Tried McMafia - its watchable but not spectacular - 7/10
Philippa Gregory takes a lot of liberties with the truth. Love Middleham, big fan of Richard 111 and BBB trained there of course.
I won’t bore you with our full lockdown vowing as we've watched a film or 2 tv episodes as a family every night. They’ve all been pretty mainstream, but these are the three (all tv) highlights:
Peaky Blinders – can’t be many people on the planet who haven’t watched it yet, but we all loved it
Luther – great stories and Idris Elba is very believable
The Goldberg’s – US family comedy based in the 80’s. Great for us as something for everyone!
Just started a German language series called Dark on Netflix. Sort of like a mixture of It/Stranger Things. Very promising.

Dark is mentioned here
I think i'll try The Break
Just watched The History Boys again on BBC4, something that one never tires of - like the Kate Bush video of Sat In Your Lap. Or the dawn of a new day. Or the form of a young lady erupting into adulthood but not yet realising the power that she has over any man - and therefore not yet using it - all glorious.
I’ve just watched Secretariat for the first time and I’ve now found The Cup on amazon prime. Late night for me but a good one!!

Secretariat is a very watchable film.
Wealth of acting talent in that film. I saw it on stage with a lot of the same cast - think it worked better as a film. Very slight difference in the ending on the stage of what happened to the young male teacher though, and therefore the actual final scene, which I think was better in the stage version.
Also the basis, very loosely, for the comedy series Episodes, which was very, very funny.
Somebody feed Phil....Possibly the most likeable guy ever !
There is a behind the scenes doc on Aussie Cricket
If you like cricket, you'll enjoy

For John Wayne fans (like me) there's a Duke-fest on the Sony Movie channel (Freeview 40) today.
Six JW films in a row:
Flying Leathernecks
Tall in the Saddle
Shepherd of the Hills (brilliant wee film which Betty Field absolutely steals)
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
North to Alaska
The Undefeated
I'll give Shepherd of the hills a bash, haven't seen that one.
