A clip from Chris Morris’s Four Lions
Chris Morris has been a bit quiet of late, but that’s because he’s been busy making a movie, a comedy called Four Lions about suicide bombers. It’s currently showing at the Sundance Film Festival [spoilers], but here’s a clip. What do you think? Both Morrisy and Pythonesque don’t you think?

Sitting Tennant
Friday’s Sitting Tennant (week 3, 2010)
Everyone give a great big welcome to Erin C, our latest Sitting Tennant picture provider who’s stormed into action with this great picture of David Tennant on the way to his Saturday job, whatever that is. Thank her kindly, for she clearly has what it takes!
- Toby, Sister Chastity: 25
- Sabine, Rullsenberg: 15
- Erin C: 10
Over in caption land, plans to introduce Sits On Smith have been aborted since everyone’s regained their Klingon fighting spirit and pulled some great captions out of their hats (or wherever they keep their ideas machines). I’m awarding top caption points to both Sabine and Jane Henry, since they made me laugh equally. Well done, everyone! David still loves you.
- Jane Henry: 20
- Rullsenberg, Sabine: 10
- Toby, Electric Dragon, Sister Chastity: 5

Third-episode verdict: Archer
In the US: Thursdays, 10pm, FX.
In the UK: Fiver. Starts Thursday February 25th
Well, the first episode was brilliant and the rest of it? Well it’s just brilliant, too. You’re virtually guaranteed two laugh out loud moments per minute with this thing. I nearly snorted cereal out my nose this morning, I was laughing so hard. That’s an image you might not want to have and Archer is great for those.
Carusometer rating: 0
Rob’s prediction: Should run and run. It’s superb.
