To live through history is to take stock of the emotions you feel as the moment reveals itself; to be able to reflect as television, the modern mediator of truth and fiction, uncovers those emotions once more as they harness the energy of the subject for either entertainment or for unearthing some even darker secret, is to understand the curse of our age, that everything presented on a disaster of unimaginable scale is up for debate.

Richard Cotton’s acclaimed television drama, The Fear, reached its final destructive conclusion whilst retaining the excellent writing from beginning to end and not entertaining the idea of slipping into the realms of outlandish fantasy. It is for this that the writer and cast must be applauded fully for giving a distinctive and sensitive portrayal of Alzheimer’s Disease and yet also giving a huge shot in the arm to a hopeful resurgence in the British Noir art form.

There are some jobs that feel as though they are built for the romantic, for the notion of what being alone with your thoughts can do, and the impact it will have on your soul; time apart from the rest of humanity, time spent with just yourself in command and with nothing to worry about except perhaps the demons waiting in the dark.
