NCIS: The Stories We Leave Behind (2024) Season 21, Episode 2

This was always going to be a difficult one to watch

[10/10 · 20 February 2024]

I've been a fan of David McCallum since Colditz, The Invisible Man and Sapphire And Steel so when I saw he was in this, it was compulsive viewing.

So 20 years later, still there, still viewing

It was well written and performed by all involved and many of the cast have admitted it was difficult.

I loved the wee touches....... the Mallard train was introduced and was on view

Wee things like this gave the personal touch to the series, giving the characters that extra dimension that quite often lacks

All in all, a fitting epitaph for a long term, and very well loved character We'll miss him He was the kind of person we'd love to know and work with

RIP David McCallum, brilliant in everything he ever did.

Star Cops (1987)

80s at its finest

[10/10 · 5 November 2021]

The biggest injustice was that there were only 9 episodes Great writing, great performances I won't hesitate to recommend this You won't be disappointed.

Doctor Who: Twice Upon a Time (2017) Season 11, Episode 0

Capaldi at his best

[10/10 · 11 April 2021]

...... Best of everything

He'll be fondly remembered as one of the best Doctors over the entire history of the series

Fantastic performance from him and his supporting cast.

Very highly recommended.

Sapphire & Steel (1979–1982)

Fantastic

[10/10 · 25 February 2021]

Good writing Great acting Spooky atmosphere Power of suggestion

This is TV at its best You don't seem to see much but suggestion works well here

The principals are well written and acted

I would highly recommend this

It's a Sin (2021)

Phenomenal

[10/10 · 29 January 2021]

This will go down as another flawless classic

Ticks every box for those of us who were around then A lesson in history for everyone else

Must be viewed And the music is superb

St. Elsewhere (1982–1988)

St. Brilliance

[10/10 · 20 December 2020]

Medical dramas have always been popular They've ranged from glossy to dire, creative and dull

St Elsewhere, to me, sits in the top 5% Great characters, great acting + performances and superb scripts all helped this to be the small screen legend that it ultimately became in the 80s

I can't recommend this highly enough This will be my treat for 2021

The Gifted (I) (2017–2019)

Brilliance

[9/10 · 18 July 2020]

Special powers and evolution has been around for decades. Its not nearly new and many have tried to get it right. Many successes include 60s Star Trek and 70s The Tomorrow People. Others have got it wrong.

With the theatrical release of the X-Men, the evolution of mankind is charted, and this by extension as part of that future, shows what they've got to tolerate

It's very well done and very well realised. It just didn't get the respect it needed by going on longer

For a brief, brilliant glimpse into the future......tune in You won't be disappointed

Convergence (2019)

Differently Brilliant

[9/10 · 13 November 2019]

I can't recommend this high enough The quality of the writing and acting are much better than many current offerings from Hollywood See around Glasgow, there are lots of cutaway flashes to the wider Scottish scenery

You won't be disappointed with this

The Terminator (1984)

Flawless

[10/10 · 28 October 2019]

This is a good mixture of genres Cameron is brilliant The cast are superb Fast paced and stops long enough to let you breathe

Groundbreaking film

Would love to see a directors cut

Robert the Bruce (2019)

Class

[10/10 · 4 July 2019]

Good film and very enjoyable Went in with an open mind and thoroughly enjoyed it Scottish history is full of people who need recognition The professional minionist nay sayers should get a life of their own

Titans (I) (2018–2023)

After a colleague mentioned it.......

[9/10 · 25 November 2018]

.......I went looking

It's very good, high production values and a good castt There are some wee niggles but I'm going to stick my neck out, but stick with it

I'm confident this will be a winner
