I'd love to see 'Meeting Venus' again, a 1990s film with a rather satiric story about Grand Opera. It starred Glenn Close and the French (yes) actor Niels Arestrup, but it's never shown on TV. The music is beautiful and the operatically trained Close was going to sing in the role herself, but (like poor Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady) another singer was dubbed at the last minute.

I have recently rewatched This Is Us, Peaky Blinders, Lark Rise To Candleford, Sense And Sensibility - the 2008 version and Sanditon. I have watched The Wizard Of Oz many times with my older granddaughter.

Films: just about any Ealing comedy but the absolute favourite is definitely "Kind Hearts and Coronets" with Dennis Price and starring Alec Guiness playing several roles.

Vanity Fair, Forsyte Saga and Calamity Jane.

Do you ever wish you could erase a particular show from your mind, so you could have the joy of watching it afresh again?

Don't worry, lots of us are going to have that joy eventually.

I should make a list of favourite films I want to watch " for the first time" in the old folks home.

Game, Set and Match (Len Deighton). A very poor DVD as LD wouldn’t let it be shown as he didn’t like it. Maybe now he has died a new series may be made.
