Russell and Carol - hayle and hearty

The BBC series of Quatermass and the Pit is up on the iPlayer for the next few months. I thought I'd tweet a little about why you should give it a try if you're fond of genre storytelling and you don't know much about it. pic.twitter.com/zk74FZMOgD

The whole thing is beautifully lit and shot, capturing the tone of a London looking to the future, but still confronting the horrors of the blitz. This was big, bold storytelling, with production values that easily match the quality of feature films being made at the time.

Just finished the last episode of "The Shadow Line" (2011) (TV series) - quite astonishingly brilliant.

More like a proper play than TV drama, one of the absolute best things I've seen in years and the scene in Ireland with Gatehouse (Stephen Rea) and Crace was sublime and worth a programme of its own.
