Martina Cole - Double Bill (DVD)

My sisters all being fans of martina's eventually bit by bit wore me down, and I gave up and read 'Dangerous Lady',I thought it might be in the Barbars Cartland mold, but boy was I wrong. gritty, down to earth, hard, gangsters, molls, London, mean streets, the list goes on, the realism just flows from her pen, her research is second to none, it seems she almost must have lived the life, well I digress, after the first novel I devoured the rest in no time, and thought what good films some of the books might make, and not having the slightest idea Thames Television had indeed done this. As you can well imagine the first thing I did was a mad finger quivering search through ebay, and yes there it was, so not being patient enough to bid I clicked the 'Buy it Now' icon, and the DVD duly arrived. That very night, armed with a nice Indian takeaway and a few 'tins' I pressed the play button.
I watched both that very evening, and can honestly say I really enjoyed both, although being a bloke thought 'The Jump' edged the two films, excellent cast, with some faces you will instantly recognise and love, one or two were born for the part, in 'The Jump' the double dealings, passion, back stabbing, lust and sheer realism is a treat, I ended up shouting at the TV and hated certain charaters, so that's a sign of good telly, I forgot they were actors 9 am I sad or what ).
If you love Martina's books then I can honestly say you will love this. And for around £ 8:00, so don't just sit there, get those fingers tapping and search and buy...........NOW.
Oh and for the record........Yes I am of the male species.
