Yesterday I had the most fabulous time sitting on the beach painting with the extremely lovely Caroline Quentin, Actress, TV presenter and, as it turns out, enthusiastic artist! We were filming a segment for a program she’s making which will be aired later in the year, so watch this space! Thanks Caroline for being so calming to a newbie! …and thanks to all the film crew for making me welcome and putting me at ease. 🎥🎬😳😁 @quentyquestions @cqgardens @kingofsunshineproductions #filmingday #documentary #carolinequentin #pembrokeshirecoast #paintingonthebeach #gratefulartist #filminglocation #filmcrew https://instagr.am/p/CrgVybtoPXs/

Father Christmas is Back (2021)

Movies like Father Christmas is Back are why people hate Christmas movies. Maybe it’s a British thing because over in North America? This comedy is about as hysterical as a pick-ax to the groin.

It’s hard to tell if the Christmas sisters - Caroline (Nathalie Cox), Joanna (Elizabeth Hurley), Paulina (Naomi Frederick), and Vicky (Talulah Riley) - would've grown up as friends, or if their father leaving 27 years ago is what caused them to become such radically different people that they constantly argue. As Caroline and her husband Peter (Kris Marshall) attempt to host a Christmas celebration at the family Yorkshire mansion, it couldn't get any worse... and then their father (Kelsey Grammer) and his new girlfriend (April Bowlby) show up.

As you meet these characters, you know you’re in for a lousy experience. Caroline is the kind of control freak whose obsession with “getting Christmas right” because daddy left should’ve prompted her husband and kids to get her some psychiatric help. She’s still more mentally sound than Paulina, who spent at least a decade writing a thesis on the Beatles. She’s so useless to the plot they could’ve exed her out and lost NOTHING. The oldest Christmas sister is Joanna, who constantly tries to convince everyone that she isn’t 40+. If her boyfriend had any brains he’d read between the lines. Finally, there’s Vicky, whom everyone falls just short of calling an ultra-slut. Generally, this is a very horny movie, which makes the PG-13 rating a death-knell. The only thing that could’ve made this ordeal interesting is an Elizabeth Hurley wardrobe malfunction - each of her scenes must've demanded a new roll of double-sided tape - or an actual payoff to the mention that “I can’t get any bars in this house!”. If writers Philippe Martinez and Mick Davis had any shred of mercy, they would’ve pulled a bait-and-switch. Father Christmas is Back would’ve started as the yearly holiday slurry no one can stand and then turned into a You’re Next-style home invasion movie with everyone brutally massacred.

The lack of any substantial plot makes this picture infuriating. It’s just people being quarreling for an eternity - and then dad shows up. Then, they keep at it, with extra snide remarks thrown from their uncle (played by John Cleese) to his brother, while their mum (Caroline Quentin) says NOTHING - a dead giveaway that there’s more to the story than we’ve been told. No one could relate to this, particularly when criminal offenses are committed. Except this tale takes place in an alternate universe where nothing matters so the plot (or lack thereof) just keeps chugging along, oblivious to the reality that’s being shattered by the constant lack of consequences.

I swear Father Christmas is Back aims to ruin your day on purpose. At one point, you think the conflict is over, that everything’s wrapped up… and then it keeps going. You’ve got another forty minutes to go. Please. Have mercy! Instead, more "comedic" emotional conflicts emerge; the kind that could’ve been settled decades ago with a 5-minute conversation. Father Christmas is Back will have you reach for the lights on strings so you can hang yourself. (December 20, 2021)

Jonathan Creek

I’ve spent the last few nights curled up on the sofa with Jonathan Creek. It’s been great! And plenty more episodes to watch on Netflix. 

The characters have depth, its stylish and then there are the stories - although I have to say that after watching a few I’m starting to guess who’s done it and how.

This mystery drama began in 1997 and it’s fascinating to see how attitudes have changed even since then. For example, the women characters accept without complaint being touched up. 

Some of the actors have become very well known - last night I saw a very young Amanda Holden in “The Problems at Gallows Gate”, and Bob Monkhouse in “The Scented Room” who for some reason I now really like, but detested as a small child, I think because my parents liked him. 

The episodes touch on some serious themes, for example, childhood issues - Maddy trying to come to terms with her past with the help of her therapist. Or the potentially destructive consequences of feeling invisible in a marriage - in “The House of Monkeys” one of the characters is sleeping with her father-in-law, and even her mother-in-law knows!

And here’s the theme tune.

And the author, David Renwick

And I now want to live in a windmill (confession time: I have actually lived in a cottage attached to a windmill)

I read in the Times this morning that “Friends” has become the most streamed programme in Britain in the first quarter of this year. I may give that a go soon but for now I’m sticking with Jonathan Creek. If you want to know more here’s the Jonathan Creek site.

DecorHouse: A onda do momento

DecorHouse: A onda do momento

Andei um pouco afastada do blog me dedicando á uma marca própria, mas tudo nesse mundo tem seus percalços, o projeto continua, mas a sede de escrever sobre o que vejo, o alucinado comportamento humano, me trouxe de volta.

Quero falar de uma grande onda que está envolvendo a sociedade, a onda da decoração, o prazer de ter em casa um cantinho cool ou apenas um objeto, que represente, que surpreenda…

The World's Most Extraordinary Homes. Depois de focar nos amantes do design, com a série Abstract, a Netflix voltou sua atenção para os fãs de arquitetura. Os apresentadores são o arquiteto Piers Taylor e a atriz, apaixonada por arquitetura, Caroline Quentin. A dupla viaja o mundo visitando casas com arquiteturas pra lá de originais. Os episódios são divididos por localização, sendo que o primeiro é focado em casas que ficam nas montanhas, o segundo na floresta, o terceiro na costa e o quarto no subsolo. Em cada programa, com cerca de uma hora de duração, Piers e Caroline não só apresentam diversas propriedades, mas também conversam com os moradores e arquitetos para descobrir a história e os detalhes mais inesperados de cada uma das propriedades. Com residências que vão desde construções minimalistas de madeira localizadas no alto dos alpes suícos até modernas casas que exibem formas orgânicas e materiais metalizados, o seriado promete ser daqueles que você vê em um fim de semana - no máximo. A boa notícia é que, no seu país de origem, o Reino Unido, a série já está na segunda temporada! #netflix #TheWorld'sMostExtraordinaryHomes #architectpierstaylor #CarolineQuentin (at United Arab Emirates)
