Crazy Diamond is the fourth episode of Philip K Dick’s Electric Dreams, although it was originally scheduled to be the fifth, as it’s swapped places with next week’s Real Life. Not quite sure why as, while it’s stars Steve Buscemi and Borgen‘s Sidse Babett Knudsen, it’s not as good as those we’ve had already. That […]
