Summer Of Rockets is a new Stephen Poliakoff drama set around the beginning of the Cold War, circa 1957/58, and while I’ve not really been able to get into his earlier works, this one did seem quite accessible from the start. It follows Russian Jewish inventor Samuel Petrukhin (Toby Stephens) who’s living with family in […]

Save Me centres around Nelly (Lennie James), rather a modern day Arthur Daley, doing a bit of wheeling and dealing here and there, rather than a proper job. He has principles to a degree, but being monogamous isn’t one of them, as he lives with Tina, aka ‘Teens’ (Kerry Godliman), but he’s sleeping with several […]

Bancroft… Anne Bancroft… no, that’s The Graduate. This, however, begins in 1990, and the song “Killer“, by Adamski and Seal. Of course, anyone with a brain knows that 1990 was time for the Guru, but the former track is more appropriate as young Laura Fraser (Lily Sacofsky) is brown bread.

One Of Us, one of us, one of us, one of us… sorry, no, there’s no repetitive chanting, here. The four-parter begins with the lovely tale of Adam and Grace (Jeremy Newmark Jones and Kate Bracken), childhood sweethearts who went to the same Uni and then got married, but it’s worse than that, they’re dead, […]
