Children Of Men (ITV1)

I only watched this on a recommendation from a Genesis fans' board, because Hit & Run were co-financiers in the movie.

The best bit was King Crimson's 'Court Of The Crimson King' coming on the car radio. The rest was a pretentious bang-bang movie with breaks for the odd bit of opera.

I'm sure the Scottish guy in Arab costume was Jamesie Cotter in Rab C. Nesbitt, as well as the cuckoo in the Irn Bru ads!

I saw that, too. It wasn't perfect, but I didn't think it was so bad. The sets and locations were very well done, I thought, and made for a convincing near-future vision of Britain. Clive Owen was quite believable and redeemed himself in my eyes for that awful film about King Arthur.

The attack on the refugee camp reminded me of a video game, but I don't know if that's good or bad. Good, I think!

I'd give it 7/10, if I was feeling generous.
