Folks,
This list was amazingly quiet after Battleship Potemkin.
Can I ask, who here was actually there, getting wet?
I was - among a bunch of people who had been evicted from the steps on the
east side of the square, and decided to dig their heels in.
My teenage daughter and her friend tried (but failed) to blag their way
into the VIP area on the basis of being friends with relatives of the
band.
Personally, I thought the PSB score for Battleship Potemkin was a
knockout. I'd never seen the film before.

PS When the rather annoying ICA bloke was introducing the film, and
wittering on at great length about previous political demonstrations in
Trafalgar Square, a group of people near me began to bristle. Finally one
of them could contain herself no longer: "They've deliberately left out
the Countryside March!"
