Enjoying watching Winifred Holtby's South Riding on the BBC. I always liked that book, which I read alongside Vera Brittain and it's nice to see it televised. Lovely shots of Yorkshire inter-war, very nice period drama.
Passion and politics in small places, says the BBC website. Yes, I like this kind of thing sometimes. Looking forward to the next episode.
Specially enjoy the shots of the beach in the sunlight. Reminds me of visits to Scarborough and its ilk as a young 'un. Also like the scoring - the sounds and music I enjoyed a great deal.

Art of Germany
I am watching Andrew Graham-Dixon's BBC art history series on Germany. I love the broken, dismembered art - Otto Dix, and the earlier scrawling drawings and pastels of Kirchner. The latter make me fancy working in pastel, the former inspire me to bring collage elements in.
