Alan Partridge: Welcome to the Place of My LifeIn a love letter to the religion that made him the man he is today, Alan explores the key landmarks and natural beauty spots that have led some people to call Norfolk the 'Wales of the east'. He takes you, the viewer, back to Norwich's darkest days when councillors fought over the imposition of the night time parking fees, then brings us up to the present by revealing the inner workings of the place he describes as My Coalface, my canvas, my lathe. Alan Partridge on Open Books with Martin BryceAlan's appearance on 'Norfolk's foremost forum for lovers of Literature' provides a fascinating insight into Alan Partridge - the author. Stand-in host Chris Beale pulls no punches as he turns the tables on Norfolk's King of Chat. Covering Alan's gruelling writing regime (1,500 words per day sustained by a bowl of hard boiled eggs), his inspirations and his views on literature, Alan also reads some poignant excerpts from his autobiography 'I, Partridge: We Need to Talk About Alan.'
Dave Starsky (Paul Michael Glaser) and Ken 'Hutch' Hutchinson (David Soul) are plainclothes cops patrolling the streets of an unnamed American city (portrayed by Los Angeles) in a 1973 red Grand Torino. Dark-haired Starsky, who has an unflagging appetite and a quick quip for any situation, and tall, blond, Hutch, who is more soulful and serious, are not just partners on the job, they are also close friends. But their unorthodox methods are endlessly frustrating for their boss, Captain Dobey (Bernie Hamilton). The duo has a powerful ally on the street, however, in Huggy Bear (Antonio Fargas), a shady character who proves Starsky and Hutch with plenty of inside information.
Paulo first meets Ilir in the bar where he works. When Ilir offers to take Paulo back to his flat because he is too drunk to get home they find the attraction almost too much to bear. Over breakfast the next morning the young handsome musicians joke about sex but without even realising this is where their erotic journey begins. Despite an initial hesitation the two grow closer and experiment in a sensual world neither knows much about. When Paulo's girlfriend finds out about their love affair she kicks him out which forces them to move in together. Whilst at first they fill their days getting to know each other's bodies and pushing their own limits and boundaries the intensity of their relationship eventually becomes too much. Their love is severely tested by a dramatic series of events and when Ilir ends up in prison Paulo is forced to become independent. He grows close to the manager of a local gay sex store and ends up becoming submissive in their relationship whilst longing for Ilir to come home. Beyond The Walls charts an intense sexual relationship and was officially selected during Critic's Week at Cannes. David Lambert's first feature is for fans of recent gay classics like Weekend and Keep the Lights On and sees an incredibly personal look at a challenging relationship which resonates with us all.
Starsky & Hutch: The Complete Second Season proves the 1970s series, in its sophomore year, both codified its earliest strengths while continuing to evolve into a sharper, wittier and often darker show. Contributing to those improvements were the stars themselves: David Soul (who plays maverick police detective, intellectual and health nut Ken Hutchinson) and Paul Michael Glaser (as Hutch's more impulsive, junk-food-junkie partner Dave Starsky), each of whom directed exemplary episodes in the second series. The series' creators also struck a more entertaining balance between the comic and dramatic possibilities inherent in Starsky and Hutch's bluntly honest, fraternal relationship. A number of stories placed the guys in intentionally funny undercover situations: as garish gamblers in the two-part opener "The Las Vegas Strangler"; entertainment directors (named Hack and Zack) on a luxury cruise ship in "Murder at Sea"; gigolo-like dance aficionados in the playfully-titled "Tap Dancing Her Way Right Back into Your Hearts"; and, most amusingly, stunt men in "Murder on Stage 17". Those are all good shows, and the duo often bicker within them, to great comic effect, like an old married couple. But it's the relentlessly tougher episodes that prove each character's mettle and demonstrate the depth of Starsky and Hutch's mutual trust. Among these is the powerful "Gillian", in which Starsky discovers Hutch's classy new girlfriend is a prostitute and breaks the news to his shattered friend. Somewhat lighter but just as revealing is "Little Girl Lost", starring a young Kristy McNichol as an orphaned street urchin whom Hutch, lately in a misanthropic, anti-Christmas mood, takes into his home. Glaser's directorial debut, the harrowing "Bloodbath", gives Soul a lot of room for an intensely physical and psychological performance as Hutch scurries to find his kidnapped partner. Soul returns the favour with "Survival", in which Starsky desperately seeks his missing pal, trapped and slowly dying beneath a car wreck. All in all, a very good series, with (of course) Antonio Fargas still sharp as sidekick Huggy Bear. --Tom Keogh
