good morning to everyone except for the person responsible for Andrew Scott's ridiculous fake Russian accent

After the impressive critical and cult success of Dredd (though lacking somewhat unfathomably, the crucial commercial success) this is what Pete Travis did next, a 90 minute adaptation of Alan Judd's 70s set 2001 spy novel Legacy for the BBC's Cold War Season which has been running this past month.
It's a suitably somnolent production as befits the slow burning espionage genre that the likes of Le Carre excels in. The cinematography seems to be soaked in murky brown tea and easily captures the bleak ambiance of 1974, the year in which the film is set; a year which saw the UK crippled by what was up until that time the greatest recession since the 1920s. It was a time…

Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when Andrew Scott tried to do a Russian accent.

Rather flat depiction of a cold war story with two friends on either side of the anglo/russian front during the 1970's. Nice to see Romala Garai once more after her wonderful role in 'The Hour'. However, this 90 minute piece simply did not move with any speed and remained in second gear throughout. Not one of BBC Drama's best.

I saw a man so beautiful i started crying?
I immediately felt compelled to give them the nine dollars I had in my purse and say 'you are the best looking person i have ever seen so i think you deserve it and i was going to buy my lunch with this but whatever' but decided against it. and then i started crying. i seriously cried for an hour. i ran to the bathroom and came out later and i was even more tired before. i was overtired and btw i am a girl. i dont know why i cried because of that and he was better looking than all the models id seen ever! -
