Antony Gormley’s Angel Of The North, and Walt Disney’s Condorman.
Despite the obvious similarities, only one of them is considered to be a work of art.
Can you guess which, and why? Answer using your own words as far as possible. (25 marks)

I’m almost ashamed to tell you this, but… well, I picked up a virus over the weekend.
No, it’s not that kind of story – and my wife knows all about it – but it was kind of embarrassing. I downloaded a trial copy of WinRAR from a normally reputable source, but it turned out that it was a ‘cracked copy’ into which someone had inserted some nefarious code.
As a result I got a silly message popping up on my laptop every few minutes, and every time I tried to log on to the interweb I got redirected to some spurious-looking site which offered to sell me a security fix (for the problem it had caused). Tch.
Anyway, I resolved it – if you also suffer the ‘intervalhehe’ virus, you can sort it out by following Andy Greenwood’s instructions here – but I was concerned for a bit that all the scripts on my computer were in danger, a prospect I was far from keen on.
So kids, learn from my mistake – if you’re downloading files from the internet, make sure it’s from a source you know you can trust!
Just, y’know, a thought.
In 1977, you say you’re NOT; in 1995, you say you ARE.
Are you just going to change your mind again in 2013, Leonard?
Here then, the covers of the latest copies of two similarly-themed magazines: the Fortean Times (issue 243, running since the 1970s), and Paranormal magazine (issue 32, founded… er, I dunno, but I’m guessing it’s more recently).
Would I be out of line to suggest the similarity of design might not be an accident?
(Full disclosure: I’ve written for the FT before, but still…)
Just a quick note to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving – if you’re reading this, after all, you have access to the internet, in what I presume is a safe location, and you probably know where your next meal’s coming from, so indeed you (and, being in the same position as I type this, I) have much to be thankful for.
Have some roast potatoes for me!
My mother-in-law and my neice have both asked for a CD called ‘The Promise’ for Christmas.
I shall have to be very careful with the gift tags, or great disappointment may ensue…
Is it just me, or does the poster for this 1963 film look like a Terry Gilliam animation for Monty Python’s Flying Circus?
