Boulter Street Boy
@RodneyMarshall1 A bold decision. First two series are very strong. The third suffers from budget cuts, amongst other things. Watching this as a child in the 70s, the sense of loyalty, doing the decent thing, and the humour were what stood out for me. Hope it works for you.

With both Star Trek and me celebrating our 60th birthdays, I decided that it was time to boldly go where I haven't been before and join the Starship USS Enterprise for its original three seasons. And keep a log of my thoughts...

Lew Grade: “First of all, I gave Roger a cigar. He liked to smoke cigars. Then I went to the drawer, and I’d written out a cheque. I said, “This is to start with.’ He looked at that cheque and said, ‘When do I start?’

Lew Grade: “I was in America, sitting in when ABC were doing their schedules. They said they needed a programme for Tuesday nights... I said, ‘What about Roger Moore again?’ They said, ‘We really want something different. So I said, ‘What happens if I get Tony Curtis as well?’ 1/

ITC secret agent rulebook. No. 1. Try wearing glasses to disarm the enemy when going undercover. When asked to explain his bespectacled look by his M9 bosses in one episode, John Drake offers the dry reply: “I thought they might help to tone down my natural masculine aggression.”

From Russia With Love remains the only great James Bond movie. (I love 'em all, or, almost all, but by objective standards, FRWL is a great movie). Excellent as Vladek Sheybal is, I'm sorry that wasn't Peter Lorre...he's one of the few actors mentioned in Fleming's works.
Cinema Tweets@CinemaTweets1

From Russia With Love is some of the best filmmaking to ever come out of the Bond Franchise. Sean Connery is excellent as 007 per usual, but Robert Shaw is an outstanding & worthy adversary. I love how this story embraces the Cold War & espionage because it shows us a more thoughtful, creative side of Bond. This is in the conversation for best Bond film ever made.

Ten years ago the people of this country voted to leave the EU in the biggest expression of popular will in our history. We need to stop fearing the freedom and make use of it and move on together. 🇬🇧

@BelinaLiz @SewellGActor Lovely photo! I grew up watching your dad in so many tv shows, not least UFO, Special Branch, and Tinker Tailor. But I was particularly glad to catch him live in the musical "Billy" at Drury Lane in the mid-70s. He was never less than excellent.

@XMartinsMusicX I must admit, I've never rated this album as highly as so many others have done. But... Isn't It a Pity is a wonderful song.

Long before The Bourne Identity was made into a film it was adapted as a two-part TV series, starring: Richard Chamberlain, Jaclyn Smith, Anthony Quayle, Denholm Elliott, Peter Vaughan, Philip Madoc, James Laurenson, Michael Mellinger, Jacqueline Pearce. Never seen this version.

@thisisnothappen @hughlaurie @jan_murray I don’t think that the OP was causing offence. It was what she thought about a long-defunct TV series. If I said I thought The Untouchables (ask your granny) was unconvincing that wouldn’t be offensive (you might not agree with it, but it’s not offensive).

Late to the party, but I've started watching Season 1 of House. Same narrative every episode: Patient has mysterious illness. Hugh Laurie (House) gets diagnosis wrong. Patient nearly dies. Hugh Laurie gets diagnosis wrong again. Gets threatened with being fired. Patient nearly dies again. Hugh Laurie has last minute leftfield idea. Gets diagnosis right. Doesn't get fired. Eight seasons of this?

Hugh Laurie
Hugh Laurie@hughlaurie·
Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy. One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what?? The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you. Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!
