    Review Hadleigh (1969)

    Just gone through all four series of this classic drama. Some interesting stories, Hadleigh is an unusual hero, a toff but with a hectic life, both personal and business intrigues. Gerald Harper is mesmerizing and holds it all together wonderfully. Special mention for Ambrosine Philpotts as...

    Review Japan

    This is a band that had great promise, but most of their good tracks recorded before they hit the big time. Then they split, and David Sylvian had more success but that great Japan sound was no more.
