Could have gone in Deeper Into Movies, but:

Might be slightly old news but it's new to me, and suddenly the film seems like a decent proposition.  I mean, the concept is still terrible, but it should at least have some decent songs.  Probably not knocking his pipe out on Pope Ted either - that must all be finished.

Can't be any worse than Office Politics.

Office Politics had its moments - 'Feather in Your Cap' is a nicely-realised tune. But it's been a while since Hannon penned a proper classic. Last one maybe 'Lady of a Certain Age'? The DC live shows seem to have basically been greatest hits + a couple of new album tracks for a while now, so maybe Neil has finally become a legacy act...

I thought Office Politics was great.
Probably my favourite since Absent Friends.
