Thicker than Water

Yet another Swedish drama to entertain us on Thursday night TV.

10 pm More4 - Thicker than Water 

Tonight will be the second episode and we hope it will be as good as number one.

Mother, the owner of a failing and shabby guest house, commits suicide and through the terms off her Will attempts to control and reconcile her three children.

Ten episodes in all so one assumes that the story will develop nicely over the coming weeks.

Try it out .....

The Returned

BBC4 have been showing foreign language films to great success and now is the time for Channel 4 to participate.

Sunday night sees the series The Returned - in French with subtitles.

Very good - this is going to be a good night time watch. Episode 2 was shown last night.

Years after a coach crashes killing the passengers some of them start to return - apparently in good health - not zombies !!! Lots of interesting situations start to evolve !!!

The storyline is going to develop quite nicely over the next few weeks.

Watch and enjoy.

The White Queen

A new epic blockbuster started last night on BBC1 - The White Queen.

The story set during the War of the Roses concerns the lives of three very strong, scheming and powerful women - Elizabeth Woodville, Anne Neville and Margaret Beaufort.

This first episode was very enjoyable to watch but one does need some historical knowledge of the times as this is going to be one very complicated story.

An article in the Radio Times gives a detailed description of the women and the times in which the story is set.

Based on a best selling novel by Philippa Gregory.

Well done BBC.
