Oliver Twist (1948) what a great version.

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/oliver_twist_1951

Great reviews on Rotten Tomatoes...Released to cinemas in 1951 in America and 1948 here apparently.

Fancied something light last night, so did the latest couple of episodes of Gogglebox on All4. Forgotten how funny it could be. There’s still some great characters on it. The eccentric Giles & Mary are my favourites.

A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square (1979)

A reminder of how enjoyable the late 70's were.

Old classic cars in it and cop cars and no mobile phones.Very nice.

Great bit at the end where he Pinky (Richars Jordan) gets sentenced to 7 years for the bank robbery,pops in the carsey with the cop waiting outside...dons the judges wig and gown which were hung up on a coathanger.As soon as he had walked into the toilet the idea occured to me also.Then he makes his escape.The rest of the robbers are jailed including David Niven.

Nice bit at the end with Westminster Bridge also and a few other London sights of the time.Never seen that film before.

The Talking Pics channel is my favourite channel.Can't get into this box-set stuff.At least not at the moment.

Watched the first couple of episodes of "Tiger King" on Netflix last night. Real life crime story about the very weird folk in the big-cat breeding business in USA.

There are some very odd people in the world.

I saw a photo in the week of some eccentric looking man with a tiger, I guess it’s the same man, same show. Is it worth watching spike?

Yes - I would say it is. It delves into the world of American zoos - big money to be made in breeding tiger cubs and lion cubs for people to have pictures done etc. An interesting stat is that there are now more tigers in captivity in the USA than are living wild in the rest of the world.

There's a feud between the eccentric looking guy and a quasi-animal-rights woman (who, it seems, is not so lilly-white herself). From the intro there's going to be some sort of murder-for-hire action.

It's a docuseries, so these people are real (and real odd too)

Enjoy

Another one to avoid: that Downsizing film on netflix with Matt Damon. Concept had potential, but boy was it boring.

Agree, total waste of an idea, turned into a romance if I recall.

Breeders on sky is alright if you like these adult parenting comedies like catastrophe or motherland.
