Typical - last night had two class TV shows on at the same time in a desert of naff broadcasting.

So I watched A Room With A View - excellent - last night and DVD'd Joe's Palace which I just watched tonight.

Magnificent. Even better. Michael Gambon and Danny Lee Wynter must surely both win Best Actor BAFTAs and Stephen Poliakoff for writing and directing it.

Absolute class. This is why we should willingly pay our licence fee.

Interesting to see that Joe's Palace just pipped A Room With A View - 4.1 million viewers against 3.8 million.

But I reckon all 8 million loved every second of both.
