Got it as an unwanted birthday present. Satire, characters are fleshed out. Things going on at the time, written by John Sullivan. PG cert. I was looking at the calendar on the back wall.

Series 1-3. Cert 15, 6867441056492. Crime parody created by Charlie Brooker. Stars John Hannah, Suranne Jones, Daisy Beaumont, Karen Gillan and others. Funny and clever show.

Part two there was a bank robbery. Todd Carty cameos. Using the subtitles, sometimes blends in with the background. Originally broadcast on Sky. Ch4 DVD release. You might hear or spot some funny visuals featured briefly. Querishi played by Navin Choudry gives detailed descriptions of the victims as seen in other Cop shows. Contains crude gags, sex, nudity, violence, gore and swearing. Great acting from all members of the cast. I like the tits on the girl in McCratty's club. Strippers doing morris dancing. John Hannah is a brilliant actor, see this, Sliding Doors, The Mummy plus more. Nice soundtrack especially the theme. The third series Terry Cloth, brother of Jack, has been murdered. The suspect is a cult leader. Karen Gillan plays Newblood, a new recruit to the force. Des is a pervy bloke. Nice dialogue when with K Gillan. She was in an episode of Rebus. There's an actress that looks like Felicity Jones. Guvorner Boss is no nonsense with great lines. I'd like to see the bloopers. There are lots of pretty women. I recommend this show to all.

I recommend this film.

Terminator Genesys
Sci-fi action sequel/reboot. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Clarke, Jai Courtney, Emilia Clarke, Matt Smith. Mixed reviews. But I enjoyed this film and recommend it to you. As with the first film Kyle Reece is to be sent back to 1984 to protect Sarah Connor. However things have changed. The film pays homage to early entries. Good acting, special effects and acting. Emilia has a fantastic body. I hadn't realised that she is the hot dragon lady in Game Of Thrones. I like time travel films. Good plot twists. You might like The Machine, Humans, Predestination. http://www.ew.com/article/2015/06/30/terminator-genisys-franchise-timeline-explained
