We finished Backstrom S3, watched the 3 measly episodes of Vera - thought it would be good to have Joe back but he wasn't much of an improvement; now on latest season of Candice Renoir - not her biggest fan but her diverse supporting cast makes it well worth watching.

Just watched the 1975 classic Jaws. I'm finding that I prefer the older movies now (70's, 80's and 90's), less trying to fulfill some imagined 'political correctness' and more about telling a good story, with good characters. Take Jaws for example, essentially three guys take on a giant fish, they tell 'sexist' jokes, drink beer, argue and blow the s***e out of a great white, can't see that being made today, not without extensive re-writing. Going to watch Close Encounters of the Third Kind tomorrow.

Whilst being imprisoned fighting off a persistent cold/flu bug I watched the Wallace & Gromit short films - The Wrong Trousers is IMHO one of the best short films ever made - a full detective story encapsulated into 30 minutes of non-stop fun. Brilliant!
Now binging on Slow Horses - loved the books. |
