When I was a kid I watch the original series and remember Bobsley the chunkie older and comic relief character that loved his angels. I also remember the voice of Charlie, authoritative but kind. The stories were simple but didn't like drama and each angel had their own charm. One was a tom boy, the other a model the third the action one. They were all ex cops who were given dull jobs because of their gender. Now this series is nothing like that. Bobsley is a hunky ladie's man hacker with no charm. The angels have a dirty past, their dresses are skimpy, their bodies are skinny and they are like barbies who can fight. Let's talk about the fight for a minute: shaky cams and unnecessary are the norm in this first episode. Avoid.

This film was shown on the BBC recently and I've always been keen on history and specially on why Hitler got to become Chancellor. This is based on a real story and you get an insight into Germany pre-WWII which explains a lot about the man but also the people who followed him. However it will still baffle you. After hearing Hitler's responses in court one could only doubt the intelligence and rationale of this man. Unfortunately we all know what happened next. This is the story of a courageous man who wanted to fight for tolerance and got to subpoenaed Hitler to do so. Quite an impressive feat. The acting is very good, from the judge down to the prosecutor but specially the actor portraying Hitler. Well worth watching. The BBC films never disappoint.
