Dangerous Davies: The Last Detective (1981)
What an excellent film
What an excellent film. Good casting and a great performance by Bernard Cribbins - although he has a constitution of an ox to survive three attacks with a baseball bat. He wears bandages very well.
It is a story which moves with just about the right kind of pace - not rushed with developments at regular intervals.
Different from the latter series with Peter Davidson but with the same elements I think - good sporting cast, thoughtful main character and a gentle pace - and fans of the series will be familiar with the storyline.
I was hooked very quickly.

Man Stroke Woman (2005)
1st series - funny
I thought this programme was a breath of fresh air. Yes some of it is variable - what sketch show isn't but I think the four main actors are just great together. Some of the sketches are down right silly. Others excellent observation - taken just that little bit (well quite a lot sometimes)further. Many are ensemble pieces often with all four and there are some really good running jokes "you can't just say I look nice", the guy thats always crying, the "posh" cosmetics assistants and particularly this evening I thought the three on the sofa discussing their horrible "perfect" boyfriends excellent stuff.
Try not to compare it other shows and where the actors may have come from. Look at it for what it is - a bit of a laugh at men and women together.
If you get the chance watch it. I think it works. I don't think you will be disappointed.
