The Young Visiters (2003)
"The Young Visitors" (not Visiters, as wrongly written on IMDB) is one of the best TV dramas for those of all ages
One of my favourite TV dramas for all ages. How often do you get so many actors of this calibre in one drama? Not often. The writing and acting is glorious. One of those images that sticks in my mind is Simon Russell Beale who plays The Prince of Whales (not Wales) as he sits there with his small Christmas party crown perched on his head. But this drama also says a lot about society, whilst also being gloriously funny. I hope the BBC decide to repeat it this Christmas as I don't think it is available on DVD or to stream. Of course, I'm OK because I recorded it when it was on the telly and have kept it on DVD. Glad I did. Shame that IMDB can't spell Visitor though.
The Roads to Freedom (1970)
One of the best TV dramas of all time
One of the best TV dramas of all time. I was so glad when the BBC repeated it about a year ago after such a long break. I obviously recorded it and placed it safely on DVD. Brilliant acting, direction and script of the three novels. It proves that quality doesn't have to have a multimillion budget. But this is why the BBC is so precious and why I am so glad to be British. Heaven forbid that we have TV run by advertising executives as it is in the USA. The BBC is needed now more than ever in the new digital age. Lord Reith gave us all something very precious in the British Broadcasting Corporation.
44 Inch Chest (2009)
Wonderful
Superbly acted and written. A lovely mix of tragedy and humour. One of those films that sticks in the mind.
Summer of Rockets (2019)
Possibly the most beautifully filmed TV drama so fat this century
Beautifully written, filmed, set and acted. This is a masterpiece. No, it is not a typical spy thriller and don't judge it by those standards. Just bathe in the images and words that make this one of the great TV productions of the 21st century.
