What TV Have You Seen?

I've started the first series of Jeeves and Wooster again.

Originally shown in 1990, it's a timeless light hearted comedy starring Hugh Laurie as the refined but gormless Bertie Wooster and Stephen Fry as his extremely intelligent valet, Jeeves.

Three episodes in and it's all quite charming, effortlessly amusing and at times laugh out loud funny. Fry and Laurie were born to play these roles.

Finished season 1 of star trek TNG, skipped a few episodes as its one of the weakest seasons of all the shows. With the 50th anniversary of the broadcast of the first episode on the 8th September will be watching plenty more trek in the next few weeks.

Watched the first series of Cutting It. Six hours over two evenings.

Total car crash tv. Sex, scandal, back stabbing, OTT characters, and hair styling. Most of the cast are great, Sarah Parish as lovely as ever, Amanda Holden one of the worst actresses i've seen on tv. Complete trash but oh so addictive.

Lordy! Should i even be mentioning this?

Look, i used to walk past them filming this on High St in Manchester's Northern Quarter every Saturday morning...

I'm leaving now.

Watched the first episode of Wolf Creek last night. Much like how the second film went in its own odd direction, this seems to be doing so too. The first episode indicates that it will be a slow-burning investigative drama in which a grieving survivor tries to track down her family's killer.

Beautifully shot and well acted, Wolf Creek has the potential to be a great series.

The Jensen Code (1973)

13 episodes of sci-fi tinged weirdness in which a 16 year old lad at an outward bound centre stumbles onto a plot for space age espionage as crooks with hypnotic powers attempt to steal British codes for NASA space shuttles from a secret defence installation nearby.

Starring Dai Bradley from Kes and Brian Croucher, Milton Johns and Daphne Heard among a big cast, this Philip Hinchcliffe production takes what seems like an eternity to get going but when it does produces some real tension such as a scene where Dai is rescued from a cave. It was so authentic in it's look and feel it seemed as if the actors were making the dangerous rescue themselves thanks to scenes without cuts.

The series due to it having 13 episodes has time to breathe even if i feel a couple of episodes could have been trimmed, but what makes it exceptional is it's location photography and cave system settings which are extremely claustrophobic.

I don't think The Jensen Code is required viewing, unlike say, Children of the Stones, but for those with an interest in archive television this is quite a demanding watch especially seeing as it's classed as children's television. Not in this day and age it ain't that's for sure.

If he spoke to me the same way he did to that the spectacled chap with the twitchy foot, I'd probably call him a c**t as well. What a horrible, manipulative, exploitative individual.
