This is one that many people have probably missed due to it`s very odd screening time of 9.30 pm on Saturday night on BBC1.
Waiting For The Out.
It`s truly outstanding and Josh Finnan in the lead is surely one of our brightest young acting talents( the smackhead Marco -The Responder / Gerry Adams - Say Nothing ).
A young idealistic Philosophy teacher, gets a job teaching Philosophy to bored inmates in a Cat B prison.
However his life is slowly being ruined by his crippling OCD and the baggage he`s carrying from his abusive father as a child.
The series follows him, as his life starts to slowly fall apart.
I really can`t over estimate how good this, both the writing, the cast and in particular the performance of Finnan, who reminds me very much of Jack O`Connell when he first emerged.
It`s just about to finish but you can get it on Iplayer.

Found it a frustrating watch. Started strong but then just didn't really go anywhere.
Clearly I'm in the minority as its got rave reviews everywhere.

Everything is subjective mate, which is why we all enjoy different things.
Josh Finnan is a big talent though.

Watched 'I Swear' last night...
'John Davidson: diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome at a young age which alienated him from his peers, he struggled with a condition few people had witnessed.
Brilliant acting by the grown up lead..

Personally I liked the ending and that it was open to interpretation. Feel the film was more about how close the world is to nuclear war at all times, rather than what actually happens.
I can see why it got quite a bit of stick though.

Caught up with the first two episodes of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms yesterday - the new Game of Thrones spin off.
Thought it was pretty good so far, and I like that it's more grounded and focused on one characters story, rather than epic CGI battles and dragons.
Duncan's accent though... it like an Irish/Bristol hybrid

I can't believe they have made a film about him. That documentary is sad but it's so funny when they all get together
their brains are comedy genius.
