Film and TV review.

Bit mean, Boncey.

(Lot of negativity on here today - Is it the weather?)

Wheel Of Fortune was ground breaking telly back in the day.

It had a massive wheel.

And, er......questions and stuff.

And prizes.

But they weren't on a conveyor belt though, so I get where you're coming from.

He's just played the piano as well now.

Is there no end to the man's talent?

If only he could tap dance........

Don't even think about going there you troublesome cove.

Ten points for the use of the word cove on a Sunday evening.

Did you hear about "you know who" having to do his soft shoe routine whilst sat in a chair on his recent tour and making a gag out of it?

I thought about you when I heard it.

Why on earth is he touring?

One last hurrah?

He's on my dead pool list for next year, deffo.

Sorry mate.

Looking forward to the new Poltergeist movie being released at the weekend!

He's been 'chair dancing' for a few years now. Makes a feature out of it.
I'm hoping he's got a few years left,because without him,I'm nothing.
Mind you,I've made contingency plans.

Sam Rockwell and the sheriff from Fortitude in the same film?

Count me in.

As for Brucey, I wish him no ill and I think he'll be ok.

Any bloke whose hair looks more natural in 2015 than it did in 1978 has obviously done a deal with the devil, so he'll be fine.

Several new series started last week. I gave up on The Affair and 1864 but stayed with Wayward Pines.

Planning on watching Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell later today.

World War Two: 1945 & the wheelchair president, BBC4.
Catch it on the iplayer. Well worth it.

Meant to watch this! Two more recent BBC documentaries (sorry if already mentioned)

Shark 

and 

Hunters of the South Seas

Is Wayward Pines worth watching?

I recommend Made in Chelsea

Yes, specifically the DJ Ray Teret who was Savile's bagman. I'll be watching it.

Against my better judgement,I watched it.
What a sleazeball Teret is.

A very interesting documentary. It's interesting how the legal system favours the villains. The police only had 24 hours to interview ferret and he took over an hour to have a consultation with his solicitor for each separate allegation. It took 3 days for the police to interview him about each individual victim and he even tried the old ' suffering from fatigue ' ploy and requested to see a doctor. The police had to go to court to apply for a Magistrates warrant to apply for an extension in order to complete their enquiries.
His wall in his flat in 1974 was quite a revelation. I bet he never saw that coming!

It's just a pity that the bastard Savile died before he was exposed as a serial sex offender.

This story caught my eye. Back in the seventies and early eighties, Hewitt and his doubles partner, Frew McMillan were virtually unbeatable in mens double tennis. Another sporting icon who has let the side down badly.

Yes. It is a bit like The Prisoner mixed with Twin Peaks with a dash of Lost. Lost turned out to be rubbish but the other two were brilliant. It will be interesting to see if the second episode matches the first.

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell is also good.
