Christopher Foyle’s war is never ending and post war Britain must be thankful that there was at least one honest man around who was willing to go up against so called authority in which to get to the absolute truth.
The art of melancholia should not be dismissed lightly,
nor the sculpture of passionate sentiment
in conveying a different message meaning not seen as unsightly
as one witnesses the beauty of honest lament.
To have the air of melancholia surround you,
might bring others down and cursing your name
but there is more honesty in a reflective sadness true
than in any false smile, revelling in sneering fame.
To go through life and not feel the hunger
of the soul as it bleeds from time to time,

Some films are just so perfect that the ideology behind them, the message they are meant to represent, doesn’t matter. What matters is the substance, the overall feel in which they leave the audience fulfilled and more content than being told they could eat whatever they wanted over the festive period, it wouldn’t show up as weight gained on the scales at home.

For many a band, home is perhaps somewhere only where you dump your stuff and put a fresh change of clothes into a bag before heading off onto the road again. The road, whether it’s a journey from Hell on the M6, somewhere between Bicester and Scotland or one of those cross-country runs underneath the open skies of the North American highway, can be all consuming and in the end nowhere feels native, everywhere feels as though you could settle down and find love; it is in the end the sign of the murky waters that goes with having No Fixed Address.
You don’t need words to understand how I feel,
to know how engaged I consider to be involved
in the art of one sided conversation that you employ.
I take it all in and if I should desire I could shut my eyes
gently and let my ears take me to the paradise
you promise, the Heaven in which I desire and lust after
more and more each day.
Many I have loved, and I could recite their closing words to me
when they whisper down my ear with the subtly
Jack, the Lad
Every day Jackie’s alarm wakes him up to a randomly selected song from The Charlatans’ Wonderland album. Today it’s Judas and the scratchy synth-laden intro has sounded six or seven times before he gives acknowledgement to anything other than the snooze button. The last time he looked at the clock it was 5.41. Now it’s barely half 7. It’s been another predominantly sleepless night at The Playhouse on New Street.
I’m as deaf as the Iron Men I watch far from the squall,
but they see so much more than I do, even through
the gloom and dark of both ends of the day.
That raven black sky is pitted with the most beautiful
fire stained red and blistering orange,
as if a far off volcano had burst into life
and sending its majestic deadly plumage as far as the Crosby coast-line
High above the Iron Men seagulls battle bravely,
their squawking, bickering, distasteful arguing is unheard

The safety of France is at stake and yet somehow it is The Musketeers that have placed it in danger by rescuing a man from a lynch mob. It is the sort of opening to a new series of hugely successful adventure series The Musketeers that feels as good as it possible to be.
