Series 2 coming soon?

[9/10 · 23 November 2021]

Really enjoyed this light drama series, nicely acted, credible story, beautiful location BUT is there an episode missing. It didn't reach a proper conclusion.

Will there be another series?

The Boat That Rocked (2009)

The film of the century

[10/10 · 6 November 2009]

10 out of 10 isn't enough, I'd give it 100 out of 10. Absolutely brilliant, great British comedy, great script, fantastic actors (magic casting!) AND OF COURSE ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS music, I must get the Soundtrack! Not only the music, but a great story, so nostalgic, and oh my god the fashion! And it's real vintage! OMG I used to have all that stuff! Wish I'd never thrown it out! (It wouldn't fit me now but I'd make a fortune on trade me!) This movie appeals not just to THOSE WHO WERE THERE but to all ages (imagine the experience of listening to those classic tracks for the VERY FIRST TIME again! Wow, better than drugs! better than your cherry being popped!) And I proved it by watching with some young'uns!. Took me straight back to the 60s snuggled up to my wee tranny (in those days that wasn't a bisexual, but a small mobile radio LOL) in the wee small hours, the whole sound was magical, not like the boom boxes now, BUT the tracks are extra brilliant with modern sound system) We used to listen to pirate radio whenever we could, so free, no stuffy broadcasters, not like aunty beeb (BBC). So now I've bought the DVD and watch it whenever I can and haven't got sick of it yet. AND NOR WILL YOU.

Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii (1972)

Never get tired of watching it!

[10/10 · 26 March 2008]

Unbelievably nostalgic yet so fresh! Brilliant DVD, the music is fantastic as always, the sound quality, visuals and whole production amazing. For years I only knew what they looked like in the 90s and later. To see how they looked in the 70s is awesome. I used to feel ambivalent about some of their music, I loved some of it but not all. Having this DVD to play and replay made me realize just what great musicians they were and still are and I usually follow it with Pink Floyd at Live 8, when the four of them got back together again for the first time in years. Amazing to see the march of time in their faces, they're my generation so its not off putting or anything. In fact it just confirms what we've all known for so long, Pink Floyd are Timeless (and still very handsome! I'll always love you David! Sigh!)
