Weekend telly
Jun. 5th, 2018 08:44 pmI blame forced restarts for Windows updates for not being able to post until now.
Over the weekend, I saw ‘There’s Nothing Like a Dame’ – I hadn’t bothered going to see it in the cinema, because I knew it was coming to TV. It basically collects together four dames: Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Eileen Atkins and Joan Plowright, who all know each other from way back and prompts them to talk. I laughed, especially at Maggie Smith’s admission that she hasn’t watched Downton Abbey. There were clips and photos of their body of work – young Eileen Atkins reminded me of Andrea Riseborough. I think it might have been a better documentary if it had been filmed over a longer period of time, but in shorter blocks – it was all filmed in one day, and you could tell that they were getting tired and irritable towards the end.
