    Tried McMafia - its watchable but not spectacular - 7/10
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Philippa Gregory takes a lot of liberties with the truth. Love Middleham, big fan of Richard 111 and BBB trained there of course.

    I know; but the books are very readable. The years when I devoured books by Tolstoy and Orwell etc are long since gone....!

    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!

    If you haven't tried Sharon Penman...try Sharon Penman. Also the Shardlake books by C J Sansom.

    I’ve just watched this tonight - and yes, some of the accents leave a lot to be desired

    Fantastic drama though.

    Just started a German language series called Dark on Netflix. Sort of like a mixture of It/Stranger Things. Very promising.

    Remarkably enough, I also watched the first two episodes last night. Seems promising so far.

    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.

    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.

    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
