Ditto, I used to follow his recommendations closely.

Nowadays, I tend to check Rotten Tomatoes or Imdb. Can't stand that patronising Ted Bovis Mark Commode feller
and certainly can't see what qualifies him to be a film crit. And somebody please tell him it isn't 1954 and a chubby, greying
Ted looks bloody stupid now.



Every time this comes onscreen I think, 'Blog off, Brylcreem boy.'

He lives up the road - looks as fit as a butcher's dog so that is a long shot.
