Giving up on this now, itās shit.
Iām sure it was a really clever artsy decision to make most the latest episode in complete darkness with just spooky music but as a viewer itās fucking shite.

Should be on iPlayer as a series IMO, but theyāre on individually so quite hard to find.
The Stalls Of Barchester
A Warning To The Curious
and Lost Hearts is on BBC4 tonight.
While the production values are not, as they say, through the roof, theyāre still pretty spooky to me.
Itās also fun seeing the character actors who were so familiar in oneās childhood.
Finally a really good Marvel film
On Blu Ray ā¦

Has anyone watched this? IMDB ratings donāt look great but itās Katee Sackhoff

Youāve very probably seen this, but just in case you havenāt

Certainly available on Amazon and probably on iPlayer.

In the original comics (which I loved as a teenager) Shang-Chi turned out to be the son of the evil Fu Manchu. Eventually Marvel had to drop this storyline as Fu Manchu was a copyrighted fictional character and they couldnāt just borrow him!

I really liked in the recent Star Wars films that Rey wasnāt of ānobleā force blood - she was nobody, just happened to be strong. Then she was.
Loads of these things effectively perpetuate the idea of nobility through genetic superiority. I dislike it intensely.
Generally Marvel is much better in this way - loads of their superheroes were normal people. DC had those born to greatness - Superman, Batman (rich) and Wonder Woman. But I guess this is the exception that proves the rule. Like Iron Manā¦

Spoilers mate but err wasnāt she a scion of the Palpatine bloodline?
Yeah they fucked it up with episode 9, but she was a nobody until then. I should have added that part

Wow! Waititi directing it as wellā¦ very good choice, I think. I have the hardback book of it, but I havenāt finished it yet, as Iām enjoying it so much I donāt want to burn through it too quickly.
