The Man Who Killed Don Quixote is the film which writer/director Terry Gilliam (Time Bandits) has been trying to make for 30 years, originally starring Johnny Depp in the role of Toby, who has now been cast with Adam Driver, while Jonathan Pryce plays Don Quixote. With so many problems along the way, this even […]
The Children Act is a film that looks very well-intentioned, and with some great names in the cast, but it looks extremely dull. As her marriage to Jack (Stanley Tucci) flounders, eminent High Court judge Fiona Maye (Emma Thompson) has a life-changing decision to make at work – should she force a teenage boy, Adam […]
A Very English Scandal centres around the late Jeremy Thorpe (Hugh Grant), an MP who became the leader of the Liberal Party, but – starting in 1965 and with the story going back to 1961 – it was a time when being gay was very much frowned upon back then. Thankfully, times these days are […]

Hold The Sunset is every travesty I expected, and is an easy wicket for its leads, Alison Steadman, John Cleese and Jason Watkins. Steadman plays Edith, a retired widow who finds recycling difficult – just like no-one does… and puts them in plastic bags within the bins, rather than just the items themselves (duh!). Oh… […]
W1A enters its third series, so is doing brilliantly well, given that it was spawned from the two-series Twenty Twelve, which did for the London Olympics what The Thick Of It did for politics. That said, this is rumoured to be the W1A‘s last. This time, the BBC is heading towards its charter renewal, and […]

The Bill is the second episode of series 3 of Inside No.9, and if that has you wondering where the first episode went, well, that was the Christmas one. As always, the story takes place in a building of some description with the number in place, and this is a restaurant called “number nine”, and […]

Friday Night Dinner returns for a fourth series with no sign of slowing down with Robert Popper’s quickfire rate of gags.
