I’ve been watching Clarkson’s documentaries. His docs on the Victoria Cross, The Greatest Raid of All and his one about Greatest Britons - his selection being Isambard Kingdom Brunel. I’ve enjoyed Clarkson since I was a kid (RIP TG/TGT) but I feel it’s a shame that he never really got the chance to explore this more serious, interested side of him as well.
Ello mate. Long time no see.
Heya, yeah I apparently do this now. Disappear for a while then get the idea to take a look again. xD
I recently went through Derry Girls. I enjoyed most of it, especially Orla who is great and coincidentally kicks off my favourite part of the entire show - the juxtaposition of youthful innocence with adult grief is superbly done here:
And the last ever scene is my 2nd favourite part. Both scenes heavily feature the glorious “keening” of the late, great Dolores O’Riordan.
Honestly that’s such a good show. Just that right pitch of weird.
Seeing your man who plays James there actually reminds me another show he was in recently finished. Big Boys. Its definitely worth a watch. Bit like Derry Girls it does get emotional in parts.
Adolescence was just “good”. Dont think it was really much better than a lot of other British dramas. It’s well acted and captivating enough, but not entirely sure why it’s become such a phenomenon. I actually had some degree of sympathy (not quite the right word, but too early for my brain to articulate it better) for Kemi Badenoch having to explain to two BBC hosts that she didn’t need to watch a Netflix programme to understand the real world issues lol.
I think it’s one of the ones whilst it “highlights” a serious issue, it’s one in terms of TV where people just bandwagon it as being that good to be part of the crowd.
Love Stephen Graham and thought it was okay but couldn’t understand why everyone was waxing so lyrical about it, he’s done much better stuff than that.
Getting round to finally watching Better Call Saul all the way through. Currently near the end of season 4.
Great shout this. Just finished episode 8, With the drowning victim fucking hell what an episode.
