Congratulations C4! Last night they truly showed the Beeb (I won’t even mention ITV…) how to do amazing drama.Longford was the best thing I’ve seen for ages. Jim Broadbent was, as per usual, excellent, but I thought Andy Serkis’s chilling, dead-eyed performance as Brady really stood out. Morton could perhaps have been a little less withdrawn as Hindley, as you couldn’t really see why Lord Longford originally was so drawn to her, in a way. The drama steered clear of the usual ‘Moors Murder’ hysteria and looked at the humanity of Longford and legal points. Shame the same could not be said for the hugely irritating Best and Worse Places to Live in the UK 2006. Someone should gag Sophie Allsop. Now. Phil thingy is always annoying, but Sophie managed to trump even him and her horrific sister. Made the programme almost unbearable to watch! Oh well, off to declare my marriage in a bit. Sell out that I am… |
