Bowl XLIX, also broadcast by NBC, surpassed that record with a base price of $4.5 million. Media executives projected that the cost of a 30-second commercial could exceed $5 million at Super Bowl 50, a figure that CBS confirmed |

As a prime example, I finished watching The Woman in White last night, the (relatively) recent BBC adaptation of Wilkie Collins' novel starring Dougray Scott, Jessie Buckley, Olivia Vinall, Ben Hardy, Art Malik, Charles Dance and many others including Joanne Scanlon. It's something which occasionally tried my patience but is beautifully filmed and extremely well acted. I don't think it's as good as the classic literature adaptations by Andrew Davies (Bleak House, War & Peace, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility) but it's a case where your patience is rewarded because the slow burning nature of the drama, told in five separate hour-long episodes, means you are (or would hopefully be) emotionally invested in the characters. There was a time towards the end where the events reminded me of The Dark Angel, possibly because there are similarities between the source material for that series and Wilkie Collins novel. I'm glad I've seen The Woman in White, but I don't think it's something I, unlike the Dickens adaptations, feel a great need to revisit.

Alice is great isn't she? Elba did a good showcase for Bond in the excellent Paris set thriller The Take. |

Saw a young Simon Rouse (DCI Meadows from The Bill) as a Constable in the 1975 episode of Whodunnit? I saw the other day. He was great too! |
