gervase_fenFrom Time to Time - Julian Fellowes' adaptation of The Chimneys of Green Knowe, made with the care of somebody who fell in love with the Lucy Boston books as a child. There's an easter egg or two for aficianados of the books (Sheena explained to me the significance of one of the statues in the garden) and the ending is surprisingly bittersweet. Lovely to see Athelhampton House and its gardens being used as effectively as they were in The Seeds of Doom over thirty years ago.
The Killing / Forbrydelsen as good as the hype surrounding it suggested it would be - this was stacked up on the planner for a few weeks so we could devour it, double-bill by double-bill. We both loved the performances, the red herrings, the realpoltik of Copenhagen's municipal government, and the deep bench of sinister Danish actors. And the jumpers, of course. Accept no (Seattle based) substitutes!
