Amy

I have just finished viewing the most poignant, fascinating and often painful to watch documentary on the life and untimely death of Amy Winehouse, a Film 4 production. She was a consummate jazz singer with a voice soaked in years of the tradition in such a young soul. Troubled by family problems with a dad that was hardly there, a tempestuous relationship with boyfriend and then husband Blake, and the rigors of being famous with the hounding of the paparazzi, and the ultimate cause of her death through dirrnk, drugs and bulimia. At times watching this i just cried uncontrollably and thinking such a waste of a unique and soulful talent. Miss your music so much.

Enjoy.

Another tense episode of Agents of SHIELD this evening with the portal opening up to the planet that Simmmons got stuck on. Coulson also went through it in search of Ward and his cronies. Looking forward to the next episode. Tomorrow the X Files and Tuesday Heroes Reborn - more great telly!

Meanwhile, i have some episodes of the first season of Penny Dreadful to watch.
