Double Deal

Yesterday I sat down and watched last night's episode of The Job Lot and then after that watched last night's episode of a new BBC comedy called Together and got a double-dose of Nick Mohammed. So between 10:30 pm and 11 pm last night this guy is on both BBC Three in Together and on ITV 2 in The Job Lot.  I wonder how often something like that happens?

I remember a couple years ago, in early April, Nicola Walker was starring in three different shows which were airing over two consecutive nights or something. (Scott & Bailey, Prisoners Wives and Heading Out) but they weren't on at the exact same time.

(Ironically, at the moment she is starring in both the BBC Tuesday night crime drama River and the ITV Thursday night drama Unforgotten.....but then she gets a lot of work anyway.)

Beck

Swedish crime drama Beck has aired 30 feature-length (90 to 100 minutes) stories over the past 18 years.

Pigalle la Nuit

Pigalle la Nuit is a French thriller drama from 2009. If you watched the recent Witnesses (Les Témoins), Catherine Mouchet is also in this one. I'll put this link in here and hopefully it will open in English and not French for you. If not, these pages usually have a translation option on the right side of the IP address window of your browser. 

Pigalle la nuit

If not, here's something else:
"Frenchman Thomas (Jalil Lespert) based in London comes to Paris to secure a deal for his company. In the nightclub "Folies Pigalle", on stage he recognises his sister, as he tries to speak to her, she goes missing. Here is the simple start of this excellent captivating French series. I simply didn't think it could be this good. The story makes perfect use of Pigalle, the Parisien "hot quarter". The story quickly becomes about revenge, territory, redemption. This really is edge of your seat drama."

This Is England '90

The drama This Is England returned once again, reportedly for the last time. This series takes place in 1990. These are nice big files....very good quality, especially if you already have This Is England '83, '86 and '88. 

This Is England '90

Also available is the entire thing in smaller resolution and much lower bitrate files all squeezed onto a single disc.

An Klondike + Résistance

Couple of new drama's.

An Klondike
Colin in New Zealand provided us with the first NZ western awhile back (Good For Nothing on Smorg 90). Now we have an Irish western, only this one isn't cowboys and whoopee-tai-yi-yo. It takes place in the 1890's in the mining camps of Montana and Yukon. A lot of the dialogue is in English, but many of the Irish speak Irish among themselves......as they actually would have. This has received positive reviews. My only nitpick is they are the cleanest looking miners and prospectors living in the wilderness I've ever seen. They must have had a great laundry service back then.

Résistance is a French big-budget mini-series from last year. Well done.....I don't think I can ever watch 'Allo 'Allo! again without feeling a little guilty when laughing. I was trying to find a review to share, but can't find one.
