I've always liked Gilbert & Sullivan and having sung a lot of their works, have marvelled at the way Gilbert managed to cram all those words into the music; the film is a reasonably accurate way in which they worked together. Also it's full of small character parts from well-known faces; whether their actually singing or not, I don't know. This is a far cry from mass-produced, boring, so-called horror/suspense and computer-generated, unbelievable martial arts films. It knocks the socks off all the new animated films as well.

Great British drama
I just love New Tricks. The characters are believable and each has their own vulnerability and strength. The storylines are mostly exciting and there is always an underlying story beneath the surface. Keep them coming.

A Touch of Frost
I like the drama and the fact that Frost can be a bit of a nuisance. He has a nasty, inconsiderate side that comes out every now and then.
