You probably know this, but check out Peter Capaldi’s imdb credit for World War Z.
Now as a fan of bbc stuff and being frustrated I can’t find out myself, there was a bbc show MI5 which is basically their version of 24. It ran something like 9 seasons. A lot of great actors are on the show from Hugh Laurie to Richard Armitage and also including Ian McDermiand (the Emperor from the Star Wars movies)
They had a move that was released in the UK this year. (Spooks the Greater Good)
Any chance something like that makes it to the US? How can a ‘merican see this?
I have seen Peter Capaldi’s credit in WWZ… awesome stuff and prophetic.
I’ve heard about MI5, and I thought that Warner Bros. released the DVDs in the U.S. several years ago for the BBC. Maybe check out the BBC store (which I think is BBCShop or something on the internet). Not sure if Spooks the Greater Good ever got a U.S. release. WB was putting a lot of the shows out here in the states a while back, but they’ve dialed back on their marketing and promotions now that streaming is so prevalent.
One more bit. On the difference between the police and the military.
Quote from the reboot of Battlestar Galactica.
“There’s a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people”
Perfect!
