I challenge you to find a camper stagey video than this one. (Warning. Rude word in it!).

I may not follow the rest of the (first) season but episode 3 of The Last of Us (HBO, I believe), is some piece of work. Rather moving. I think you can call it a stand alone, though the wonderful Anna Torv is in all three.

I've just posted about Netflix's Lockwood and Co on the general telly thread but will mention it here too - very enjoyable. I haven't got round to The Last of Us yet because January was grim enough already.

Nolly in ITVx is worth a look.
Typical RTD stuff. Great central performance by Helena Bonham Carter
Lovely period detail and a great sense of what Crossroads was like ...

Helena Bonham Carter was brilliant. It probably wouldn’t have been as good with someone else. Also enjoyed Con O’Neill as Jack Barton. I was surprised as to how true the story was and the attention to detail was spot on. I watched the very interesting documentary afterwards as well.

I think you can call it a stand alone, though the wonderful Anna Torv is in all three. I've just caught up with the first three episodes and thought that one had a depth lacking from the previous episodes. The first episode opened well with the catastophic event but then jumped forward into bog standard dystopian city and I did wonder if it was worth watching more, but the good reviews of ep 3 convinced me and it was worth sticking with. The production design is super and makes me wish we had a bigger telly, and that Netflix, HBO or whoever would pull their finger out and turn some classic 2000AD stories into TV series rather than the endless Star Wars and Marvel prequels and spin offs they're currently besotted with.

I'm old enough to remember Crossroads but didn't know about her early work and also about what she did after including Gypsy. I also remember that she and Larry Grayson were great friends for many years.

Yup, E3 is pretty original and striking, though the rest probably reflects the shows origins in computer gaming. Might leave it now for the less aged ..

The Last of Us episode 4 was disappointingly meh, sadly. I haven't played the game, but a series should stand on its own feet and I'm just not finding the storyline very original or the two protagonists all that engaging - morose man with minimal backstory and the girl who is meant to be 14 and surviving an apocalypse but comes across more like a chirpy 9 year old visiting Toys R Us. And it has such a bleak view of the human race that you wonder why the writers think it's worth saving

Just caught up with the deliciously performed Nolly, and the wonderfully named Augustus Prew keeping with Helena. yep lovely detail and observation - great stuff. it felt a bigger budget than those 80minute BBC4 or 3 biopics such as Helena as Enid Blyton that felt interesting but done on a shoestring.

I've just finished Extraordinary Attorney Woo on Netflix, one of the best things I've watched in a long time. Wholesome, funny, touching and thought provoking.
It's a K-drama (I watched the dubbed version) about an Attorney with autism. It's so well acted and written

I loves Squid Game when it first came out and also loved Physical 100 (not a drama). Not Korean but also enjoyed Japanese Alice in Borderland and Run For The Money (game show). Extraordinary Attorney Woo isn't as dark as a lot of Korean drama, it's more like Ally Mcbeal or Ugly Betty in tone

A lot of the big name series of recent years are coming to an end this year and next. Is there anything coming up that you're looking forward to that looks like filling that gap?

These are what I've got down of interest for the next couple of months. They could all be terrible though. I'm not sure any jump out as stellar but Daisy Jone and Big Door Prize intrigue me the most. (I have a very long list of interesting things for 2023 if you're interested) Daisy Jones and the Six - Amazon - 12 eps - March 3rd Ted Lasso - March 13th Bali 2002 - - IITV - 16th march Extrapolations - Apple TV - March 17th Lucky Hank - AMC - March 19 Rabbit Hole - CBS - March 23rd The Power - Prime - March 31st Big Door Prize - Apple TV+ - March 29th - Chris O’Dowd, machine changes small town lives Schmigadoon - Apple TV+ - April 7th Tiny Beautiful Things - Disney+ - April 7th Dead Ringers - April 21st Mrs Davis - Peacock - April 20th A Small Light - 8 eps - Disney+ - may 2nd - Ann Frank’s helpers Queen Charlotte - 4th May - Netflix City on Fire - Apple TV+ - May 12th - student shooting The Last Thing He Told Me - Apple + - May 19th

I thought the Daisy Jones book was brilliant so I’m really looking forward to the TV series. They’ve been doing a good build up campaign on their socials in the run up to it starting so I hope it’s just as good.

There's a 'limited series' adaptation of The Gallows Pole coming up on BBC, and I've seen casting calls for Shardlake, the medieval detective series, which is promising. I haven't watched Slow Horses yet as I don't have that streamer but heard good things. These are what I've got down of interest for the next couple of months. They could all be terrible though. I'm not sure any jump out as stellar but Daisy Jone and Big Door Prize intrigue me the most. Thanks! I will have to dip into Apple TV at some point.

Sad to say Netflix have just announced they're cancelling Lockwood and Co, the idiots. I've just ploughed though Poker Face which is fun especially if you are a Columbo fan. Poker Face is coming to Now TV at the end of the month. Looking forward to seeing it!

Fifteen-Love is now streaming on Amazon Prime. I’ve seen the first episode and impressed so far, they’ve released it at a good time- coming just after Wimbledon so there should be some interest in this.

Good Omens 2 seems to be shaping up well
It is the only thing in which I can cope with Mr Sheen.
Mr Tennant is having a ball!
