Ha! Murphy's Law! Was that intentional?

I'm so used to people in Glasgow having Italian sounding surnames that it doesn't register with me, which is why I wasn't sure if it was meant to be a thing over in Belfast in this context.
Her part in Series 2 was one of the better parts, I thought, and didn't disappoint as much as some of the rest of it. If the show…

And yet … how many times in recent years has Cox turned up in crappy films playing a variation of the same part. At least Hopkins got typecast BIG.
What a pleasure it was to see Cox playing the part of Bob Servant on BBC Scotland recently, with what I assume is much closer to his actual speaking voice, and not one of…

Got to be, I think. The only other one that springs to mind is Bible John, but they never caught him, did they?

Just wondering (cause I can't remember): did they actually make a point of the babysitter being Italian, or is that just an assumption because of her surname? Maybe it was important and I missed it.

I saw this on the ferry from Hull to Zeebrugge (?) while travelling by bus from the UK to Barcelona back in the early 90s. It was a wonderful surprise, as I had no idea that such a film was being made, and it was one of the most memorable film watching experiences I've ever had. The use of Dougie MacLean's song was…

A better actor than Orlando Bloom in the starring role and it would've been even better. The actor who played Saladin was excellent, and more than held his own against the rest of the cast.

The picture at the top of the page reminds me of the scene with the equivalent characters at the end of Broadchurch, which happened as the lighting of the bonfires was going on behind them. If it is the same and it's still daylight, maybe they have dropped the bonfires.
Also, if it is the same scene, does she look like…

Something I noticed in the advert for next week's episode:
In Broadchurch after the killer's revealed, Olivia Colman/Ellie stands outside Beth's house, and when Beth sees her she goes outside without closing the curtains to confront her over how she didn't know. But in next week's ad for Gracepoint, there's a quick…

" … not your average Dickens adaptation."

It's an unusual scene that one, the way the circus parade builds up behind them and then gradually moves away, leaving them alone on the street.
And there's a wonderful moment in the scene immediately after in the card room, when Wentworth comes in and asks for Anne's hand and you see her standing there in amongst all…

Not a happy ending, admittedly.

That scene of Kate Winslet giving birth in the film fair put me off my dinner.

Unfortunately, Jeremy Brett's version of Hound Of The Baskervilles came after his health was beginning to fail. Still good, but I'd have loved to have seen it made at the time of the first series when he was at his peak in the role, and with David Burke as Watson.

I grew up watching his films on British TV, so his is the one that I like, too, although the film itself hasn't aged particularly well. As a child, I always found him a bit menacing, even when he was in a comedy. The thought of his Miss Fritton with George Cole's Flash Harry cracks me up every time.

Absolutely. Again, the cast is perfection right through, with Corin Redgrave and Phoebe Nicholls as Anne's father and sister outstanding. Compared to some other recent adaptations, this one is so subtle, and rewards repeat viewings.

I thought Daniela Denby-Ashe and Richard Armitage had great chemistry together as Margaret and John. I sat down to watch because there was nothing good on the other channels, and found myself hooked. The other parts are all well cast, too.

Tactfully put, indeed. They should remake Happy Valley next; that one at least already had a blonde lead actress in the original British version.
