- Comment on [Kind of weekly thread] What have you been watching? 10 months ago:
At the Cinema Sweet Sue (2023) - by Leo Leigh (Mike Leigh’s son) - a low key dramedy which walked the line between grotesque and sympathetic characters very well.
TV - The Sandbaggers from 1978. Cold war UK spy drama series focussed on the internal politics and strategising of MI6’s Special Operations Unit. A sharp and Intelligent script is the backbone for this one, overcoming the low budget.
TV - True Detective - just the first episode so far. I have not seen any of these other than S1. This is not as intense as the start of that, but is intriguing enough to continue.

Film highlight - Talk Radio (1988) - which I had not seen before. Outstanding first scene - both for the cinematography of what was shown and in holding off from showing the protagonist for so long. And then a great, absorbing and intense continuation through the rest of the film. Bogosian both starred and co-wrote the original play and this script - doing all those extremely well.
TV highlight - Criminal Record - Capaldi at his most sinister and some fine direction take this one up a few ranks. So far I am not entirely convinced by Jumbo’s relationship with Moore, but will definitely be continuing.

- Comment on Housebuilders in England may be made to look after trees they plant 11 months ago:
The article goes on to talk about research into suitable species for various climates and soil types etc.
Well, I am sure that we can always learn more, but arboriculturists and foresters have been doing this literally for centuries. There are very well known species lists precisely for this kind of work, and if we are talking about native species, particularly, then anyone who has been working in these fields will know them off the top of their heads. It us not exactly difficult or cutting edge.
