Bit of Brassic. Bit of Mad Dogs.

Spot on and excellent series. Great performances and well observed atmosphere of the 80s. Not sure of some of the language. Would South Londoners use Kent slang like Gavvers and Yiddish like Gantser Macher? Unlikely.

I congratulate the cast in achieving their goal of creating characters that I either loathe or am irritated by. Cassie is so chaotic and needy, lurching from crisis to potentially fatal crisis, as to be exasperating in the extreme. Annie is ghastly in her brittle dismissal of everything that doesn't fit her narrative and treats Max as a sex/IT drone. The villains are, of course, British (Scottish in Miranda's case) and two dimensional. Poor Michelle Gomez, who could act the rest off the screen with a glance, isn't given any depth. Even the titles and music leave my nerves in tatters. All in all, addictive!

Slick. Hugh Grant is excellent and I loved the Long Good Friday homage

One of the defining films of the eighties. Flawless performances all round, especially from Hoskins, Mirren and Thompson. Great to see how the supporting cast have built their careers since (Pierce Brosnan, Gillian Taylforth to name but two). Captures the optimism and hubris of Thatcher's Britain, where we had it all going our way. And now....? Harold and Razors we need you!

Thoroughly enjoying Pennyworth. Excellent writing and the knowing touches like Alfie/Michael Caine are lightly done. I'll even forgive Sandra/Anne-Margaret singing As long as he needs me! Obviously the writers are true fans of the Sixties London scene. Great story and some cracking actors (yes,Somon Day, I mean you) having a whale of a time.
