Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

is definitely worth a look, if just for the trained squirrels. It took a year to teach them to crack nuts on a conveyor belt, apparently, but it was time well spent. Johnny Depp was a convincingly disturbed Willy Wonka but the star of the show was the guy who played all the Oompa Loompas (male and female). And the Oompa Loompa musical numbers were excellent.

In other news, we have a TV. Wom has restarted his Sopranos campaign. At first I thought he was miming playing tennis but it turned out to be chucking a body off a bridge. It's hard to tell sometimes - his arms are quite short!
