If there’s something I really don’t need in my life it’s more frigging Monty Python documentary. I’ve been watching/reading Python docos pretty much since I’ve known about the Pythons. While watching this I realised that with the bulk of their work produced between 1969 and 1983, the Python team have been reminiscing about their work…
I kinda went into this one without much idea what I was signing up for – but it turned into quite an engaging murder-mystery following an alcoholic flight attendant as she tried to get to the bottom of the murder of the multimillionaire playboy whose death she’d been framed in. Couple that with some subplots…
This was the ABC network’s “contemporary” take on using the Muppet characters in a mockumentary behind-the-scenes-on-a-variety-show setting… which is kinda weird, because that’s fundamentally what The Muppet Show was about. So what the hell’s different here? And, missing. The key thing – articulated by someone in one of the seemingly endless actual documentaries I’ve seen…
I got introduced into the one by Tom at work, who it eventually transpired had never actually watched it. No idea what that says about anything. Real-life siblings Daisy May and Charlie Cooper head up this show as Kerrie and Lee “Kurtan” Mucklow – young-ish residents of a Cotwsold village, in this everyday-life-characters mockumentary style…
How could you top the sublime first season? Well, by revealing that the whole thing was in fact a scripted work – and that there are discussions afoot for a US remake… only now there are other actors being considered to play Michael and David. Georgia and Anna get a pleasingly expanded role in this…
We popped this on as a nostalgic re-watch of one of the shows we shared in the formative stages of our relationship – only to then find there was an entire 2nd series we’d completely missed! Well-constructed within the confines of the genre. I’ve no idea how authentic it is or what it tells us…
It’s been a true epic in many senses, however we finally made it through to the end of Season 1. I think I’ve come to accept that this show is fundamentally a historical-fantasy-soap-opera, and realistically the plot doesn’t tend to develop *very* far in any given episode. However I’m still drawn to it, and the…
We decided to pick up the late-90s comedy as a formative favourite of Liz’s, and see how such a thing might weather today. To start with it seemed VERY dated, owing to a 4:3 aspect ratio alongside the fashion & hairstyles. Remarkable though – at the time I never felt the 90s had anything distinguishing…
This forces me to confess I haven’t read the Aldous Huxley book… but SURELY it doesn’t have all that fucking in it. Does it? Hmm. ANYWAY – it sorta teeters on the bullshittish for a long way, before tipping right over into it at the end. Useful that in the here & now we have…
This is more a placeholder to mark the date than an insightful comment. However I just can’t believe how it’s taken me so long to fall under the inane spell of Rick & Morty. Actually one standout from all the amazingness was the Snowpiercer/Story Train episode – Morty really, really is a crap storyteller. Can’t…
