In 1985 I was at UCLA grad school brooding over a broken engagement. Paris Texas was just out and showing in Westwood. I felt such empathy with Travis and Jane and the film’s mood.

Just finished watching the movie version on Criterion. Just brilliant; so I can only imagine how good is the original stage play.

This was yet another brilliant lead to new material from Backlisted. So appreciated. For anyone with access, in the US on Criterion Channel is the movie version of A Taste of Honey along with a 15 minute Shelagh Delaney interview.

I grew up in the 60s, so Dr Who was a slightly haunting window into a different world. Its atmospherics were like being allowed by our parents to watch, say, Callan. After the first 5 or so doctors that quality seemed to go away but of course I also was moving on.
