Blackpool (2004)

Brilliant!

[10/10 · 20 January 2006]

This series is so different, so interesting, so well put together and above all so well executed, that it is impossible to fault.

The Series is a musical - crime drama.

After a man is found dead in Ripley Holdens casino, he finds himself under investigation by the clever D.I. Carlisle.

Knowing himself to be innocent doesn't help him in the difficult task of keeping the D.I. off his back.

...and there is also the little fact that his wife is sleeping with Carlisle...

Perfect acting Perfect direction Perfect writing

Perfect!

3 Non-Blondes (2003)

a hit!

[11 November 2005]

Fantastic series, featuring really funny comediennes.

They do some great 'tricks' on the general public and the tricks are always in good fun.

This show is a bit like Trigger Happy TV - but better, as the 'victims' are not in fact victims - the jokes are not cruel.

Also the sketches are quicker - very fast, with a great punchline.

The 3 non-blondes are very talented, and are also great in the Lenny Henry Show.

Sketches of note include a woman who runs up to people, out of breath and asks them if they are black (which they invariably are) before running off again!

I only hope they make more series...
