HOT: BFI Mediatheque, Southbank

An undiscovered gem, perfect for a rainy day. You get your own booth, headphones, an enormous monitor and 2 hours to sift through the BFI's British film archives. I watched a tacky short musical based on Le Parapluie de Cherbourg "Les Bicyclettes de Belsize Park" involving a camp yellow-shirted man with too much eyeliner, an episode of The Office and two unintentionally funny 40s government educational films about how to make tea and the best way to boil cabbage.
