[TV] What's good to watch on All 4?

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

My New Best Friend
Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace
Black Books
Spaced

All comedies. All worth a watch, IMO.

The whole Tackle clan met at Faversham's Alexander Centre yesterday evening for a reading by Matthew Holness (in character as Garth) from his new book (Terrortome) and a Q and A session (all in character). I was entirely unfamiliar with the man but was soon doubled up with laughter. One of our pals (who organizes, among other things, Ricky Gervais's tours) was there to meet him to propose setting up a medium sized arena (500-2000 seater) tour. Jobzagoodun and the tour will be announced soon. Highly recommended. My son was made up when he got his copy of Terrortome signed, and a lovely photo.

How did Garth feel about people laughing at his terrifying horror prose?

Fry never fails to deliver, and in 'Willem & Frieda' we learn of a little known example of extraordinary wartime courage from the Dutch.

Compelling stuff.

Look out for a new Swedish crime drama from Walter Presents from today.

The Lost is a six-episode series that is described as a ‘nerve-wracking thriller’, which tells the story of a seemingly ordinary truck driver who makes a fatal mistake that bears tragic consequences.

Look out for Sorjonen/Bordertown favourite Ville Virtanen among the cast.

On an unusually hot summer’s day, Erwin drives over the Öresund Bridge into Sweden, with eight Syrian refugees smuggled in his tanker truck. When his vehicle is stopped for a routine police check, they instruct Erwin to properly shut the half-open tanker lid – which happens to be the refugee’s only access to air. Erwin drives away from the police checkpoint with every intention to stop and re-open the lid as he knows that the survival of his passengers depend on it.

However, an upsetting phone call from his wife completely distracts him from the crisis at hand. Inside the closed tank, tragedy looms as the refugees find it increasingly hard to breathe. Initially, Erwin began illegally smuggling to genuinely help others in desperate need, but over time his efforts to stay out of jail and cover his tracks put his morals into question. Matters only get more complicated for Erwin when he discovers that a key witness is on the loose and poses a threat to his freedom.

Regardless of his intentions, will justice catch up with Erwin in the end?

Finnish crime drama Reindeer Mafia is just around the corner on Walter Presents UK. Furthermore, look out for Beck’s Mikael Persbrandt in the cast.

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Arctic, this gripping thriller tells the story of a powerful family-run mafia, which is ripped apart by the death of its matriarch.

The series kicks off in Lapland where the great arctic matriarch Brita Nelihanka has long ruled over the wastelands in the north, but she is about to lose her fight against cancer. After her death, her relatives gather to distribute the inheritance, but Brita’s dying testament offers a host of shocking revelations. The family is torn apart when Brita’s will is read and long-kept secrets about the family’s rise to wealth are finally revealed. This triggers an intense power struggle between members of the clan and the community over control of the local businesses and ownership of the vast areas of surrounding land. As this powerful family conflict unravels in a brutally unforgiving environment how far will each member go to get what they want?

Friday 9th Feb.
