This week, we're going back to World War 1 and over to the desert to watch the epicest epic of them all, David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia. Has sand ever looked better? Has casting ever been more problematic? And has my telly broken, or is the screen supposed to be black during the overture?

With guest Jack Blackburn of The Times, who loves this film so much that his infant son has already watched it at least once.

Next week: The Wild Geese.
