The only writer who should be allowed to write about writers and their writing is Charlie Kaufmann.

Never heard of her.

Thought 'Being John Malkovich' was great; but 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' was a bit syrupy for my taste.
Never read any of his screenplays though.

Yes. Bloody brilliant. Had me laughing all the way through. Hugh Bonneville is great, and I can't praise Tom Hollander enough. Brilliant character, brilliant portrayal, overall really rather brilliant. More please, BBC!

I only caught snatches (!). There are some really annoying people in it.

And Martin Amis, Kingsley Amis, Vladmir Nabakov, John Updike and the bloke who wrote Colin's Sandwich.

Tim McInnerny is awesome! What a great performance.
Overall a really strong episode in my opinion - definitely a positive step up from the pilot. Am really looking forward to tonight's... it's just a shame that it's such a short series... why didn't the BBC give it six episodes?

Probably because it cost so much with all of those film stars in.

I still can't fathom why I like the character of Leon so much. By all accounts he should be repellent (rude, selfish, loud, annoying, arrogant etc) yet for some reason I found myself really liking him.

It's the vulnerability and inner child. He puts up the bastardness as a front to hide his insecurities and imperfections.

Did not know Tom Hollander was the Agent til just now.(Not put name to face)
All I can say is, his portrayal of the Agent, is one of the best characters on TV at the moment. As soon as I see him I just want to laugh. I sit there waiting gleefuly, for his filthy & arrogant remarks.
Blinder.
