11th June, 2025: E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
Right … it’s now Wednesday!
And the fact Wednesdays used to be called Hump Day on Twitter?
Is possibly irrelevant … !
The fact today’s themed question set is about the film, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, probably is.
I can still remember seeing for the first time: on an extremely dodgy VHS that fell off the back of a van.
I may just have to rewatch it, at some point.
The quality of that copy definitely left me wondering what all the fuss was about …

The US president’s actions in sending in the Marines to LA, and authorising the use of rubber bullets leaving me with an earworm … I’m also aware there’s trouble at the proverbial mill.
Or, at least, trouble in Northern Ireland.
There’s riots happening in Ballymena: baton rounds are being fired at rioters using fireworks, cobbles and petrol bombs*.
After what we’re told is an alleged sexual assault.
Growing up in the 1970s and ’80s?
This sort of thing always reminds me of the Troubles.

Did you ever see a show called The Prisoner: an 1960s series about a spy who resigns his high security job, only to find himself trapped in a mysterious village from which there’s no escape … ?
To this day, it’s still worth watching, I think.
It turns out Inverlair Lodge, one of the places that inspired the series, is now up for sale.
Has anyone got £1, 300, 000 … ?
