What TV Have You Seen?

A young man moves too the city and rents the only apartment he can afford it's not long before he figures out that the residents are all bonkers and dangerous with one of them taking a partially interested in him, it's not long before they start effecting the young man's sanity. Well worth a watch.




This is basically life on mars in reverse! Hear a cop ends it 30 years in the future after hunting down a psychotic killer, arriving in the future he ends up becoming a police man and learns that the killer he chased all those years ago is still alive and killing. It is life in mars in reverse with the out of time cop using old school police tactics compared too his partners modern approach.




This was by far my favourite and one I would happily watch again.

A young man seeks revenge on a powerful CO of a larger business and his spoiled son who gets him expelled from school after he stops him bulling a classmate , the spoiled son later kills the young man's farther which is covered and the young man ends up in prison, once he is out he sets his plan for revenge in motion.

It's not as grim as it's sound and it's well acted with some fantastic characters that you really care for. Well worth a watch.

UK's Biggest Hits 1997

Another fascinating countdown with the stories behind the songs. Sash with 3 number 2 hits must have wondered what they had to do to get 2 Number 1.

With all the great songs out that year the fact that 2 of top 5 of the year was Barbie Girl and The Teletubbies theme is kind of an anomaly however I would loved to have been a fly on the wall when Blur's Alex James played Barbie Girl to the rest of the band.

Foyle's War

Finished the third episode of this classic mystery drama set during WWII.

Set in Sussex, Hastings in particular, it's not too dissimilar to Poirot, maybe it's because of the frequent use of Sussex, perhaps the influence of creator Anthony Horowitz who also worked on the series with the dodgy tached Belgian detective, and also because it's set two or three years after the Suchet series.

Michael Kitchen is excellent as Christopher Foyle, a very dry and efficient Detective Chief Superintendent pretty much ordered to deal with local matters as the country prepares for whatever the Germans might throw at us. Whilst the first episode dealt with anxiety and ill feeling towards Germans living on the south coast at the time, the second could loosely be classed as Foyle's Dunkirk as it entwined the mammoth boat and ship evacuation with a nicely thought out murder mystery.

Tonight's episode concerned the murder of a child and brought into play the child evacuees from London, the advent of the Italians joining the war as well as the fallout from the death of a conscientious objector in a police cell.

This episode had a very good cast in John Shrapnel, Sophia Myles, David Tennant and a nicely subdued Danny Dyer who falls for Foyle's driver Sam. Special mention to Sam (Honeysuckle Weeks) she's excellent, a tremendous foil for er' Foyle.

It's interesting that Horowitz takes the stories down if not unconventional avenues then ones that war time stories don't normally venture. For instance Foyle investigating a suspect who supposedly works at a hush hush munitions factory, until Foyle uncovers it to be an even more hush hush, extremely confidential coffin factory because the War Office are preparing for the worst...

It's these unconventionalities that keep it interesting and perhaps edgier than Poirot which i likened it to earlier, in that respect it deals with the grittier aspects similar to that other classic series Inspector George Gently , although that was set twenty years later in sixties Northumberland.

Anyone who likes any of the series i've mentioned here will almost certainly enjoy the others as well.

I'm gonna do this boxset disc by disc, never really saw these at once, BBC2 showed them in the early 90s then stopped I don't think they showed all the episodes and if they did I must have missed them. Watching this made me wonder why my family can't be like them . Why is it when you hear the theme tune to have to snap your fingers...

This one sounds good, is it on Netflix? I know they have SOOOO many Korean TV shows on Netflix now.

Finished that 1971 thing then. Decent enough (the book it's based on is "monthly", chapterwise) and I like to see early Kraftwerk footage regardless of reason ahem. Recommended.
