- Factual. Buckinghamshire schoolteacher, Mrs James, is the star of this WWII propaganda film. It shows how evacuees from surrounding towns adapt to village life and wartime conditions.
H is for Hawk
Just watched it on BBC2 Scot, showing now on BBC2 (I expect it will be on i-player)
Fantastic and moving documentary on a womanâs obsession with the loss of her father and her subsequent rehabilitation which was assisted by training a female Goshawk.
Eldest has just gone movie mad and has a 5-page list of classics she wants to catch up on.
Tonight weâre going to watch Memento.

Ah man, I keep meaning to watch that but have never got round to it. Heard itâs amazing.
Superb movie. Donât think Guy Pearce has done a bad one, tbh.
Bearing in mind when I first saw it 20odd years ago he had just stepped off the set of Neighbours, it was something of a WTF?! moment.
I know, but turns out he can act. And well, lol. Whoâd have thunk itâŚ
Nile Rodgers doesnât often appear on my music spectrum - when he does he always manages to smack me about the temples with his musicianship. The collaboration of old school and youthful talent is a real joy.

Billion Dollar Deals, exploring how technology is exploited by business and how a series of relatively small meetings made changes on a global scale outside of politics, fascinating stuff. Three programmes, Money, Health and Work. Worth a watch.
Very well done, worth a watch

Gunpowder. Gripping stuff so far. Being brought up as a catholic, we learned about that period of persecution & visited various stately homes with priest holes & escape tunnels (including Baddesley Clinton). This drama makes real the terrors of religious differences which I suppose were similar then to those still occurring between Sunni & Shia Muslims in the middle east now.

Was this the one filmed partly at Coughton Court?
Yes possibly. Some of it anyway. It didnât look like Baddesley C.
EDIT : It appears that a good deal of it was filmed at locations in Yorkshire.
