I didn't realise this was the last series until I read that in the Sunday Times this week. I had thought the previous series was going to be the last but then I saw the "new" one and assumed we had several weeks of it. No such luck - just three episodes!

Why do all good things have to come to an end? I'll just have to watch my DVD's again to get my fix.

I missed the first few series (I didn't start watching them until after I came back in 2006) so I guess I could get the box set (Series 1-7 can be had for £45) and go back to the beginning. That's a lot of binge-watching!

I think they are still on Netflix, if you have access to that. Either way, "quality" binge-watching is good for you, especially on a dreich weekend.

BBC2 have a film on tonight about the televising of the trial of Adolf Eichmann starring Martin Freeman as the producer.

Looks interesting.

Well despite Broadchurch 2 being panned in the press because of inconsistencies and inaccuracies I am still enjoying it. Also enjoying Silent Witness, Foyles War and Last Tango in Halifax. Mr Selfridge back next week too.

Unfairly so I reckon.

There was one major justifiable criticism (presence of jury for legal argument) but all the others are just nitpicking and explainable by appreciating that proper procedures are not always followed to the letter or by imagining alternative explanation.

The one that's really irritating me is this idea that the family chose
Spoiler:
the prosecuting barrister.


They did not.

Spoiler:
They tried to persuade her and failed. She changed her mind when she discovered who was representing the defendant.

For all we know, and given she had a good reputation, she might already have been the official first choice anyway, but turned it down. CPS or whoever makes the decisions may hav gladly accepted her change of mind.

Alternatively, maybe she was owed a favour somewhere along the way. I'm sure such things influence court appointments just as they do elsewhere. It may not be admitted to as the norm.


Interestingly Spiral was held up as an example of reality by those critical of BC2 but in that show the judges and lawyers are all having secret meetings, telling each other stuff off the record and many of the officials got where they are on favours.

Last weekend a lawyer even 'stole' another lawyer's case using deception to get it.

OH is finally caught up on series 1 of Broadchurch, so we will begin series 2 tomorrow. I had only seen the first two episodes so number 3 will be new for us both. If I can bring film up on this TV thread, tonight we are going to see The Imitation Game. Very excited about it.
