Movies and TV Shows

TV

• Slow Horses - easily the best thing that we are watching at the moment. Oldman's Lamb is my role model.
• Doctor Who - Wild Blue Yonder was great. The Giggle was middling at best. RTD's sickly sentimentality dominated the conclusion.
• Monarch: Legacy of Monsters - the first three episodes have been surprisingly good. This - the fourth - was basically dull.
• Krapopolis - wasn't sure about this to start with, but it has grown on me. Waddingham's Deleria is the obvious inital draw, but the rest of the main characters have been fleshed out to the point where I will be looking forward to season 2.
• Enemy at the Door - from 1978, although I can recall nothing at all of it from back then. Set in the German occupied Channel Isles during WWII, each episode centres around a moral dilemma relating to loyalties, duty, consequences for the bigger picture etc etc from both sides. It holds up remarkably well.

Film

• Krampus (2015) - which has become something of a tradition for us on Krampusnacht, and continues to be enjoyable.
• I Know Where I'm Going (1945) - a Powell and Pressburger that doesn't hit the heights of A Matter of Live and Death or The Red Shoes etc but is still a stylishly told tale. I particularly enjoyed the portrayal of Webster's intended husband only through a staff card, a printed itinerary and a disembodied radio voice.
