ITC was a producer of quality television throughout the sixties and seventies. Featuring famous and breaking acting talent, quality screenwriters and a filmic eye for TV presentation, ITC created such iconic titles as The Saint, The Champions and Jason King. Which three titles will the regular hosts pick as their favourites? Is there any chance Kevin owns an ITC box set? And can Dave pronounce Riviera?

This is the last episode of series five. We will return in October with a bit of something to please most people. Unless a rogue AI infiltrates our system and churns out ten generic episodes on The Clangers.

Jorge Luis Borges. Argentinian poet, essayist and short story writer prolific from the 1920s onwards. Extraordinarily influential even though he wasn't widely known to north American or European readers until 1961. Also connected to the literary genre of 'Magical Realism' (M.R.). But was he a magical realist? And just what is M.R.?

Dave leads the discussion and uses "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius" as an example of how tricky pinning down both M.R.and Borges is.

We can't even say if the moon is really there if you are not looking at it, that's how bad it gets. No wonder Kevin was nonplussed.

Complicating matters (yes, really) is that we originally planned this to be one episode with two topics, Borges, and El Pampero Cine. Both recorded on the same day, we are publishing both as separate episodes. Offering you sort of listen to one, get another one .... to listen to.

And to think, I used to work in marketing.......

El Pampero Cine, the Argentine film collective, formed in Buenos Aires by Laura Citarella, Mariano Llinás, Agustín Mendilaharzu, and Alejo Moguillansky, has been honing its unique cinematic voice since 2002. Without a shadow of a doubt, the foursome have delivered a compelling body of work, including their take on The Little Match Girl, the two-part Trenque Lauquen and La Flor, which clocks in at a staggering 808 minutes. Phil, Kevin and Dave take a closer look at their brand of independent cinema, while trying their level best to get the pronunciations right. Will they succeed?
