| Of quiet, brutal comedy and John Cusack | January 10, 2014 | When I first started this blog I used to write about television regularly. Here’s a throwback to the olden days. Something I have had time to do since leaving work is catch up on my film and TV viewing. Or maybe I’ve just felt like I’ve had time to do this as my mind has […] |
| Thoughts on Mrs Carey’s Concert | September 23, 2011 | On Monday evening I sat down to watch Mrs Carey’s Concert, the documentary by Bob Connolly and Sophie Raymond. It followed the “trials and tribulations’ of Mrs Carey – music teacher at a Sydney girls’ school – over two years as she prepared her school’s musicians for a concert at the Opera House. Yes, that’s […] |
| I’m a Judith Lucy fan | July 30, 2011 | I haven’t written much about television for a while. That’s not because I haven’t been watching TV. It’s just that nothing much has been very interesting.
