Mr Bates vs. The Post Office (2024)
Made me weep
As they say 'you couldn't make it up!'
It's a national disgrace and I hope the momentum that has been gained by this superb drama keeps roaring on like a train.
I think the actors played their parts so well because they genuinely felt the pain of the real lives involved. Now when I see Toby Jones, I see Alan Bates.
The lives that it must have touched the kids parents grandparents that this gross injustice has ruined. It hardly bears thinking about.
We must all watch and learn. I am now in the USA and goodness knows we have our issues but seeing the petitions being signed around the UK following this broadcast, I have never been so proud of the British public.
Without Sin (2022)
Ruined by the wig
Good drama, well written and a bit different love Vicki McClure anhes on a par with Sarah Lancashire for me and her hair is always spectacular. So, to put her in such a god awful wig ruined it for me. So distracting and unecessary. Someone in the hair and makeup dept needs firing. If you can get past the wig, it's worth watching but it's challenging! So considering I don't have enough characters, so you recall me mentioning the wig. On Vicki McClures usually spectacularly well coiffed head. Of all people!!!!!!!!!! Just no!!!!!!!!
Still not enough characters so it leaves me to say some great acting but not by the wig!
Harry & Meghan (2022)
Brave
Personally I feel it's an honest and brave take on Harry and Meghans circumstances. It's not all about the royal family but also about the press and generally getting to know the couple. If Diana had lived, she would have made this documentary and I think she would be proud of her son and have loved Meghan. People that think they should keep quiet, why should they! The amount of vitriol they get and rubbish talked about them, I wouldn't be keeping quiet either in their position. Enough is enough. The RF are hardly paragons of virtue we need to stop treating them as such, and I have no trouble believing every word Harry and Meghan said. They are a loving affectionate couple not in the least bit wooden like Wills and Catherine. God forbid those two would ever hold hands like a 'normal' couple because they are not.
