I’m indebted to Scott at Love and Garbage for pointing out that Engrenages (aka Spiral aka ‘The good French TV show’) is coming out on DVD in October. Which is just marvellous.
Better news still is that the second series starts on Sunday in France, and should be coming to BBC4 later this year after a repeat of the first series; there’s also an unconfirmed rumour that series three is already being worked on. Give it a try: it’s worth it, I reckon.
Now there’s lush. FX, the UK TV channel that no one watches yet keeps picking good stuff to show, has bought the rights to The Daily Show spin-off The Colbert Report and is showing it at 11pm, starting tonight. It’s good and it’s funny (although you’ll probably have had to watch Bill O’Reilly on Fox News to really get the point of it) so catch it if you can – unfortunately, you’re probably not going to be able to watch it since it’s on Sky rather than Freeview. Ho hum.
Today’s Sitting Tennant comes from Persephone. Don’t forget to thank her while I’m off tuning my Spanish guitar!
No one (okay maybe a few people) hates people who talk during movies more than I do. But, if you’re high up in the Odeon Leicester Square in the row behind one of the dividers and your wife isn’t tall enough to read the bottom of the screen when she’s sitting down, is it acceptable to read the subtitles to her?
Wow. Would you believe it? There was absolutely no news over the weekend. Incredible!
Not believable is it? Truth is, life caught up with me a little over the weekend and I didn’t have time to do the news this morning. Fingers crossed, it’ll be back tomorrow and I’ll get reviews of The Haunting of Thomas Brewster and The Poison Sky done between now and the end of the week, at least.
Sorry for any inconvenience or disappointment caused!
