Romeo & Duet (2022)
Typical Saturday Night ITV Fare
In the old days Saturday night ITV's, ahem, 'entertainment' (sic) was 'Gladiators', 'Blind Date' and then some random quiz game with either Leslie Crowther, Bob Monkhouse, or Bruce Forsythe!!! Even at the time, it appeared that that offering was pretty poor!!! But compared to 'Romeo and Duet' those Saturday evenings appear to be the golden age of television!!! Enough said...
The Madame Blanc Mysteries (2021)
A Bit Of a Mish Mash - But Enjoyable Nonetheless
Where to begin?!? It's as if Sally Lindsay has taken Midsomer Murders, Rosemary and Thyme, 'Allo 'Allo, Lovejoy and A Year in Provence, thrown them into a blender, given them a damn good 'zizzz', and then poured out the script for Madame Blanc!!! The resolution of the first episode was 'swift' to say the least and wouldn't have strained the talents of Insp Clouseau, never mind Sherlock Holmes!! Oh yes, Clouseau...there's another who was popped in the blender!!! Line of Duty it ain't, but it's enjoyable enough for a Saturday night with a glass (or two) of Sauvignon Blanc!!! 'Chewing gum for the eyes' as my old Boss would put it!!!
