One of the most enjoyable English lessons of my youth was watching Joe Macbeth, over two legs. Perhaps the teacher thought that the updating to a gangster milieu would make the complexities of the Scottish play more relevant to his rabble of fourteen[…]

Bunk Bed Boys: you get the feeling the BBC don’t care for it too much. For the winner of their BBC talent sitcom writing contest you would think they would be trumping their new discovery. Instead they punt it out at 11:30pm on a Monday night, […]

Torque is The Fast and The Furious but with motorbikes. That is the kind of in depth criticism you come to Do You See? for. It is all you need to know if you are considering seeing it. It is not as good as The Fast And The Furious, but it is better t[…]

This has relegated me to blogging on something straight out of the seventies, with a keyboard not dissimilar to the early Tandy micro-computers. This of course is thoroughly apt for a short piece about Starsky & Hutch. Not just because my compute[…]
