Another everyday masterpiece: 'Small Prophets'

Monday this week saw the appearance on iPlayer (and BBC One) of the new offering from Mackenzie Crook. He had already cast his magic with 'Detectorists' and an updating of 'Worzel Gummidge' and this is his latest series: "Small Prophets".

It's a magic realist wonder. 

It's a quotidian masterpiece.


It's built from small observations of suburban lives, and people's lives intersecting (or not).

It's nostalgic and sad - built around memories, and people who have disappeared. Unanswered questions, and a chance to have them answered.

Set aside 3 hours and immerse yourself in it...
