Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (1979)
The masterpiece endures
Having just re-watched this series that I was riveted-to when it was first released (well, I believe I saw its first airing on CBC), I'm delighted to report that it seems not to have aged a day in 39 years. It's solid, masterful, and enduring.
The Fast Show (1994)
Hysterical -- Wish It Were Still On
From start to end, I've always found "The Fast Show" (known as "Brilliant," in America) hysterically funny. It's well written -- very grown up humor, here. Anyone who was hooked on SCTV will adore every moment! I can only hope that they'll produce another run of shows. 'Priceless.
Lost for Words (1999)
A brilliant, touching tale about an aging parent's last days.
I very highly recommend this tale of an aging parent's last days. This sweet, touching story accurately depicts a succession of strokes and partial recoveries -- complete with physical, emotional, and mental struggles that frustrate and frighten not only the elderly patient but her middle-aged son. The performances are brilliant and sincere. The staging and pace/editing perfect. You may want to keep a hankie nearby.
