sophia Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 On 24/01/2023 at 17:50, Savage Henry said: The original TV series of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is on the iPlayer, and it hasn’t aged a bit. Up there with Boys from the Black Stuff. I finally got around to watching it during the lazy solstice stop and I agree, it was thoroughly enjoyable. Tonight I watched the last two hours of Ken Burns' US and the holocaust on iPlayer. I would recommend it to each and every viewer that can spare six hours of their time to get an insight into how easy it is for us to take the wrong path. Or if you want a moment of on your feet defiant courage that might just compromise your composure, one hour and four minutes into the second episode goes a little way to balancing the multitude of grim reflections. Oh and Henry Ford. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkieRR Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I've heard Alec Guinness described as 'the Star Wars actor' which always makes me a bit killy. Great Expectations, Lavender Hill Mob, Man in the White Suit, Ladykillers, Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, Dr Zhivago, Tinker Tailor, and you call him 'the Star Wars actor'? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget 'Kind Hearts & Coronets', where Guinness plays 8 different characters. Also 'Tunes of Glory' where he plays a Scots officer with a questionable accent ....!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Just finished watching "Treason" on Netflix. By that I mean I gave up after 4 or 5 episodes. The cast was mostly good. Charlie Cox and Oona Chaplin are both fantastic, while Ciaran Hinds oozes charisma. The thing starts off well enough with Olga Kurylenko's character poisoning Hinds (head of MI6) in his club. Thrilling start. We see Cox as a loving family man (married to the excellent Chaplin) and the family dynamic is one of the good things about this. The plot has too many moving pieces for the writer to manage and it ended up relying on a whole host of coincidences and stupid character decisions to get going. The woman that plays the CIA quine is terrible too. It's one of the worst performances I've ever seen actually; a baffling piece of casting. Anyway, it started off well, and Chaplin and Cox make a great and engaging onscreen couple, but it turns to absolute shite pretty quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northboy Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I clicked on Russia 1985-1999 on BBC4 last night. Fascinating stuff about the break up of the Soviet Union through local media an video footage. Only had time for 15 minutes last night but plan to watch more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit of an Adam Curtis fanboy and he looks at the breakdown of Russia in his 2016 film 'Hypernormalisation'. Refers to Putin's communications guy Surtov and namechecks the Stragatsky brothers amongst others......................... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Nolly on ITVX. 3 parter written by Russell T. Davies and starring Helena Bonham Carter as the iconic Crossroads actor Noelle Gordon. Brilliant piece of telly given that not many will remember Crossroads or Noelle Gordon for that matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it - didn't actively watch but my mum did and I was in the room when it was on so picked it up through osmosis. Never realised she was such a diva though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Tattiescone Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Clarkson's Farm. Much less scripted than Series 1 and less silly projects. His neighbours fucking hate him though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
