Watched BBC One's Silent Witness last night and was left wondering whether the subject covered actually made for decent viewing or not? I'm no prude, but the programme (IMHO) shed a bad light on the Police, Care Homes, Carers and their staff and I'm not sure if it made for decent television. Granted, all very topical,…
If anyone wants to see a heart-warming story (somewhat harrowing in parts because it features the awful conditions and lives endured by street children in India) then go to see Lion which is based on a true story. A five year old boy in India lost his brother, got on a train, arrived in Calcutta 1600 kilometres from home,…
Went to see the new Gary Oldman film about Churchill and the start of World War 2 when he takes over as Prime Minister. It's not a war film but a film about war if you see what I mean.

I have really enjoyed watching Strictly over the years. ---- But is this year's offering going to be the start of it's downfall. Poor choice of unknown " Celebrities " and the same old tired format in production is not inviting. Will I still watch it ? -- Probably Am I looking forward to it this year.-- Not Really
Did anyone else watch the second series of this drama which came to an end last night? I'm not always keen on these drama series which are shown over several weeks, but this was something special. Very sympathetic treatment of a not very well understood condition focusing both on the autistic boy Joe himself and the effect…
