Reyner Banham Loves LA. They don’t make documentaries like this anymore. More’s the pity. Actually really makes me want to go back to LA… or at least LA as it was in 1972.
Californication
TheSecondComing(UK)
The other day I did something I never thought I’d do. I emailed Channel 5 with a scheduling query. I know, who’d have thought Channel 5 had a schedule worth querying. I wanted to know when they were going to show the second season of Californication, which started in September in the US. After a week they replied saying that while they held the rights to show season two, they had no plans to do so.
That’s the last time I email them for anything.
If you didn’t see it – and why would you have, it was on Channel 5 – go and buy the season one boxset now. Here’s the season one trailer to explain why.
