All fake according to the Channel Five documentory but then in last weeks programme was about The Dambusters and they had CGI of a Lancaster running in on the bomb run with front turret guns blazing. I am pretty sure this turret was operated by the bomb aimer so he would have to be pretty busy to do both. Good to see they had no top turret though, at lest that part was accurate.

Excellent reading of the story – I had a similar feeling while watching the Muppets’ Christmas Carol over Christmas, but you’ve articulated it even better than Kermit and his pals.

[...] Ultimately it is the character of Claire that is acting as the catalyst. In the first episode she was almost incidental to the plot, (though Gina Bellman’s onscreen presence can never be described as incidental), just the wife at home, a background character (in some ways, similar to the role of female leads in pre-feminist, pre-equality horror cinema, just there as a love interest, to scream and be rescued). She is, however, potential in waiting. Episode three contained a pivotal scene as Claire confronted Hyde for the first time and we began to see the strength and resolute belief ready to explode. I have the feeling that Gina Bellman’s portrayal could be a bit of a tour de force: I always considered that she did most in developing her character in the comedy series Coupling (also written by Steven Moffat), so we could see a transformation worthy of Jekyll and Hyde himself as she switches from meek wife to…..well, we shall have to wait and see!

Comment on And the challenge lasting three nights? by Mark McGuinness | poetry · McKellen Reads Gawain

[...] Armitage was right to say (in his Guardian article) that a translation melts the “thin coat of ice” that lies between the original poem and a modern reader (or listener). Unless you’re an expert in Middle English (which I’m not) the language barrier inevitably slows you down, whereas a translation allows you to canter through the poem at the same speed as a its first audience. Which gave me a fresh sense of what a marvellous storyteller the Gawain-poet was – it’s a tale you can return to again and again and find new meanings. (Here’s a blog with some interesting reflections on the symbolism of the tale.) [...]
