The other two parts are posted in my other blogs.

As always, in no particular order:

Film and TV:

Monty Python!



Sideways

Jon Stewart.



Monk, which is approaching its eighth and final season.


Tron 2! That it's coming.


Gone Baby Gone

Muppets

Richard Williams' The Thief Who Never Gave Up.
