This week: Nath's been watching the FX series of Fargo, which stars Martin Freeman and is available on Netflix, and mostly enjoying its fine performances and refractions of Coen-brother themes and imagery. Watching Fargo was, for the most part, an attempt not to think too hard about James Meek's Private Island, an excellent book about the sell-off of Britain's state-owned enterprises and essentials over the last 35 years, which Sarah avoided by getting into Bond - she talks about Casino Royale, Moonraker, and the word "bitch". Offline Dating comes up for discussion in what we've written this week, and finally we answer your questions - and forget to be annoyed that the BBC American film poll doesn't include a single Coen brothers entry. Rubbish.
