The Last Nazis: 19 September 2009

Last night's second of three episodes looked promising as a tv crew chased around trying to interview the eponymous last surviving Nazis. It might have looked promising, but I doubt viewers expected so many references on the part of the interviewer on how he is the same age these Nazis were when they committed their crimes and then went on to muse on what they must have been thinking to behave as they did. Some might call this naivety, which the interviewer did occasionally, but others might believe such thoughts could have been left on the cutting room floor as they only served to highlight his ignorance.  

Coronation Street: 18 September 2009

Lloyd, Steve and Claire turned into the Railway Children and no they didn't stop a train and avert a terrible accident, but they did take all their old tat round to Eileen's house after a burglary left her bereft of electrical appliances. Because she is similar to Bernard Cribbins, she too turned stroppy when the so-called gifts were revealed, but because this is Coronation Street (and televisions have now been invented) their actual present of the flat screen tv was accepted warmly.

Meanwhile Jack was having his send-off in the Rovers and it really is strange that they had to have drinks at 12.30 on the dot when he is only moving to a new house in the same town. Really, they could have delayed the small party until after Molly's fake yoga class - some people, honestly.
