Film and TV review.

I watched the Luther boxsets over Xmas and thought it was very good. I liked Idris Elba in The Wire as well.

Just watching the BBC4 Lamb Lies Down on Broadway documentary and all I can think of is Brian Pern.

Absolutely perfect pastiche.

Agreed and Brian Pern is returning on Thursday on BBC4.

is it a new one xmiles? Have to set the sky + planner for that 

Yes and the excellent Simon Day and Michael Kitchen are joined by Suranne Jones playing Pern's "abrasive, new ballsy American wife" according to the Radio Times.

It's already in my planner and I can't wait.

There was a moment in the Genesis documentary where Steve Hackett starts moaning about being kicked out of the band or something and they all give him withering looks and Gabriel just looks at the camera and it was pure Pern.

Brilliant stuff.

Finished MR ROBOT this weekend, very gripping storyline. Not sure a second series would be as good but definitely worth a watch -

Great news that a new series of Robot Wars has been commissioned. Nine one hour episodes to be filmed in Glasgow.

Used to love it. Hope they don't ruin it,by trying to 'improve' it.

Agreed. The format was perfect. If it ain't broke don't try to mend it. Don't think Craig Charles will be doing the commentary.

I was just watching Robot Wars. It's on Challenge tv now.

Robot The Bruce was a grand finalist at one time.

I wonder if any connection?

CBB is going way OTT tonight. Clearly some of the celebrities are desperate for airtime.

Did anyone catch the Tracy Ullman Show?

The BBC stuck it on at 10.45 on Monday. Shameful.

It was brilliant.

Pretty decent adaptation of the film.

Is that the western with vampires in it? If so, yes, quite good.

There are vampires in it but it is not really a western. It is set in the 1990s (when the film was made). One of the highlights of the film is the dance performed by Halma Sayek which you are unlikely to forget if you have seen it.

Directed by Tentin Quarentino no doubt.

Making a murderer - intriguing.

I was going to point it out as well but couldn't be arsed.
