poliphilo Ailz purchased a TV license last year so she could watch the tennis with a clear conscience. I may have watched a movie or two on the BBC over the past 12 months. I forget. Modern movies are pretty forgettable, don't you find?
But yesterday I binge watched Mackenzie Crook's new series Small Prophets- which is going out on BBC 2. I like Mackenzie Crook so much that I'm willing to overcome my disgust with the Beeb for his sake. Small Prophets is gentle, mischievous, magical and funny in an Ealing sort of a way. Crook himself has a supporting role, as does Michael Palin. No-one else in the cast is hugely well-known, but they're all terrific. I have two episodes still to go. There's a mystery of seven years vintage hanging over the characters and some dodgy business underway but I don't expect any of it to be resolved by gunplay....
