I got the impression Despatches were trying to balance the books after the hatchet job they did on Ken. It was all rehashes of press releases put out by the Labour, Lib Dem and Green parties on the London Assembly. Hardly indepth political journalism.
five minutes in heaven - shows on bbc2 sunday night 2100hrs. its a drama, set in my home town of lurgan and based on real events regarding the shooting of a young catholic by loyalists. stars liam neeson and east dulwich,s favourite thesp james nesbitt. it has won several awards and should be worth looking out for.
Ladygooner, whenever I watch the Wire I have to turn the sound right up - there have been a couple of scenes that I understood not one word of, even on thrice repeating - but believe me it gets really good, it does, it gets sooooo good. Give it one more try - with the sound turned up REALLY LOUD

Ahhhhhh, the Wire...

From season one, probably already shown on BBC


ok, the language is slang-heavy, but this scene where some drug-dealers discussing their problems, switches to an analogy with chess is just brilliant - times x 10 when you follow the different arcs of the 3 characters in subsequent episdodes

There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
