Another dvd to watch: a three part miniseries which is one of the first things I saw Emilia Fox in. Not the first, but it is of long ago. Shooting the Past is about the world of photo archives. I've seen it before and it's quite interesting, mainly character based.

And yes, that's Timothy Spall again. Not surprising since he's in everything.

It may be about photo archives, and beautifully shows the stories even in otherwise unremarkable pictures, but it is also about loss and grief. It's very much the moment a doctor gives you a terminal prognosis and you want to just not accept it, but then in a metaphor of photography.
