The Crouches (2003)
I love this show
Full of humour without a chip on its shoulder, a few stereotypes but great fun. Rudolph Walker and Don Warrington are hysterical, some of the plots are a bit corny but its a fun sitcom and not meant to be taken seriously. I watched it on the box about the same time I started working for the Underground and 3 of the main characters work there. I bought the DVDs a couple of years back. A couple of now well-known faces like Danny John-Jules, Jimmy Akingbola and Mona Hammond. I have to say, despite another reviewer's bad write-up, I really enjoyed it. Robbie Gee is the cheeky chappie everybody loves although they don't show it! Give it a go!
Faces in the Dark (1960)
Great ending
Actually felt the frustration of John Gregson's character and didn't have an idea of the end until the last 10 minutes and still it surprised. A lot of "darlings" and "proper" English, being that age, and meaningful looks between the characters. Being in black & white only adds to the "depressed" feeling that nobody can help the main character and his attempts to help himself are excruciating. It's difficult to write 10 lines without containing a spoiler, so I might waffle a bit, but the characters played by Mai Zatterling and dear old Michael Denison are despicable. I'm surprised I've never seen this film before and will probably watch it again in the future. If it were in French with subtitles it would probably be labelled a masterpiece!
