Free to read now, my review of The Swan: Behind the Mirror on Disney/Hulu. America’s cruelest reality show came out in 2004, but how much has reality tv really changed since then?

The ‘managed decline’ continues… and yet if you attended the Edinburgh TV festival you’d be forgiven for thinking UK TV was in rude health… it astounds me that the leaders of the industry are so accepting of this disaster without seeking proactive creative ways forwards. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤬

Not to blow my own trumpet, but I’ve just listened back to the edit of the climactic 2-part Star Wars episode of this series - out next week - and it’s something I’m so proud of. Hard to find something new to say, and I think this is good stuff. Big theories on why Star Wars and story works…

www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m... Feeling very nostalgic after a listen to this. There’s no revisionism here about the production team’s mission to make an overtly political drama about the struggle of the NHS under Thatcher. Hugely rewarding (but long) days in TC6.

At least two moments during last night’s watching of Furious made me punch the air at the quality of the writing. It’s not a police procedural; it’s a series of two-handers where characters surprise and delight you in combination. Every relationship is rinsed completely for truth. A masterclass.

Sometimes I say that Penda’s Fen is my favourite piece of art in any medium. That seems slightly ridiculous, but I think it still might be. First repeat since 1975, apparently. Worth checking out if you haven’t seen it. And be prepared to watch it a few times to allow it to start revealing itself.
