British TV at its best. With a small number of episodes (only 8) and yet an intricate plot to unfold, the action flows along at quite a pace.
David Tennant plays the grumpy detective well, ably backed up by Olivia Colman.
Episode by episode each of the main characters are touted as a main suspect for the murder of young Danny Latimer and all eventually discounted (though you never really stop believing they could have done it!).
The conclusion was something of a shock and made you question everything you had seen in the previous episodes.

2018 | Horror, Thriller
Dean Devlin's second crack at directing a movie (after the uproarious Geostorm) is probably marginally better but not as much fun. Car valet discovers one of his marks keeps a woman chained up in his office - what should he do? If he calls the cops, how will he explain his presence there? Interesting premise doesn't really go anywhere, though, and the battle of wits between hapless hero and weirdly omni-competent psycho is mainly expressed through people looking at their smartphones.

There's very little that's actually bad about this movie, and David Tennant is as capable as the villain as you'd expect (this role really demands a full 30% of his talent), but it rapidly turns into pretty formulaic stuff, often quite laboriously handled. Passes the time as background noise while you're doing something else fairly painlessly. It'd be great to live in a world where Tennant has the kind of film career he deserves, but I guess we'll just have to make the most of this one instead.

Just finished watching again probably one of my favourite new who episodes and the perfect way to celebrate its birthday. Still going strong after 56 years hard to believe it's the longest running sci fi show in the world. Anyway back to the episode what can I say about it besides probably the best who casting of all time in John Hurt as the war doctor no one else could have played him quite like he does. the rest of cast are just as good and too bring the zygons as well brilliant but no loch Ness monster shame

Around the world in 80 days.

One of Jules Vernes most famous novels, and the inspiration for many a movie (and even a 80s cartoon).

I've never seen or heard of a TV series until this one, which - in retrospect - actually surprised me quite a bit, as you think the story would (and does) lend itself perfectly to the episodic nature of the journey.

This adaptation stars David Tennant in the lead role, alongside strong support from Ibrahim Koma as the French valet Passepartout and Leonie Benesch as the gender flipped/reimagined journalist Abigail Fix (instead of Inspector Fix), while still keeping its late Victorian setting.

Yes, you know how it is going to end.

Still very enjoyable!

It's hard to believe that BBCs Doctor Who is now 60 (as of 2023).

Yes, you read that right: 60.

Albeit with a hiatus in the 1980s/1990s, until it's triumphant return in 2005.

And it's that later incarnation that is the main lead in this graphic novel, with perhaps-the-most-popular-modern-incarnation (Dr #10, David Tennant, soon also to be Dr #14) taking the lead here alongside his just-after-Rose-Tyler companion Martha. This is then a whistle-stop tour of the Doctor's various enemies, with the story itself being told as a story within a story by Martha to a group of alien monsters who feed off the pyschic energy released by storytellers.
