Page 8 (TV2011) Ok, this is a spy, MI5, thriller type movie. Never mind all that, you can read all about that at IMDB. If you watch this at home, turn out the light, put the sound system on and get ready to trip on the cool quiet music. Envelop yourself in the mystery (not too much), the world weary hero who smokes too much ala Humphrey Bogart, lives alone and is not on the lookout for company (but he really is), has an important government job and deals with high end politicians, spies and nosy neighbours...and compromises his future when he has to deal the PM on a sordid matter. Never mind that. Does he get the girl? Well you'll have to watch to find out. Bill Nigh is the new Bogart, though he's getting on. He should have started doing this sort of stuff years ago instead of all those silly roles in Pirates and whatever else. Deliciously gloomy when you're in the mood.
