On a more frivolous and less annoying note

and because I've recently been on a Simm kick, due to having a guest who also likes him, and also due to having watched Everyday:

How many times has he played prisoners, or ex-prisoners, or soon-to-be-prisoners, now? Sometimes it seems as if he never plays anything else!

I just saw a promo pic from Mad Dogs series 3 on tumblr, and guess what... he's in prison. Again. Though it's in Morocco for a change, so that should be different.

It's rather ironic that I first got to know him as a police officer!

Everyday (in which he plays a prisoner... of course) is really good, btw. It lingered with me for days.

Moving On, on the other hand (in which he plays an ex-prisoner) is kind of dire.

I actually liked Everyday so much I went and read some articles about it.

This bit, from an article from the Radio Times, amused me:

"The film is an ambitious mix of improvised drama and 7 Up-style footage, shot in short bursts over five years, with John Simm and Shirley Henderson playing the fictional parents and the kids just being themselves. That’s not easy when you’re only three and Moaning Myrtle out of Harry Potter is pretending to be your mum and the Master from Doctor Who is your dad."
