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

Quite so - but having it loud helps you at least work out what they're saying, even if you have no clue what it means.


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

    • Signed, and I will share it elsewhere, thank you for posting this.
    • There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559
    • I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
    • Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
