The Night Watch

The Night Watch is on tonight, BBC2

It's the TV adaption of the Sarah Waters novel. She's the one who wrote Tipping the Velvet and Fingersmith, two others that got adapted for screen.

I've been waiting for this to come on for a while, the book is brilliant.

Fingersmith wasn't as good as the book but Tipping the Velvet was better. It will be interesting to see which way Night Watch goes!

This won't be one for kids, though

Is this the Russian film I'm thinking of, sequel to Daywatch ?

Description:

Set against the turbulent backdrop of London in the 1940s, this adaptation of Sarah Waters' best-selling novel, The Night Watch, follows four young Londoners inextricably linked by their wartime experiences. In a time when the barriers of sexual morality and social convention have been broken down, Kay, Helen, Viv and Duncan enjoy a freedom never experienced before.

Moving back in time through the 1940s into the maelstrom of the Blitz, the lives, loves and losses of these four central characters are unravelled. For them, the post war victory is bittersweet, for it returns them to the margins of society from which they hoped they had been liberated. In order to build their future they must each make peace with their past.

So no Russians
