She's Been Away is another of his works with a brilliant turn by Peggy Ashcroft. He often loves telling his stories in two different timelines.

He writes with an eye to how he's going to direct, which means everything is pared back and told with simplicity and an air of mystery... which I find really draws me in.

I've been a huge fan of his work since watching Caught on a Train when I was child. Peggy Ashcroft was brilliant in it.

In what I can only believe is a scheduling coincidence, last night's 2nd episode of All Creatures on BBC Four (approx 8 mins in) featured a storyline around television transmissions starting at the Holme Moss transmitter.

It is a standout performance. Once seen, it stays with you for a long time.

Ohhhh, I was the announcer / director on BBC One Northern Ireland that night... I left the pres suite to get chocolate from the vending machine... and came back to find Red Corner had fallen off air due to the power failure at TVC. Great fun.

It's a nicely put together video, which also highlights one of the issues about that logo... its simple elegance was deceptive... and led people to recreate it rather than use the actual logo. Even in this video the actual logo doesn't appear until 7 minutes in... instead we get a recreation.
