I really enjoyed ITV's drama 'Cleaning Up' starring Sheridan Smith - splendid entertainment with a serious side.

This morning it was mentioned that Sheridan Smith had only learned how to make a bed at the age of 25. Without making any blanket assertions, I think duvets were around, 12 years ago...Originally posted by Stanfordian View PostComment

Sheridan's Smith's character was an awful cleaner. I wouldn't want her cleaning Stanford Towers.
Duvets, surely only in London!

.... Try getting the duvet right with a Cat still on it.....and if like me you tend to layer up the duvet(s) in Winter, you're pulling the Cat around with the duvet (s), with the human trying to keep warm under them and.... still it's a good excuse to go downstairs for a hot choccie....and the legendary Symphony at Dawn....Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View Post
So when you finally go back to bed, the Cat is too sleepy to object to your own heat-seeking manoeuvres...Last edited by jayne lee wilson; 11-01-19, 20:36.Comment

- the chambermaids hung them out over the balcony railings in the morning to air.

I, too, really enjoyed it. It has been criticised for factual inaccuracies relating to financial trading practice, but it IS entertainment, not a factual documentary or a hard-hitting Roger Cook-like expose. Sheridan Smith excels in every part she plays.Originally posted by Stanfordian View PostComment

I remember the first time I saw her - must be about 18 years ago in a TV drama in which she was being forced into prostitution and kept imprisoned by a gang leader. She would have been about 20 then.Originally posted by LMcD View PostComment

True Detective 3.....
Nothing else quite like it is there.... ? The extraordinary trail Wayne follows, to the discovery of the boy, with all kinds of filmic resonances (e.g. Blair Witch...)...so many telling details of word and image.....Mahershala Ali....hypnotic presence... story-within-story referencing its own tradition in True-D-1....
Music, direction, writing, compulsive-viewing rating .....5
plus...
And I'll watch ep 1 again before I watch ep 2..(but there's the TV Drama Series of Newsnight to attend to first...) ......not many series are worth that time and attention....Comment

Would another referendum do you ? a new vote offering Remain/Mays Deal seems the logical choice to me.Originally posted by jayne lee wilson View PostTrue Detective 3.....

Wondered last night, not for the first time, why the hell I was watching this. Beyond grim.Originally posted by jayne lee wilson View PostComment

It's worth watching for Javert alone...and I hope we haven't seen the last of Olivia Colman, but fear that we have!Originally posted by Richard Tarleton View PostComment
