The only writer who should be allowed to write about writers and their writing is Charlie Kaufmann.

Thought 'Being John Malkovich' was great; but 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' was a bit syrupy for my taste.
Never read any of his screenplays though.

Yes. Bloody brilliant. Had me laughing all the way through. Hugh Bonneville is great, and I can't praise Tom Hollander enough. Brilliant character, brilliant portrayal, overall really rather brilliant. More please, BBC!

I only caught snatches (!). There are some really annoying people in it.

Tim McInnerny is awesome! What a great performance.
Overall a really strong episode in my opinion - definitely a positive step up from the pilot. Am really looking forward to tonight's... it's just a shame that it's such a short series... why didn't the BBC give it six episodes?

Probably because it cost so much with all of those film stars in.

I still can't fathom why I like the character of Leon so much. By all accounts he should be repellent (rude, selfish, loud, annoying, arrogant etc) yet for some reason I found myself really liking him.

It's the vulnerability and inner child. He puts up the bastardness as a front to hide his insecurities and imperfections.

Did not know Tom Hollander was the Agent til just now.(Not put name to face)
All I can say is, his portrayal of the Agent, is one of the best characters on TV at the moment. As soon as I see him I just want to laugh. I sit there waiting gleefuly, for his filthy & arrogant remarks.
Blinder.
Sorry... NOT!
