Over the past couple of days, I've seen When the Wind Blows, Watership Down, The Plague Dogs and The King of Pigs, which has been a hoot… or maybe not! I now know why they are all considered amongst the most downbeat animated films ever made. I had only seen Watership Down before – over 20 years ago – and, like then, cried at the end. Both When the Wind Blows and The Plague Dogs left me an emotional wreck.

When the Wind Blows is something else! It really stuck with me for a while after it. So crazy to think that that's what the government told people to do, and some believed in it. I've visited The Secret Bunker in Anstruther, which is an ex nuclear bunker now a tourist attraction, and it has built up models of the safe haven bunkers people were told to build in their homes. Crazy stuff! |

Parallels (2014) On Netflix. A sort of updated 'Sliders'. Never heard of it before but as it passed the hour mark I began to realise it was a pilot for a series, (weather successful or not I don't know). Being a pilot it left a lot of things hanging in the air waiting for a possible greenlight. It had potential, (sort of), but I could see that if it was commissioned it wouldn't last beyond a 13 episode run.
