by Jo Willett on May 22, 2015 in Drama, Food, History, Music, Theatre, Travel with No Comments

What we like right now…critical heart surgery, kebabs and Vince Cable

by Jo Willett on March 01, 2015 in Drama, Food, Travel with No Comments

Jed Mercurio’s heart-stopping (or rather heart-starting) drama CRITICAL.  Several scenes watched from behind the sofa, but great cast and dialogue.

What we like right now…Turner, Tierra and tv

by Jo Willett on November 30, 2014 in Drama, Film, Food, Television with No Comments

Mr Turner (despite seeing it with subtitles: “Obscure muttering (in Dutch)”).  Tim Spall surely an Oscar contender?

Mr Turner at Royal Academy

Tierra Peru in Essex Road.  Delicious Ceviche with tiger’s milk and crunch corn kernels.

The Missing – harrowing for all parents but compulsive viewing with superb performances.
