[Is it PotG?]

Series 3 of the (revamped) thriller Den som Dræber (Danish) appears on BBC 4 this Saturday.

Series 1, with the gorgeous Laura Bach, is well worth a view if you can find it.

Series 4 appears on the Beeb Sat 8th April. Very good series.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Series 1 of Guilt was pretty good, dark humour and well paced.

Series 2 however, was very messy and uneven. Not having Ally Fraser cast once more as the bad guy was a mistake.

Should have binned it after S1, imho of course.

The final instalment of Guilt will play out on BBC Two in weekly instalments, as well as the full series on BBC iPlayer. This final part of the trilogy sees the brothers back together but enemies old, and new, cause them to seek ever more desperate solutions to their problems. Digging deep into their past, Max and Jake hope to finally find a future free of danger… and each other.

Thursday 27 April.

The BBC has announced a new, four-part crime drama based on real-life events.

Filming has begun on Steeltown Murders, is written by Manhunt’s Ed Whitmore and will air in 2023.

Set in both 1973 and the early 2000s, the story centres on the hunt to catch the killer of three young women in the Port Talbot area and the remarkable story of how – in the first case of its kind – the mystery was solved almost 30 years later using pioneering DNA evidence.

And it boasts a very good cast: Philip Glenister and Steffan Rhodri lead the cast as DCI Paul Bethell and Phil ‘Bach’ Rees, with their younger selves played by Scott Arthur and Siôn Alun Davies respectively. They will be joined by Keith Allen and others.

Monday 15th May. Beeb One.

Finally catching up on 'Blue Lights'. It's fantastic.

Just the last episode to go now, that's my lunchtime viewing sorted.

Just done season 1 of Borgen on iplayer. Gutted I couldn't download more seasons before I came away with work. Really good.

[Is it PotG?]

It’s a funny old world. We loved ‘The Tourist.’ Very different to anything else we have seen. Also recently enjoyed ‘You don’t know me’ and ‘Showtrial.’

The BBC has announced the return of Showtrial.

The second series will star Adeel Akhtar, Nathalie Armin, and Michael Socha, and will once again centre around a criminal trial that divides the nation and takes place in the full glare of the media spotlight.

When the high-profile climate activist Marcus Calderwood is left for dead in a violent hit and run, he uses his dying moments to identify his killer – a serving policeman. But who is this unnamed ‘Officer X’? What does his own history reveal about the nature of trauma and revenge, and was Marcus’s death a careless accident or cold-blooded murder?

From the victim’s last breath to the jury’s final verdict, Showtrial takes us into the worlds of the charismatic and cocky officer Justin Mitchell (Socha); Sam Gill (Akhtar), an anxious defense solicitor with a reputation for winning lost causes; and Leila Hassoun-Kenny (Armin), a rigorous CPS lawyer leading the case against the accused.

Don`t know how it happened but I missed The Thick Of It first time round, Peter Capaldi is brilliant as Malcolm Tucker.

If you liked the series I can thoroughly recommend the film "in the loop". Showing on iplayer.

8-parter Colosseum is very impressive and very watchable

 

[Icy Gull]

I watched Heat again last night. Brilliant film apart from the very silly shoot out with the police after the bank robbery

 

[Icy Gull]

8-parter Colosseum is very impressive and very watchable

That sounds right up my street. I’ll give that a watch. Thanks

Is it VERY gory? Not so keen on that.

Not gratuitously gory, and doesn't salaciously linger on violent scenes, as many depictions before it have done. Has its moments tho

For a Few Dollars More available to watch now. Top quality Spaghetti Western. One of the best. If you haven't seen it yet you really should.

 

[Worthingite]

Watched all four episodes of the Sixth Commandment last night - a true story about the Maid Morton murders. Timothy Spall is incredible in it.

Wolf was utter tripe. Gave up 15 mins into episode 2.
