  • James reviews Gilmore Girls on ITV2, Wheeler Dealers on Quest and Joker (2019) on ITV1
    Oct 13 2024

    James has got confused (again) He's reviewed ‘Gilmore Girls’ thinking it was ‘Derry girls’. But he likes it anyway (with a few reservations.) And as for 'wheeler dealers', well, passionate experts looking at mechanical stuff has always appealed. And then there is Joker. Well, not the anodyne origin story he was expecting. Grime. Violence. Menace. All in all, a brilliant film, so far from the usual tedious superman/batman snooze-fests it could have come from a different planet. A must watch.

  • James reviews Ludwig on BBC1, Anna Richardson: Love, Loss & Dementia on Channel 4, and MAFS UK: It’s Official! With Chloe Burrows on E4.
    Oct 7 2024

    James had heard of Ludwig, even read a good review about it, so he thinks he should shove in his critical ha’pence. As for Anna Richardson: Love, Loss & Dementia …. well … like most people his age, James is scared? Terrified? Curious? About losing his marbles, and ending up drooling in the corner. And to finish, what is - are? - MAFS? That’s M A F S. James has no idea, so thought he'd find out.

  • James reviews Secret Crush on ITV2, Killer In My Village on Sky Mix, and The Kid (1921) on Sky Arts.
    Sep 30 2024

    So, here we go for another eclectic mix: ‘Secret Crush’ which is a .. erm … game show? A reality program? In truth, James isn't sure. He's hoping for ‘dress to impress’ levels of mind-boggling ineptitude and fist in mouth embarrassment, but who knows? Plus, what appears to be a dramadoc about small town murders, so could be interesting. And, to finish, a silent, black and white Charlie Chaplin classic. How does that appear now, a 103 years later?

    In a mysterious English village, a tramp wearing a bowler hat is carrying a heart-shaped letter while a girl holding a knife looks on.
