Wallace and Gromit

So, which James Cameron film is Nick Park going to spoof next? (But I did nearly snort red wine as I realised where things were going with the cliamactic scene. And was that an appearance of Checkov's Crocodile?)

Dr Who: better than I'd expected, despite some very silly bits. Sorry, but I'm a sucker for giant steampunk mecha...

Also Chekhov's powerloader forklift.

I think that I also spotted a reference to Psycho in there.

And the original Batman movie based on the TV series.

You might want to put those last three words in a cut, or a thousand demented Who fans will EXTERMINATE you for spoiling the surprise.

There've been Doctor Who episodes without silly bits?

That must have been during the bit I slept through. Which was, I think, everything but the first five minutes and the last five minutes. Urk!

There must have been a hell of a lot of plot points in the first 7 minutes of Wallace and Gromit, because we missed them and had to work surprisingly hard to catch up. Great stuff, though.
