The Grand Tour: An Itchy Urus (2019)
I was about to write this show off, then...
I was starting to lose interest in The Grand Tour and their often over-the-top silliness at the expense of good content. Then I watched this episode. I'm back as a fan! Yes, the intentionally phallic track for ice-racing a Lambo Urus vs. Abbie Eaton in a Porsche 911 was slightly juvenile, but pretty good fun on an otherwise boring night. Then, the tour-de-force --- a 20-minute historical tribute to Jim Clark. I was on the verge of tears two or three times. When it was over, I just sat silently for a few minutes - before diving in to write this review. I'm going to recommend even non-motor-heads to pull up this episode and jump right to the 36-minute mark just to see the masterful handling of this topic. And Richard Hammond gets to drive the very Lotus 25 that Clark himself drove!
Matters of the Heart (1990)
typical TV formula movie
Not a *really* bad performance, but this formula movie didn't have any surprises. Jane Seymour does a great job as the recluse musician, but the story does not even nearly rise to her level. Christopher Gartin does have his moments making all the goofy mistakes that an 18-year-old really makes.
n.b. in the 1990's, there were no rich famous people driving MGA's.
