In the 80s we were shown Roman Polanski's version. Somehow for various reasons I doubt they show that now.

Just don't go dressed as Ian Levine. It might not go well.

Mothering Sunday on March 15th. It's hard if she's not around. I'll be reading out the names of our remembered #Mums26 from the top of the Ashton Memorial in Lancaster. You can see across the sea to the Lake District. If you'd like your Mum/Mam/Mom's name added to the list, reply with hashtag! ❀️ πŸ‘‘

No worries. I guess you just reversed the polarity of the neutron flow and then voila.
