Nice one Gregg. I normally just load up an iffy stream so I hadn’t looked at other options until 10 minutes ago :smiley:

Nicely directed story telling.

Have you watched Harder They Fall yet? It’s more than a little tongue in cheek hip hop western, but actually not bad. Borrows very heavily from Tarantino but very effectively.

In haven’t, will check it out. :+1:

Countryfile this evening is from Malvern. Any interest @J_B, @Ciderpig?

From the Radio Times review they’re going with the Malvern College / CS Lewis connection but skirting around the whole Aleister Crowley thing :laughing:

Hmm

As Danny Baker once remarked, Woodstock to the Sex Pistols was 7 years.
A remarkable change in music in that time

Danny Baker’s contention could be seriously condensed. This was released the same year as Woodstock (EDIT: The Stooges LP was released 10 days before Woodstock took place)

I still stand by Help–> Revolver being a bigger shift (In terms of experimentation / development we are talking 65-66 by 67 the genie was well out of the bottle for everyone)

To be honest I have seen so many interviews with American songwriters and bands say something along the lines of ‘… and then the Beatles came along and the whole world changed’ so I think I will concede the point.

Can’t think of many bands that changed so quickly over such a short space of time.
Infact can only think of talk talk who changed drastically from pop to laughing stock.

Amazing to think Coldplay have been going 3 times longer than the beatles with the same song :expressionless:

Amazing to think there’s been no assassination attempts in that time

I binge watched Band of Brothers on Sky Atlantic today and yesterday. Still on of the better scripted and shot WW2 series/films IMHO.

They did Cadover Bridge, the China Clay works & the airfield at Davidstow before heading down to Perranporth/Newquay. Weather looked awful, must’ve been last Summer!

He is the more annoying one but they’ve settled in nicely overall

They were at yelverton petrol station area I guess around Aug/Sept.

Someone said they were filming from yelverton to the prison. Seems they weren’t.
