First thing today was a version of Persuasion, the early Sunday matinée. Based on the Jane Austen novel, the perfect romantic drama of etiquette for a Sunday afternoon. And although I missed a lot of the middle - had to run yet another errand for my mother - I have to say that I found it very enjoyable. With plenty of close-ups, it's a marvellous character study, as two people obviously meant for each other keep managing to miss each other, what with the wide range of friends and relations that keep getting in the way. Misunderstandings play their part as well, of course, until we finally come to the ending, where our heroine has to dash from pillar to post through Bath, just to find the man who's looking for her anyway. Recommended - unless, of course, you really hate that sort of thing.
And so, back to The Fall, with some glee. Binge-watched it, and am now up to the end of Season 2. In Season 2, BTW, Sean McGinley plays the paedophilic priest that was in charge of one of the care homes that Jamie Dornan attended, growing up. Gives the police some evidence of this future killer's violent nature. And I am delighted to say that yes, as the net closes in around him, our interest continues to be piqued. Roll on Season 3.. assuming it's licensed here!
