Mary & George
Mar. 6th, 2024 07:59 pmNot sure what it says about me that on first noticing the marketing for Mary & George, the Sky Atlantic political sex comedy about King James I, George Villiers, and George's mother Mary, Countess of Buckingham, my immediate thought was 'will there be a cameo from John Donne?'
(According to the IMDB cast list, no).
Despite that, I would like to watch it. It's got Tony Curran in it, and it sounds like a blast. But but but -- it's on Sky, and as far as I know I've never signed up to anything that involved giving money to the Murdochs. I'm sure they've creamed off plenty from me in advertising revenue through the decades, of course, thinking of my teenage years spent watching The Simpsons on Channel 4.
My resolve may crack. Looking at the publicity stills and articles, it feels as if the director has sent me a note to say: "I made this just for you,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
