this week on 100Films.co.uk

Most months nowadays I only post a single update about what's been happening at 100Films.co.uk, but this month the dates and days fall in such a way that there'll be (at least) two. Wow!

This week, it's time for the regular monthly review...





...but it's not until next week that I'll be posting its companion list of "failures".

So, for once I can actually promise: more next Sunday.

Last time I watched these episodes, I went for the 'Super-Sized' original broadcast versions that are included on the series' Blu-ray in SD as a special feature. This time, I just went for the shorter HD versions. It's been so long that nothing in particular stood out as missing, though it's clear in places that the episodes have been cut.
