good telly

oh what a mad day it's been...

played with G down in camden... jazz/funk... a few hours... nice to gig, gave the hammond organ a good environment to shine in...

then up to tufnell park for my regular sunday night rehearsal... now i'm home...

(obviously)

a little lightheaded...

so telly...

3 things, the 1st of which was a rerun last weekend which i caught on catchup...

the devil's whore...

english civil war... very good tv... the main guy from the wire plays oliver cromwell.. a whole heap of great british actors... that ginger haired man who's in green wing is excellent as honest john lilburn...

the main woman is fantastic i think... good story, characters... just all round good...

now take that ginger haired man... place him in a modern day police drama... and you have the 2nd of my 3 great tv things...

moses jones... written by joe penhal... BBC thing, looking at the african community in london... dramatising the plight of refugees... partly set around borough, the same cab office that was filmed for dirty pretty things...

only 2 episodes in but it's good so far... it's british so it could always fall on it's arse but i'm liking it...

and finally american, not made by HBO but still marvellous:

madmen...

one episode into the 2nd season as we are over in england...

fantastic... no other words, just very glad it's there...

so... not much analysis but there you have my 3 great tv things...
