Excellent!
Also - when the Lusitania was traversing the ocean / getting sunk, the animation style put me in mind of Ivor The Engine.

i started watching the master mystery today, a serial where harry houdini is a patent clerk who must foil some minor patent fraud by, er, fighting THE AUTOMATON. What is THE AUTOMATON, you ask?

Also it should be noted that THE AUTOMATON's "giant form three times the size of a man" is in fact the exact size of a man

I started watching the snooker at the gym, and there was immediately a medical emergency in the audience and play stopped, so they went back to the studio and there was Shaun Murphy congealed in a chair, peevishness and dyspepsia given almost-human form, so I watched something else instead.

yes. i like the way shaun murphy's increeasing snooker ineptitude is rewarded with constant bbc commentary appearances for some reason

Yes. All I knew about this one was that it had a great waterfall scene in it, so when it got to bit with the dam getting blown up, I thought, well that was okay but I'm not sure why it's so famous

I watched this today, because they were showing it in a tent with a live musical accompaniment to celebrate new year's day, for some reason. Also most of The Haunted House. Anyway they're the only Buster Keaton's I've seen, they were good. My 5 year old thought they were funny too.
