Lucy Punch in Hot Fuzz (2007).

Lucy Punch is such a good comedy actress. Like Rik Mayall, she's good-looking but pulls ridiculous faces all the time for the comedy value. I wish Motherland was a better show because then I could watch her for hours. Her episodes of Vexed are amazing by the way. That's what I recommend.

"When I first read it I knew it was a good script, but it was completely indecipherable to me. But I thought ‘they’ve commissioned this so there must be something there that I can’t see!’ and as I continued to read, it felt almost like a confectionary shop window that just ineluctably pulls you in."

Starts: Sunday 24 March, 9pm ITV

So of course I’ve been watching “Funny Woman” after PBS picked it up (thanks PBS, the check is in the mail 🤣).

It’s fantastic. Gemma Arterton has left an impression on me that wasn’t there before.

She is fully this character and I’m having a hard time remembering her in other roles she’s done; not because she’s forgettable in other roles but because she’s so fully melted into “Barbara/Sophie Straw” that it’s hard to see her outside of it and know it’s the same person. It’s not just the wig, either but the natural seeming reactions and gestures while in character. It doesn’t look like a performance.

It’s also fully believable that this could have been a real comedy Queen, potentially a real person and I’m betting many initially did a search on the character to see if it was based on an autobiographical account. She’s that convincing.

I have so much to say about this series but the top thing: I’m glad generalized “social change” tropes and caricatures aren’t being lazily used to paint an era. Particularly regarding (*spoilers*!) Barbara/Sophie’s relationship with her mother.

Social movements often start to address some blatantly inhumane injustice but like all societal dynamics, become a new standard of conformity after the novelty of change wears off.

No matter how righteous the intent, humans inevitably fall into power hierarchy and purity battles. It’s the perennial challenge of interpersonal relations, of sharing resource access, spaces and competing for the group’s attention while trying to get along: Every “penguin” struggles to get to the top of the heap.

Even as we witness the refreshing pushback both Sophie and Diane engage in against the inaccurate cultural establishment assessment of their talent and skills, patronizing herding of and feckless lack of loyalty towards talented women and/or non White people in entertainment and journalism in the era, we are still given flickers of unease accompanying new pressures to conform to a new group:

Sophie quietly recoils when a Mother in roommate Marj’s Feminist group declares she abandoned her children in search of identity. Sophie’s body language clearly communicates that she doesn’t agree with the choice. But will she express that?

It’s an honest and important moment and a topic that’s too often not given time in portrayals of social movements from history, even ones viewed as generally virtuous. Too often, the reflex to defend, glorify or even propagandize a movement results in losing the nuance of human imperfections and fears of questioning the orthodoxy of the views that the majority of the movement support.

It can be even harder to find the courage to question ideas and opinions from those who you feel “took you in” and offered cultural shelter after you’d been rejected from the mainstream.

It was very satisfying to see “Funny Woman” acknowledge that: Just because you support the bulk of what a movement is promoting, doesn’t mean you are obligated to support and defend everything that comes out of it and from those who associate themselves with it.

If more things pop up on reflection, I’ll plop them down. For now, I hope we get more, more, more…

(I also want to bring up the inspired design of the big moment, where she confronts her mother.

Wearing soggy pigtails leftover from the episode sketch being recorded, standing behind the gate, with her mother up above in the audience seats, while the inner abandoned child comes rushing back into her face: She looks like a little, lost girl in a playpen or behind a safety gate, looking up at her mother in bewilderment and confusion over her rejection. Well, done.)

In which British TV series did David Threlfall play Frank, the head of the Gallagher family?

Set in Manchester on the fictional Chatsworth council estate, 'Shameless' is a British comedy-drama television programme that ran for eleven series between 2004 and 2013. The show revolves around the dysfunctional working-class Gallagher family. 'Shameless' won the Best Drama Series at the BAFTA TV Awards in 2005. In the same year, it won Best TV Comedy Drama at the British Comedy Awards.

The show initially focused on Frank Gallagher and the lives of his six children, Fiona, Lip, Ian, Carl, Debbie, and Liam. Later, the Maguire family was introduced, who became the focus of the show as the Gallagher children gradually departed. Frank Gallagher, real name Vernon Francis Gallagher, was played by David Threlfall. Born in 1960, he is an unemployed drunk, prone to drunken rants on a wide variety of literary, historical and philosophical subjects. He often quotes from Shakespeare and the Bible, making it clear he had a good education despite his circumstances.

David Threlfall (born 1953) is an English stage, film and television actor and director, best known for his role in 'Shameless'. He has also starred in 'Afterlife' (2006), 'Tommy Cooper: Not Like That, Like This' (2014), and 'Ripper Street' (2016). As well as television shows, he has appeared in films, including 'Hot Fuzz' (2007).

Unwelcome Geist

THE ENFIELD HAUNTING Ambassadors Theatre, London, Thursday 8th February 2024 Inspired by the notorious real-life events that supposedly took place in an Enfield council house in the 1970s, this new play by Paul Unwin has had something of a mixed reception, by all accounts.  If you go in expecting a Woman in Black to show up at 2:22, you’re going to be sorely disappointed. The action plays out…

Scum (1977)

Scum is a 1977 British television play written by Roy Minton and directed by Alan Clarke. It was intended to be screened as part of the Play for Today series. Instead the production was banned by the BBC after it was completed in 1977, and not aired until BBC 2 showed it on 27 July 1991. In the interim, a theatrical film version was released in 1979. The original version features Ray Winstone (in one of his earliest roles), John Blundell, David Threlfall, Martin Phillips, Phil Daniels and Davidson Knight.

early childhood memories I recently recalled

I had a crush on Mozart when I was 6. I would fantasize that he’d time travel or be reincarnated and we’d get married and have a son named Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart the 2nd. Sometimes in my fantasies, Mozart and I would play harpsichord duets (I cannot read music, nor can I play an instrument. My inability to keep a beat or follow a rhythm is well-known).

I also had a crush on Smike (as played by David Threlfall) in the 1984 Royal Shakespeare Company’s nine hour long stage adaptation of Charles Dickens’ “Nicholas Nickleby.”

I've been making my way through the Father Paolo Baldi Mysteries, BBC Radio 4's crime drama series and answer to the question 'What if Father Brown had Doubts about his vocation?', with a dash of Umberto Eco and a side of thwarted non-romance with his Gardaí detective partner, Tina. (Baldi is also explicitly presented as Italian-Italian, from the Abruzzo, and yet sounds as Lancastrian as David Threlfall.)

Today's episode provided a surprise appearance by Andrew Scott, in a role which sits bang in the middle of the 'Hot Priest'-Moriarty venn diagram; or prefigures them, I suppose, given its original broadcast date.

First look at Andrew's comedy horror Passenger!

Synopsis: Riya (Wunmi Mosaku) arrived in the quiet town of Chadder Vale five years ago and has since been searching for something, anything that will make her feel alive again. Then one night local girl Katie Wells (Rowan Robinson) mysteriously disappears. The town barely has time to register her absence before she reappears the next day, apparently safe and sound. The townsfolk ask few questions and normal life resumes. But for Riya, a relative outsider to the Chadder Vale way of life, none of this sits right. As a series of strange happenings and increasingly shocking crimes start unfolding within the town, the resident’s resort to short-sighted theories and blame outside influences such as the fracking site and its manager Jim Bracknell (David Threlfall). As things become stranger, Riya fights hard to convince the villagers that all is not as it seems. But what are they so afraid of?

Passenger, created by Andrew Buchan, lands on ITVX and Britbox in March, and will also air on ITV 1.
