And yet, on the radio, doing those film reviews with Simon Mayo, he's really quite good - without ever for a minute allowing you to forget that, beneath it all, he really is just a very smug prick indeed - who looks remarkably like Mark Viduka.

He did loads of good mini-documentaries on banned/uncut films on Channel 4 too.
Ever heard his skiffle group?

Yeah, that Exorcist thing got really annoying after a while. You'd think he was the only person to have seen it. I think I might've caught some of his skiffle things on Newsnight Review or something. Wasn't he in some semi-successful band once? But you're right, his documentaries are usually fairly interesting even though he tends to be the worse thing about them.
