On Topical Posting

Well topical in one respect anyway.

To start - Something interesting from the giant that is Paxman.

All this and much Poliakoff as well. My DG - with all this drama you are really spoiling us. Joe's Palace was as good as TV drama can possibly get - rich, inventive, unpredictable, rooted in the real world and yet with a spiritual depth, all conveyed in simple dialogue and perfectly-framed camera work. On saturday there is a pivotal monologue (dialogue with both parts read by one actress - Ruth Wilson) which appears to be the link between Joe's Palace and the next Poliakoff piece - Capturing Mary.
