In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole?

Why, why, why? Jemima!!! This month Andy and Martin plunge themselves head first into the poorly-made Thames drama Jemima Shore Investigates and probably wish that they had not been so curious about it. Andy gets off lightly though, having only watched 3 episodes and the far superior pilot Quiet as a Nun (as part of Armchair Thriller). Martin meanwhile watched it all and may never recover! Despite some great guest stars including Tom Baker, Stephen Yardley, Norman Jones and Stratford Johns, the main series from 1982 has little to recommend it and has the worst sound production that Andy can ever remember hearing. Martin attempts to be a kinder reviewer and claims to have watched some entertaining episodes, but it is all relative! Quiet as a Nun is a cosy 1978 thriller that would make the ideal watch at Christmas with Susan Engel, Sylvia Coleridge and Renee Asherson all vying for our attention, but the 12-episode series Jemima Shore Investigates is a bit of a ‘Hodge Podge’ from which even the divine Patricia struggles to escape. If you want to hear many juicy and terrible Jemima-snippets and want to understand why we end up talking about a young River Song getting her ass whipped, or the relevance of Digby Chicken Caesar to a Jack the Ripper-themed murder mystery, then this is the episode for you. Next Time: Kessler
