Yeah, saw this last night and it was utterly compelling. I liked the way they used modern actors lip-syncing the words. I don't know what most of the soldiers looked like but the actor they got playing John Howard was an incredible likeness -it made it seem even more realI thought this was excellent and a fantastic way of honouring/keeping alive the voices and memories of some of those that lived through the horrors.

I don’t think we agree politically @IsitPOTG but I do think we like a lot of the same TV series - will watch out for this one - thanks
That is a superb film. And it’s got Teri Garr in her pomp. Never a bad thing.

15th July, The Jetty.
When a fire tears through a property in a scenic Lancashire lake town, Detective Ember Manning (Coleman) must work out how it connects to a podcast journalist investigating a missing persons cold case and an illicit relationship between a man in his twenties and two underage girls. But as Ember gets close to the truth, it threatens to destroy her life – forcing her to re-evaluate everything she thought she knew about her past, present and the town she’s always called home. As much a coming-of-age story as a detective thriller, The Jetty asks big questions about sexual morality, identity and memory, in the places that Me Too has left behind.

Thanks, just watched it. What a nasty piece of work the judge Freisler was, good to know that he was killed when the court was bombed a few months later. The executions were filmed for Hitler to view later but he didn't watch the film, according to Speer, who also didn't watch it.

Upcoming BBC One series Ludwig is described as a “comedy drama”.
David Mitchell stars as reclusive puzzle-setter, John ‘Ludwig’ Taylor who sees his life of solitude turned upside down when his identical twin brother, James, disappears without a trace. In a quest to track James down, Ludwig assumes his brother’s identity, but by taking over every aspect of James’s life, Ludwig is forced to confront his own. Unlike Ludwig, James is no hermit; he’s a family man and a highly respected DCI within Cambridge’s busy Major Investigations Team.
These are big shoes to fill for anyone, but for Ludwig playing dad to a ready-made family proves every bit as challenging as tackling the grisliest of crime scenes. However, Ludwig does have one big advantage – his ability to see the world in puzzle form. John may be a master of all things cryptic, but can he crack the biggest puzzle of his life?
Joining Mitchell in the ‘case-of-the-week’ series is Anna Maxwell Martin, as Lucy Betts-Taylor, John’s sister-in-law and wife of his missing brother James; Dipo Ola as DI Russell Carter, Gerran Howell as DC Simon Evans, Izuka Hoyle as DS Alice Finch, Dylan Hughes as Henry Betts-Taylor, Dorothy Atkinson as DCS Carol Shaw, Sophie Willan as Holly Pinder, and Ralph Ineson as Chief Constable Ziegler.
Guest stars in the series include national treasures Derek Jacobi and Felicity Kendal, Rose Ayling-Ellis, Karl Pilkington, Allan Mustafa, Paul Chahidi, and Hammed Animashaun.
