Christmas TV Special – Hannah Waddingham: Home For Christmas
Oh dearโฆI suppose when you have a TV series that does as well as Ted Lasso did then you are bound to want to try and spread it a bit further while you can. Iโm not a football fan but I quite enjoyed the goings on at AFC Richmondโฆwell, the first couple of seasons, anyway.…

Documentary Review – The Pigeon Tunnel
There is a more than somewhat axiomatic sayingย dished out to aspiring writersโฆโWrite what you know.โ This can be good advice. If you wish to write a series about that misadventures of a group of teachers then it is a definite bonus to have spent some time working as a teacher. If you are writing…

Documentary Review – Still: A Michael J Fox Movie
โ
Iโll be honest, prior to Back To The Future, I hadnโt heard of him. I guess that I was on the wrong side of the Atlantic to catch any of the numerous TV appearances that he had made from 1978 onwards. Furthermore, Iโll be even more brutally honest and say that, apart from the other…

Movie Review – Ghosted
Apple TV+โs latest offering is, apparently, something of a record breaker.ย The first two days saw 328,500 people watching Ghosted. Obviously thatโs chicken feed compared to something like Avengers: Endgame but in the world of non-theatrical releases it is, apparently, quite a big deal. Thatโs way more than the first two days of other highly…

Movie Review – Tetris
I have to admit that when I heard that there was a film based on the Tetris game in the pipeline my heart sank just a little.ย After all, I remember the farce that was Super Mario Bros and Street Fighter. I couldnโt begin to imagine what the narrative would be but I did have…

Christmas Movie Review – Spirited
โ
Same as buses! Wait ages for one and then they all start to arrive at once. So it is with Christmas films. Last week I had a look at Christmas In The Caribbean and now I have to add another to our Christmas film hubโฆSpirited. Apple Studios have produced a new adaptation of A Christmas…

Movie Review – The Tragedy Of Macbeth (2021)
I donโt think there is anyone out there who is unaware of William Shakespeare. You might not have actually been to a theatre to see a production but, paradoxically, that isnโt the only place to see Shakespeareโs words being performed. I donโt think itโs over pushing the point to say that most people havenโt necessarily…

Christmas Documentary Review – โTwas The Fight Before Christmas (2021)
โ
โTwas The Fight Before Christmas (2021) from Apple TV+ is another of those films that emphasises the difference between the USA and the UK. Over here weโre only vaguely religious in the main. By that I mean that when you go into hospital they always ask your religion. The majority will say C of E…

Documentary Review –ย The Year Earth Changed
โ
โMarch 2020. Overnight, our lives are put on pause. But, as we stop, remarkable things start to change in the natural world.โ The Year Earth Changed opens with the venerable tones of David Attenborough, which reassure you this is going to be fascinating, entertaining, and educational three-quarters of an hour. Apple got together with the…

Documentary Review – Bruce Springsteenโs Letter To You
โ
Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band have been together since October 1972; pretty much continuously and pretty much unchanged. While the Bruce and the band are thought to be synonymous and a performing unit they have played with a wide range of other acts including, but not confined to: Air Supply, Gary U.S. Bonds,…
