The Iron Lady (2011)
I loved it - excellent performance by Meryl Streep
Now I am a great fan of Thatcher, perhaps because I was a soldier in the early eighties and then a police officer afterwards or simply that she was such an inspirational lady. This film was great, yes it focuses on Thatcher as lonely old lady suffering with Alzheimer's but that's true life is it not? Streep is fantastic, she has Thatcher down to a tee and Broadbent plays Dennis wonderfully, there should definitely be some awards looming. I would have liked to have seen a little more on her rise to Prime Minister and perhaps a bit more coverage on the famous ups and downs of her time in office, but it didn't spoil it for me. She will always be my heroine. Go and see it, its well worth it.
Gavin & Stacey (2007)
Still the funniest thing on TV
I cannot understand the previous comments either. This is one of the funniest 'feel nice' programmes I have ever seen. Perhaps it will only appeal to the British humour, but I doubt it. Ruth Jones is simply the best or in her own words 'Tidy'. The writing by Jones and Corden is ingenious and appeals to all age groups, the well deserved their awards. I watched the first series whilst it was showing for the first time, I watched it again during the BBC3 Gavin and Stacey evening, and even bought the DVD. (Something which I don't usually do) The second series is now being shown on BBC3 and it is just as good as the first. Lets hope there are more to come. If the BBC keep coming up with programmes like this then I will never moan about paying my TV licence again!
