This was certainly a weird one. I was asked to discuss Policy Exchange’s polling which claimed that “among the British Muslims living in the polled areas, there are worrying levels of anti-Semitic conspiratorial beliefs and support for the criminalisation of blasphemy. The findings show that the UK is far...

The pool hall scene in Carlito’s Way is one of the most suspenseful set pieces in all of crime cinema. However, when the studio executives saw an early cut, they thought it was too long and asked Brian De Palma to cut it back - but instead, he made it even longer. The writer of the film, David Koepp explains…. “We showed an early cut to the studio, and one of their notes was that the pool hall scene seemed too long. I was talking to Brian about it, and I said, “what do you think about this note that the pool hall scene is too long? I don't think they're right about that.” And he said, “No, no, no, they're absolutely right, they're absolutely right. But what they mean is that it's not long enough” And I thought he was just being cheeky and defiant. But actually, no - I mean, he knows suspense so well, he felt that it was just that he had failed to set up a little bit of the geography of the suspense - which is of course, his mastery. You know - the guys in the bathroom, the door is slightly open, the other guys over here - all that great establishment of where everybody is, and how close they are to each other, and what all the stakes are. The suspense only works later if that stuff's set up properly before. And so when he went back and furthered some of that coverage and expanded the front of the scene a little bit, the scene was nail biting and great. And they saw another cut and said, “much better shorter, much better shorter.”

Jackie Gleason, the legendary American comedian and star of "The Honeymooners", on the time he got CBS to send him a private train to Miami: In the 1960s, Gleason decided he didn't want to shoot his show in New York anymore. He wanted to do it in Miami, and he wanted to get there in style. "When we're doing the Honeymooners, I had a big contract for that for two years. And after the first year, I said I didn't want to do it. And they didn't believe me. They thought I had a job somewhere else. And finally, they realized that I just didn't want to do it." When the network came back asking him to do another show, Gleason was in California making a picture. He said yes, but with one condition: "I said, 'All right.' I said, 'But I want a train that goes to Florida.' Because I had come down here and played golf and liked it and I figured might as well go to Florida and do the show. Play golf all the time and they went for it." They went for it. What followed was a rolling party across the country. Gleason describes what was on the train: "Everything. We had two Dixieland bands come from California and they would spell each other. I'd say to them, 'Take five miles,' and the parties went on 24 hours." Asked if there were girls on the train, he laughs: "Boy, there were girls. There certainly were. And they were very, very nice girls. Nothing on it happened. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it didn't. Might have been because the berths were too small, but regardless of that, nothing happened on that trip." Asked if there was a bar on the train, his answer is perfect: "A bar. The train was a bar. I guess that's a classic example of what clout is." Then he delivers the line that sums up the whole story: "'Send a train, please.' That's right. When you've got good ratings and you're one, two, or three in the ratings, there is nothing your little heart desires that they don't provide."

Jackie Gleason, the legendary American comedian and star of “The Honeymooners”, on the time he got CBS to send him a private train to Miami: In the 1960s, Gleason decided he was done shooting his show in New York. He wanted Miami, and he wanted to arrive there in style. “When we’re doing the Honeymooners, I had a big contract for that for two years. And after the first year, I said I didn’t want to do it. And they didn’t believe me. They thought I had a job somewhere else. And finally, they realized that I just didn’t want to do it.” When the network came crawling back and asked him to do another show, Gleason was out in California shooting a picture. He said yes — but only under one condition: “I said, ‘All right.’ I said, ‘But I want a train that goes to Florida.’ Because I had come down here and played golf and liked it and I figured might as well go to Florida and do the show. Play golf all the time and they went for it.” They went for it. What followed was a rolling party stretching coast to coast. Gleason breaks down what was on board: “Everything. We had two Dixieland bands come from California and they would spell each other. I’d say to them, ‘Take five miles,’ and the parties went on 24 hours.” Asked if there were girls on the train, he laughs: “Boy, there were girls. There certainly were. And they were very, very nice girls. Nothing on it happened. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it didn’t. Might have been because the berths were too small, but regardless of that, nothing happened on that trip.” Asked if there was a bar on the train, his answer is perfect: “A bar. The train was a bar. I guess that’s a classic example of what clout is.” Then he drops the line that captures the whole story in a single breath: “‘Send a train, please.’ That’s right. When you’ve got good ratings and you’re one, two, or three in the ratings, there is nothing your little heart desires that they don’t provide.”
