Watched the pilot episode of Starkey and Hutch brilliant stuff, might be me but I found it all a bit homoerotic.

I actually think the TV show is better, probably because there's more dramatic license, as a result the show is more expansive.

I do really like the film though (and the book).

Suburra starts on Netflix next month, another Italian drama based on a film. It's also about organised crime but it sounds like the protagonists are higher up in the food chain. The film is already on Netflix.

Thanks for the tip – I'll add them both to my list.

Just browsing on youtube, and come across (wasnt aware of this so googled it)
Good old USA who crap at making awful cult British comedy shows, actualy made 3 different attempts (each one different, sets cast etc) at Fawlty Towers, had a few min watch at each version, not saying there bad but lets just say i rather sit and watch a days marathon of this years worst movies than this utter not even slightly pure embarrassing piece of garbage.

As a wise man once said, the only thing worse than an American version of a British show is a British version of an American one.

Francis Durbridge Presents. Got this out of the library and rather enjoying it. 60s BBC mystery thriller series. With the production style, 25 minute installments of multi-part stories and cliffhangers, it's all very 60s Who.
