The Little Mermaid is a great film, of course - widely recognised to be the first movie in Disney's 1990s return to form after the two decades in the doldrums ushered in the The Aristocats. (Look at the Aristocats nowadays and it looks half finished, and it's suspiciously similar to Chuck Jones' 'Gay Purree' movie from eight years earlier.) Of course, parents of budding Disney princesses who have had to watch the DVD of the film on an endless loop for the past three years may have other opinions.

If you don't know what Clearasil is you've never been a teenager. It's an acne treatment, and girls can smell it at 100 paces.

Gemma's house - in a posher part of Catford. Note the middle class signifiers, the carriage lamp outside the door, the Tudorbethan architecture of the houses in the background, the string of pearls around Gemma's mum's neck.

  1. Is there a posh part of Catford? Maybe it's the bit edging into Ladywell or Hither Green :P
