[QUOTE="spiney, post: 252613, member: 192438"] Wed 30 Aug. True Lies, ITV2, 9.00pm . Arnie's secret Agent spoof. Repeat of last night. Worth catching. Hound of the Baskervilles, ITV3, also 9pm. Alas, not the truly excellent 1958 Hammer version, but a "long episode" from the ITV series. However, any version of "Hound" is watchable (thanks to the excellent story), and Jeremy Brett was a good Holmes. Stigmata, BBC3, 10.00pm. A Vatican Priest has to try and decide whether a woman's stigmata are "real". I seem to remember this film as "so and so". However, the subject matter is fascinating, as Stigmata really do happen in real life (as do visions of the Virgin Mary, although, very interestingly, she seems to only actually appear in Catholic countries!). Stardust, Men+Motors, 10pm. Interesting slice of 1970s Britpop nostalgia, starring David Essex, a "superstar" at the time (after doing Godspell). That's mainly sci fi, and no links, OK Rolf? Thur 31st Aug. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, BBC4, 10.50pm. (episode 2). (Not sci fi, however "very exceptional", and well deserves a mention). I'm no fan of the late John Le Carre's turgid, unreadable books! However, this particular adaptation of them was riveting. In the 1970s, made after a spate of spy revelations, it had the entire nation "on the edge of its seat". One of the very best such things things the BBC has ever done (along with I Claudius, and Edge of Darkness). (The story really starts in episode 2, so if you start watching now, you haven't missed too much!). [/QUOTE]
