its a true story / docu-drama type job, all about Joyce Vincent, who died alone in her flat but wasn't discovered for three years - and was only eventually found when some bailiffs turned up with a repossession order and broke the door down. apparently the tv was still playing. chilling stuff, but the most tragic thing is she wasnt a loner, she had a job, friends, and astoundingly THREE sisters... yet in all their hustle & bustle lives, nobody reported her missing?

looking forward to it!
Is that on tele, General, or have you taken it out?

I was flipping through the TV guide. It's on after midnight on some preview channel, but I noticed Walkabout (with a very young Jenny Agutter) is on tonight.

Yeah no worries, not seen owt mind blowing for a bit, not new anyway but all the best films from last year are out on DVD now - Snowtown, Kill List, Tyrannosaur, we need f'talk about Kevin, Melancholia... Snowtown is my favourite, absolutely brutal! And based on a true story too which always helps. If your owt like me you'll spend two hours watching it then 2hrs reading up on actual events!.. Then probably watch again! Quality.

Marmite film, mainly because of the ending. But IMO, it's ace!

'Ace' more fitting than sublime. It's pretty blokey, grrrr! Whole different league to sucker punch.

That's exactly what I do. Can't believe it's not just me that does that :D Give me what you've got, but not American comedy, obviously, as it's all not comedy at all ;)

I've never heard it described as shite. Alot of peeps said they thought it was great but were let down by the ending. It's pretty contentious but didn't detract for me. Tremendous.

'Dreams of a life' is brilliant too. Glad it was, would of hated for such an intriguing story be let down by a shit film, but this is pretty haunting, powerful stuff.

Bit late with this I suppose, but last night I watched Frank Skinner & his documentary about George Formby on BBC 4. Bloody good it was too.
