    For a Few Dollars More

    ★★★★

    An impressive sequel to the mediocre first installment. Lee Van Cleef makes a fantastic secondary lead (despite the fact he looks old enough to be Eastwood's dad despite being only 5 years older). Eastwood himself is a class act as always and it's clear to see where other western actors of this period and later took inspiration.

My hope for the show had been rekindled slightly, but was it enough? To say recent Doctor Who, on-screen and behind the scenes has left a bad taste in my mouth. Let's see if I watch the Christmas special to find out.
