Watched it last night too. Fabulous interpretation of the book. The changes were perfect. My wife and I were saying that what we love about Del Toro is that, while his visuals are always sumptuous, they never overwhelm the themes and characterisation in his work.

You'll love it. I'm actually from Dundee, although I live in Glasgow now. To my shame, I've never made it up to Orkney.

This is quite disturbing. Whatever you think of Sarwar, he's 100 times better than Trump. That 21% need to take a serious look at themselves.
