The first two episodes of the final series of Public Eye. in #1 Marker gets involved in trying to track down a missing witness and gets duffed up for his trouble. In #2 he tries to help a single mum but finds himself ill at ease with his own circumstances. Incredible acting from Alfred Burke and some cracking writing continue to keep this a cut above most other dramas. Excellent viewing and highly recommended.

The Good German
Soderbergh's homage to the post-war b&w noirs. Whilst he manages to capture the era on screen authentically. the story-framing never allows the characters to develop and as a result I never really engaged with the film.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age

Cate Blanchett was terrific but on the whole the film wasn't. Too much mucking around with history for my liking. It looks splendid though.

The Captive Heart.

A great war film, very under rated I feel!
.....You couldn't hear it, if they were shooting at me with howitzers!

Excellent episode that one .... Frank Wolff was a very interesting actor.

Awesome film and shamefully neglected in favour of all the 1950s prisoner of war dramas that gave the impression everyone was digging tunnels 24/7 rather than just surviving from day to day.

After a long day of DVD indexing/working I flopped out last thing last night in front of the very first episode of the old Thames TV sitcom AND MOTHER MAKES THREE...

Now this is one of the things I distinctly remember as being whole family viewing at the time of transmission and as soon as that familiar music started the years rolled back; I was a nipper again, sprawled in front of the chunky old B&W set, being told off for getting too close to the screen! A whole host of memories came back all at once.

Back in 2008 I enjoyed the episode - predominantly for that fuzzy nostalgia feeling - but couldn't believe how 'slight' it was, particularly for a series opening. Whilst I still regard it with much affection, I am surprised that this was (even then) peak-time viewing. Perhaps it will pick up if I watch a few more...

One of the children grew up to win an Oscar which is good going for someone who started out in ITV sitcoms

Watched "Hennessey" with Rod Steiger, Richard Johnson etc.

Enjoyable but not brillant, being a fan of Richard Johnson ( who also wrote the story ) was disappointed with his role/performance.

Still a good way to spend some time on a wet Bank Holiday !

It was David Parfitt (the little dark one), he was one of the producers of Shakespeare In Love. He also won awards for producing The Madness of King George.

He wasn't a bad actor - he did minor parts with Kenneth Branagh's Renaissance but I guess producing Gwyneth Paltrow films is more profitable than spear carrying.

He must have got on OK with Ken 'cos he is now one of Ken's regular production partners.
