We're back for season two, with the potentially warmish potato of Sam Taylor-Wood's Nowhere Boy, a 2009 telling of teenage John Lennon's relationship with his Aunt Mimi and his mother Julia just before her death. How good are the performances and casting, and where does Aaron Taylor-Johnson rank on the Lennometer? Did John really want to be, uh, in an Oedipus's Garden in the shade? Do we buy the kid from Love Actually as Paul?
