The return of good TV
Just finished watching the final episode of The Long Firm, fantastic. I loved the book, but it actually improved on TV thanks to Mark Strong (revealed in Word as being a big fan of Eno and Byrne’s My Life In the Bush of Ghosts…something we can talk about later).
And the final tune as our hero sails into the sunset? The Jam’s Thick As Thieves. Perfect.
And, The West Wing’s back (yes, the plots are getting sillier and sillier, but it’s still the best thing on telly). Oh, and the Sopranos and Six Feet Under both start on E4 next week. And, did I see trailers for a new series of the truly deviant Nip/ Tuck? And isn’t The OC back soon? Haven’t we suffered enough Big Brother?
