I saw that and put it on the list. Decided to watch Giri/Haji first. It's pretty good noir!

Putting this here, because it's a clip from a TV series. Quite a cross-cultural mashup, too -- Taeyeon, covering Adele, in Hackescher Markt, Berlin. With beautiful results, I might add. 😊

Talking Pictures UK Freeview ch 81 have been showing Secret Army for a while now. I haven't seen this before but I did see some of the longer running send up of it: Allo Allo.

But now having seen quite a few episodes the more serious series is much better than the send up. The most well known star is Bernard Hepton but there is a huge cast of mostly British character actors. Clifford Rose as the Gestapo officer Kessler is outstanding. Also the stories were all based on real life events. It recounts the activities of Lifeline a Brussels based network which enables crashed Allied airmen to return to Britain and the Germans' efforts to find and disrupt it. Many episodes are available free on Dailymotion. This is the first.

Yesterday I watched "Tom & Thomas" also known as "The Christmas Twins". I thought it would be difficult for me not to associate Sean Bean with Boromir. You know, one doesn't simply not associate Sean Bean with Boromir while watching another film. Surprisingly, I almost didn't have any associations related to LOTR.

"The city of London is preparing for Christmas with exuberant shop window displays. Two nine-year-old boys, Tom and Thomas, are unaware of each other’s existence, yet they have always somehow sensed that the other is there. Tom has an imaginary friend called Thomas, whereas Thomas plays with his imaginary friend Tom. When Tom plans to run away from the Boys Home where he was brought up, he is witness to a child smuggling operation. The smugglers come after him, but he manages to escape. He goes into the Science Museum where he meets Thomas visiting the place with his adoptive father. The premonition he has felt all along turns out to be real: Thomas has found his long-lost twin brother and the boys promise never to part again. Secretly Tom hides at Thomas’ home and they change places in various situations, creating amazement and confusion amongst people at home and at school. The smugglers also mistake Thomas for Tom and attempt to smuggle him out of the country. It is up to Tom to save his brother and bring his family together again".

The obvious question is, does he die?

I normally don't associate Sean Bean with Boromir when I watch movie with him. I watch new series of Snowpiercer, he play the main villain (and he is excelent in that role ).

🤣🤣🤣
