The Absent-Minded Professor


Listen Later

This week, Thomas and Colin watch the 1961 American science fiction comedy film, The Absent-Minded Professor.
Thomas ascends the lofty heights of Rosny Hill Lookout - then fails to notice a 122.5 metre (402 ft) long Chinese icebreaker tied up across the river. Colin revisits My Girl.
