I watched Filth 3 times (the blessing of living in a cosmopolitan area with multi-PBS stations). Julie Walters, as always, was perfection. Her hats were...less than vagina-esque.
Condom hats? Diaphragm hats? I'll have to think on this.
Can't wait for Alistair Cooke; I grew up with THAT Masterpiece Theater. I wonder if they'll venture into Muppet territory; old enough to get the joke, I loved Henson's tribute to "Alistair Cookie." :-)
PMP, the Alistair Cooke special was illuminating, to say the least. He led an interesting life, but what struck me was that he enjoyed women so much, and that he preferred his daughters over his son. His naked ambition was also evident, as was his lack of closeness to the family he left behind in England. Fascinating new insights that round out the man! I hope PBS shows this special again.
