Sorry, but I was in the audience for the 10th Anniversary Concert - The Dream Cast, at the Albert Hall, and nothing compares to that. Yes, I'm biased, but even the 25th Anniv' pailed in comparrison ...

This live show was a bit of a let down, lyrics changed, miscasting, I love 'Les Mis' and really tried to enjoy, but nope. I know my comments will undoubtedly annoy or upset, but there ya go ... As good (?) as Alfie Boe is, he's no Colm Wilkinson who played Valjean in the original cast, same for Michael Ball, he was so good as Marius but as Javert, yikes! ... As for casting Matt Lucas as Thénardier. Why they couldn't have asked Alun Armstrong is beyond me!

Nothing could beat the 10th Anniversary Concert, they wasn't called the 'Dream Cast' for nothing in my humble opinion.

I have to say that my heart goes out to the families, losing a family member is hard enough, but when it's Children, it goes beyond words.

That said, I just can't get past the complete DENIAL of Diane's family.

Vodka doesn't miraculously materialise in the blood on crashing, nor alas does Marijuana. It got there somehow, and maybe the Family need to accept that small detail.

Would it give them closure, impossible to say, but I don't think so.

VERY well made and thought our documentary, showing due care and concideration for all involved.

As a MASSIVE 'Star Trek' fan ... From Kirk's first steps, to TNG, DS9, VOY, & even ENT which all had their merits... I was so looking forward to a new outlook on the Trek Universe.

Alas, from the first episode of Discovery, with a Starship that looked like a 4 yr old had drawn it, to the completely unrealistic and unbelievable crew, and plotlines that only a burntout 'cabbage' could come up with. It went down hill so fast I had a nose bleed!

So must expectation.

I have the feeling Gene would be turning in his grave at what people have done with his masterpiece 😢
