"Super influential record for the new wave of British heavy metal. Super influential record for Megadeth and Metallica. That was one of those records that everyone should listen to but not a lot of people know about. I think the beauty of it is the simplicity of the British riffing and the general approach to the music. I'm sad to have seen the band fall apart from its classic line-up although I don't know that they were necessarily prepared for greatness, if I can put it that way without being offensive. They were heralded to be the next Led Zeppelin and I get it. But I think internal problems started around when Canterbury came out in 1983."

Football. (or, as our American cousins call it, soccer).

Two quintessentially British things.

This is the first non-Wallace and Gromit Aardman claymation film since 'Chicken Run' (from the year 2000, I think), introducing a whole host of new characters and setting: prehistory, with a Stone Age tribe merrily doing their own thing hunting that most dangerous and elusive of all creatures (rabbits) in their valley, until they are forced out of the valley by their most sophisticated bronze age neighbours.

To get their own land back, they challenge said neighbours to a game of footie, despite not knowing how to play the game ...

Like I said at the top, quintessentially British.

Quite gory
Good locations
Just when you thought it was safe to get the night tube!
A very good British horror. A late night journey on the Underground goes from bad to worse for one commuter as they are chased through the tunnels in a fight for survival.

I wrote this.
Elephant Shoe is a story of loss and hope; acceptance and forgiveness; family, friendship and first love.

It's a British LGBT YA with mild sexual content, moderate bad language, and some difficult themes.

(Please and thank you).
That'd be bloody marvelous!
