So....it's January, it's cold and damp and miserable and the world is now so awful we're all staying in. But help is at hand because Broadchurch is back (ITV 9pm Monday). Just when I'd gotten over getting over the demise of 'Missing'...... although marvellously distressing to watch, frankly the ending was wanting....... Olivia I-love-her Colman has returned and not only has she brought all our old favourites back with her, but Charlotte Rampling too!!
The face of Nars, the love interest in 'The Night Porter', Charlotte-bloody-Rampling, so sexy her name has become a verb..... and now we can all rample, prime time on Monday nights.....
Top tip: don't give up anything in January, especially not alcohol with all those Christmas drinks left over.... the sloe vodka maybe done but with only February to look forward to it's now all about that bottle of essential brandy that didn't make the pudding!!
I have an unexplained loathing for David Tennant, I can't watch it! Loved The Missing though, glad it wasn't the end.
ReplyDeleteI'll be watching Silent Witness. xxx
I like the idea of famous people's names becoming verbs or nouns. It makes me think of 'A nice pair of Dimmocks', attributed of course to Charlie Dimmock.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteCharlotte Rampling is a favourite with us. Indeed, every so often we look again at the Night Porter and nearly scare ourselves witless. That is, what we can see as the film is so dark....literally!
Alcohol is definitely not just for Christmas. Indeed, the gloomy days and nights of January need it! Cheers!
Wishing you joy, peace and prosperity for 2015.
I don't understand how people can give up alcohol in January, so many bottles to finish and it's cold and dark too. ;)
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed everything that Charlotte Rampling's been in so I was very pleased when she popped up in this series of Broadchurch. It's nice to see her speaking in her native tongue after all the french films I've seen her in over the years.

Loving series 2 of Broadchurch, it's filling the gap of my Nordic noir very nicely
ReplyDeleteI came down to your neck of the woods between Christmas and the New Year - had a great time xx
ReplyDeleteOh that's great. I have always wanted to be rample-esque.
ReplyDeleteHappy to see you back!! Totally agree about not giving up alcohol for January, where's the fun in that?
ReplyDeleteThat is a great tip! Happy New Year, dear xoxo
ReplyDeleteLoving the new series, dont think it's as good as the first though

She's a scene-stealer, all right. Ever see Farewell My Lovely? (Loved your story over at Ken's place.)
ReplyDeleteYup, serious TV watching is in order these days!
ReplyDeleteExactly, who are these fools that give up stuff in dark miserable January? It's crazy, we need all the help we can get to get through his month!
ReplyDeleteWish you a happy, creative, sparkling new year and thank you for visiting my blog.

Enjoy the sloe vodka, with a few jazzies thrown in for good measure!
ReplyDeleteWe didn't watch BC, not sure why. We are taping this new one though.
