Update
Finally got round to watching the rest of The Hollow Crown (Henry IV parts 1 and 2 and Henry V) - it is amazing, altho' I was delighted Ben Whishaw won the BAFTA for Richard II, I still think it's a shame Tom Hiddleston wasn't even nominated as I do think he was excellent as Hal/Henry V.
Also read Amy 27 which is a biography of Amy Winehouse and also some of the other famous members of The 27 Club (this was the name given to the group of musicians who died when they were 27 - in this case, Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain although they do mention a few others in passing in the book). I guess they do have their similarities esp. the 1st four who were all around at the same time + died within a relatively short space of time. The author covers their lives/careers as well as their deaths and looks at the conspiracy theories surrounding their deaths managing to dismiss them all. Maybe it's just me but I did feel like some of his comments around mental health were, I dunno, sort of unsympathetic or just really kind of generalised 'tabloid' type comments. It is so sad to read about Amy's decline - I think Back to Black was an amazing album.
