Psychotherapy, a treatment of the analysis of the mind…we understand so little of what drives human behaviour, what guides the brain and how it sparks certain actions by the person, that it is reasonable to look upon the practise with some suspicion, an excuse provided by opinion to keep a criminal, a murderer, an abuser, away from facing the full fury of justice.

Lalla, John Hartman, Arthur Holden, Nigel Downer, Stuart Fink, Betsy Sodaro, Mark Linn-Baker, Kathryn Greenwood, Christian Daoust, Cody Crain, Cat Lemieux, Rodrigo Fernandez-Stoll, Odessa A’zion.

It is a curious proposition that any show, especially comedy, that is a big hit in Britain, can face a clamour of public calls for it to be remade for the American television market.

War Of The Worlds (Series Three). Television Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7.5/10

Cast: Léa Druker, Gabriel Byrne, Bayo Gbadamosi, Ty Tennant, Pearl Chanda, Paul Gorostidi, Emilie de Preissac, Aaron Heffernan, Ania Sowinski, Adel Bencherif, Pieter Genard, Lukas Haas, Lizzie Brocheré, Molly Windsor, Jack Barton, Michael Marcus, Georgina Rich, Alex Heath, Luke Malby, Florence Bell, Seb Slade, Daisy Maywood.

Aside from the title it shares, there is little to connect the third season of Howard Overman’s War Of The Worlds and that of its more famous namesake, The original novel by the godfather of British Science Fiction, H.G. Wells, and yet it doesn’t stop it from being a tale woven with greater sincerity and fierce drama than almost any adaption of the work, aside from the incredible Jeff Wayne musical extravaganza which is fast approaching its 50th anniversary.

Extremists of any background are a danger to the country, not just our own, but around the world, if you have to even raise more than your voice in defence of your political position then you have lost the argument, you have lost the right to be seen as civilised and part of the system.
