I Know Where I’m Going BBC2. Love these old black and white films and I’ve never seen this one. It’s lovely.

I need to watch on iplayer as it's on at 10 isn't it when I am putting dog and myself to bed

Thankfully each episode is only thirty minutes long ( many of the best series these days are thirty minutes long) because I had to binge watch all of it last night. I wish I could have a bout of amnesia so I could watch it afresh. It had everything, I laughed, cried and was on the edge of my seat at one time. In fact there’s one thing in it that, every time I think about it my eyes well up….(they’re doing it now)…

Classic!

Wendy Hiller was a seriously under-rated actor. I didn't realise until I watched Pygmalion many years ago. She absolutely stole it.

On DVD...

I Confess

Hitchcock classic with the brilliant Montgomery Clift, in brilliant form with Anne Baxter and Karl Malden, about the priest to whom a murder has been confessed.

Yesterday afternoon The ODESSA File was on TV so I decided to watch it. I have the DVD but haven't watched it for a while. It's a very watchable film.

I haven't read the book but it made me go back and re-read the relevant chapter in Forsyth's autobiography (The Outsider) to find out what parts were fact and which fiction.

A wee bit like The Day of the Jackal, it's a low budget film but very watchable and, like that first novel, relies on fact for its foundations.

I recently reread the book and was surprised how much of it differs from the film. That said both are excellent in their own right.

Just watched How to get to heaven from Belfast on Netflix, really enjoyable.

Also Landman on Paramount +, brilliant.

I binged Small Prophets too. It was sublime! One of the best things I have seen in a long time. So beautifully observed, written and acted and a treat to see Michael Palin back acting rather than just doing a travel documentary.

Looking forward to a second series - Mackenzie Crook is a treasure! "Do you sell buckets?"
