your case JK that has never been properly examined. The difference between behaviour from 30 years ago which may well have been illegal but was then considered acceptable (same sex relationships) and today's morality where it is not only legal but accepted but other aspects have become much more black and white and scrutinised.
