Saw another remarkable documentary yesterday, Terence Davies' Of Time and the City. The city in question being Liverpool from the point of view of the director's upbringing in the fifties, to how he sees Liverpool now.

He speaks the names Accrington Stanley, Sheffield Wednesday, Hamilton Academicals and Queen of the South in such melifluous tones against archive footage, to invoke memories of my dad checking his pools as the results came in over the bakelite radio. The whole film is spellbinding.

It's amazing to think how diverse documentaries can be.
