Went for a Minder double bill tonight, with Scotch Harry doing the bizzo and Anthony Valentine getting dealt some dodgy hands. Leon Griffiths at his best.
This has some brilliant, considered and incisive commentary on RTD2. Talk about timing!
I fell in love with all of Hamish Macbeth’s world from the very first episode, but most especially because of this visual joke.

Last year I published a book on the BBC’s cult cop show, Hamish Macbeth - I spoke to the Press & Journal recently about why it’s a series worth remembering. They also found some photos I’d not seen before.

Quite enjoyed Jonathan Mahler’s The Gods of New York, a look at the late 80s in NYC as Mayor Koch seems to stumble from one mess to the next, while Trump poisons everything he touches and Giuliani rises through the ranks.
What a shambles. Can’t wait to read the book about the making of RTD2 in 20 years.
