  • So what if Malpractice is boring? It’s still brilliant

    1 week ago | inews.co.uk | Gerard Gilbert

    Casualty meets Line of Duty is the easiest way to summarise ITV’s medical thriller Malpractice, which returns for a second series with a largely new cast. It is indeed made by the same production company as Line of Duty – but then so are Vigil, Showtrial and countless other TV crime dramas, so nothing particularly remarkable there. But the first series of Malpractice – which premiered in 2023 – was a cut above the average.

  • The Settlers is Louis Theroux at his shocking best

    2 weeks ago | inews.co.uk | Gerard Gilbert

    Louis Theroux has come a long way since making a name for himself by lulling celebrities into revealing too much about themselves – albeit not quite enough in the case of Jimmy Savile. He still interviews celebrities, of course, but he’s also a serious documentarian of considerable weight, and his latest film, Louis Theroux: the Settlers, is among his best.

  • I, Jack Wright is a worthy successor to Unforgotten

    3 weeks ago | inews.co.uk | Gerard Gilbert

    It must be very rewarding to have created a hit TV show, but also potentially constraining. Writer Chris Lang – creator of ITV’s cold-case crime drama Unforgotten, now in its sixth series – must have fancied a change from dreaming up backstories for decomposed corpses. Certainly, his new whodunit I, Jack Wright, feels like it’s been written by an author unshackled from a winning but repetitive formula. It’s great fun and – ironically for a murder story – full of life.

  • Love My Face is designed to make you cry

    3 weeks ago | inews.co.uk | Gerard Gilbert

    If the beautiful White Lotus star Aimee Lou Wood can be mocked on American TV for her charmingly natural British teeth, imagine the daily lives of people with far more extreme facial differences. Actually, there’s no need to imagine because a new Channel 4 series, Love My Face, introduces a whole host of people who society treats differently because of the way they look.

  • Any TV presenter is replaceable (even Claudia Winkleman)

    1 month ago | inews.co.uk | Gerard Gilbert

    It’s been a busy couple of years on the TV presenting front – a game of musical chairs occasioned by a number of “top talent” departing under their respective clouds. First out of the door was Phillip Schofield, whose “unwise but not illegal” affair with a younger runner on This Morning led to his departure from the daytime talk show in 2023.

Never mind The French Connection. My favourite Gene Hackman movie is the 1975 Arthur Penn film Night Moves. Not even mentioned in any of the obits https://t.co/lrpQXyQGZ5
