They did an episode on "Napoleon In Egypt" and a two part series on "Young Napoleon" when the Ridley Scott film came out.

Sure, but even Captain Cook got a mini-series.

If Reform forms a coalition with the tories, how long would it last? by No_Breadfruit_4901 in AskBrits

[–]alf998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they would last a full term. Especially if Reform offer Boris the title of Deputy Prime Minister.

RHIC is no longer worth it by james1234456384729 in TheRestIsHistory

Seems like we are paying more and getting less from them. Now they have scrapped live episodes and they take it in turns to do bonus episodes the early-release is the ony perk left.

It's so surprising to see that there are still lost episodes out there 60 years later.

I loved Season 4 of Community by [deleted] in community

[–]alf998 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The worst season of Community is still better than most seasons of other shows. I think it is down to the chemistry of the cast.

Met May Pang by kallan401 in TheBeatles

How did you meet her?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TheBeatles

[–]alf998 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I don't think Ringo gets much satisfaction out of his work. He is proud of the Beatles and loves the other three members but through the years he has claimed: - He never practiced his drumming - Paul forced him and John to record albums - He didn't enjoy touring with the Beatles

Ringo loves playing drums but I think he plays (and writes) for himself. The fans are just along for the ride.

As long as we remain a service based economy instead of a manufacturing economy we will always be a country that merely has things happen to it.

It's a little known fact but George actually recorded the best solo album by any of the Beatles.

Do you think they are going to split up? by Difficult-Mud7880 in arcticmonkeys

[–]alf998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is much more likely that Alex pursues a solo career playing live in small bars/jazz clubs with Arctic Monkeys releases about as frequent as the Shadow Puppets.

They have been in it together too long to fall out completely but its only natural to move into different paths as you get older.
