The panel discuss:
The film This is England; Engleby, the latest novel from Sebastian Faulks; the catchily titled Called To Account: The Indictment of Anthony Charles Lynton Blair for the crime of aggression against Iraq - a hearing; and the new album from Icelandic singer Bj枚rk.

I was disapointed too. Lots of nodding sagely, but no attempt to actually understand.
Review is increasingly becoming 'dinner party' TV for neurotic middle class hosts and hostesses.

The film is twenty years to late, I cannot understand the point of this film being made now about skinheads.
A more relevant topics would be about young Muslims and how they are being radicalised and joining extremists Muslim groups.
These young men turned against the Country they were born in, the reasons for this seem to be that they feel that they are not heard and have no option but to attack the culture that they feel does not understand them.
This would be a more relevant and worthwhile topic to explore then yet another left wing film about how hard it was during the Thatcher years.
Finally, the four critics on the show, what a load of rubbish they spout, my Dutch girlfriend thought they were some weird sort of comedy act!.
