5 December 2018 Rob Buckley Post a comment

Every month, TMINE lets you know what TV the BFI will be presenting at the South Bank in London

After a rather full schedule before Christmas, the BFI appears to want to settle back into its armchair, loosen its belt and have a quiet snooze in January, because there’s a grand total of one TV presentation the whole month.

Pinky's Mom I watched this show first run back in the 80s. Surprisingly arch and intelligent, it held me with its graphic-novel style storytelling. Little on TV appealed to me back then, and that fact hasn't...
