    Lat night's "Life Story: A Horizon Special" was a real treat; with an all-star cast - Juliet Stevenson, Tim Pigott-Smith, Alan Howard & Jeff Goldblum...
    Brenda Maddox's "Rosalind Franklin:The Dark Lady of DNA" is an interesting read, as is James Watson's "The Double Helix".

    Film telling the story of the race to discover the structure of DNA. Watson and Crick have the bright ideas and the will to win. But there's one little problem: Rosalind Franklin has the crucial data.

      My wife talked me into the 3rd episode of Black Doves yesterday. I told her I refuse to continue. Each episode of more vapid than its predecessor. It is fascinating to wonder just how bad something can get

I’ve just finished watching it - when Alison Janney (formerly of West Wing) turns up as the US VP, she hoists the series up yet another notch. Her scenes with the two leads are among the best I’ve seen in recent years (the script seems to have risen to greet her, too)
        I've just started the first series and am very impressed. I noticed that a certain Jonathan Powell was among the consultants named in the credits.
