1917 has a feel of Saving Private Ryan about it, as the soldiers are tasked with delivering a message to stop a situation which would lead to 1600 men dying… including the brother of one of the soldiers. Directed by Sam Mendes (loved Jarhead and American Beauty; hated Road To Perdition, Skyfall and Spectre), I […]
Good Omens poses the opener that you might’ve thought that the universe began 14 billion years ago, and the Earth, 4.6bn years ago, but this series confirms that it all began on Sunday 21st October 4004 BC, at 9am… Sounds plausible. Whatever you believe, God is a woman – voiced by Frances McDormand, and Earth […]

The Interrogation of Tony Martin centres around the farmer who shot burglar Fred Barras in the back as he ran away from the scene. To this day, Mr Martin has been unrepentant, and insists he would do it again if required. And he is 100% correct. If someone breaks into your property, anything you do […]
Mother’s Day relives the harrowing day on Saturday, March 20th 1993, the day before Mother’s Day, and the day the IRA bombed Warrington, claiming the lives of young 12-year-old Tim Parry and 3-year-old Johnathan Ball. The bombs didn’t go off at the same time, but as everyone was running away from the first, some would […]
The Limehouse Golem is a series of murders which shook its community to the point where people believe that only a legendary creature from dark times – the mythical so-called Golem – must be responsible…. like you do. The film has a good cast, but I wasn’t gripped by the trailer. Perhaps that’s down to […]
Against the Law centres around as Peter Wildeblood (Daniel Mays) in a drama based on his autobiography, and as part of BBC’s Gay Britannia season, about how it’s 50 years this year since it was rightly legalised to be homosexual. However, what I did learn from this drama, is that the law could’ve been put […]

Guerrilla is set in London, 1971, a time of racism and white people against black people, a time I’d like to think we’ve got far away from, although even today, the police are stuck in that horrendous stone age.
