Oh, and I also liked Wolf Hall; then again, I'm a non-British viewer so maybe somethings weren't correct. It's like me never watching the new Hawaii Five-O, as I grew up in Hawaii watching the original :)DeanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07724268555970663130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26773117.post-32384830423490521142016-01-16T09:42:48.879+00:002016-01-16T09:42:48.879+00:00Simla, it seems, is now too modern to have been a ...Simla, it seems, is now too modern to have been a good location (they did originally want to film in India). legatus hedliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078980742683576345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26773117.post-59561464897848685472016-01-16T09:40:57.113+00:002016-01-16T09:40:57.113+00:00Mad Max is a DVD I didn't buy, mainly because ...Mad Max is a DVD I didn't buy, mainly because I am resistant to the whole post-apocalypse genre (for the same reason I can't abide zombies!). I also can't stand Charlize Theron, who I don't find remotely attractive and whose Dior adverts drive me mad!legatus hedliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078980742683576345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26773117.post-83036526828557145352016-01-16T09:36:42.916+00:002016-01-16T09:36:42.916+00:00To be fair I only watched the first two episodes w...To be fair I only watched the first two episodes with the Old Bat who gave up on it(she has no idea of history). I still have the other four episodes recorded so maybe I should give it another go.legatus hedliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078980742683576345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26773117.post-79242435720871740612016-01-16T09:34:27.835+00:002016-01-16T09:34:27.835+00:00A excellent round up and a number of things you pr...A excellent round up and a number of things you prompt me to investigate.. Topkapi because I haven't seen it in years, and the Labeque sounds good... have to disagree with you on Wolf Hall though, it was superb, just once the BBC didn't treat us like mindless teenagers with the attention span of a dead frog, and gave us something to think about while we enjoyed... I suspect Dickensian will feature in your review next year!Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26773117.post-74392676629035647242016-01-16T08:35:45.381+00:002016-01-16T08:35:45.381+00:00A splendid post, more so because you have highligh...A splendid post, more so because you have highlighted a couple of things that I had completely missed - the Punch photographs for one and I'm curious about Indian Summers. If I may offer one DVD outing for you to consider - Mad Max Fury Road. I finally caught up with this adrenalin fuelled ride the other day - splendid stuff.Michael Awdryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049982879661559305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26773117.post-42064717264491864662016-01-15T21:53:49.842+00:002016-01-15T21:53:49.842+00:00Couldn't be doing with "Indian Summers&qu...Couldn't be doing with "Indian Summers" - Julie Walters was a big factor but mainly because it was so obviously not filmed in India (Malaysia for, presumably, financial reasons?). Also a bit too much of a 2015 view of Empire. Fully agree about "Penny Dreadful" - Season 2 wasn't quite up to the standard of Season 1 but still excellent drama. I'm not a great fan of US series but, even after 5 series, "Game of Thrones is still the best thing on UK TV. Must look out the Sambourne photos, they look fascinating.Jeremy Ramseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12250118143994161913noreply@blogger.com
