2/1/2024 0 Comments Onecast series x![]() Fleet is ideal for a Squire Allworthy written here as a wet liberal, essentially good-hearted but too morally weak to fight the cruel iniquities of a society that has given him prestige as a lawman. ![]() The supporting players are a plush repertory of familiar names, many of them perfectly cast. None of this means Tom Jones is without its pleasures. We do on occasion see how her skin colour affects her life as a woman of means – intrigued stares thrown in her direction at a garden party overt disgust from the staff of a roadside inn – but it is an issue that feels as if it’s being picked up and put down again on a whim. In this adaptation, she’s also Black, the daughter of a slave and a plantation owner who, upon the death of her slaver father, was sent from Jamaica to England to be raised by her rich white grandfather. She’s the narrator of the piece, a conceit the dramatisation doesn’t fully commit to, perhaps because her lack of agency means there isn’t a lot for her to say. That Sophia is a moping wally is unfortunate, given the efforts made to beef her character up. Neither protagonist seems capable of a rush of blood, to the heart or anywhere else: when they talk, flirt or even kiss, there’s nothing there. As Sophia, meanwhile, Wilde comes across as wet-eyed and childish, spending much of her time wailing, daydreaming or impotently stamping her foot. McLeod is too reserved a performer to pull this off: his Tom seems awfully sensible from the start. The leading man here is meant to be rakish and roguish, ultimately an upstanding hero but one who needs to get a lot of crass mistakes out of his system before that goodness fully emerges. They both end up in London, where Tom, separated from Sophia, is drawn into sexy adventures. The resulting row leads to Tom being banished and Sophia taking flight. Sophia is urged to marry the monobrowed inadequate Blifil instead. But when he is reacquainted as an adult with childhood friend Sophia Western (Sophie Wilde), the girl from the stately home next door, his life changes: they want to marry and cannot, because Tom is a bastard. My huge thanks to PleasantSpectrum on the Apple support forums who discovered this solution.Tom is happy enough firing his catapult, running through woodland and, when he comes of age, lifting up the many petticoats of a poacher’s daughter. Once you’ve fixed the problem, even when you power the Mac down and switch off the controller, you shouldn’t need to go through the process again. If it doesn’t work for you, unpair the controller in the Mac’s Bluetooth settings, go back to step 1 and try again. Press the buttons on your controller or waggle the joysticks and (hopefully) you should see the relevant button/joystick highlighted on the page, as shown below:Īmazingly, and for reasons I can’t really explain, this seemed to fix the mapping issues with my Xbox controller.Now click the Bluetooth symbol in the Mac menu bar, select Bluetooth Preferences and hopefully your controller should appear in the list. To do this, turn the controller on and press the pairing button on the top of the controller, the same one you’d use to pair it with the Xbox console. Pair the controller to your Mac via Bluetooth.Here, then, is the solution that worked for me: I was highly sceptical that it would do anything when I read the suggestion on the Apple forums, but it worked for me. I can’t promise it’s going to work for you, but give it a shot. I can’t explain why the solution below works. But after several hours of Googling and trying all sorts of different ‘solutions’ to the problem, I’ve finally cracked it. Until now.Įven when Apple recently updated macOS 11 to support the new Xbox Series X/S controllers, it didn’t solve the problem. The same happened when I connected via USB cable.Ĭould I find a solution? Could I hell. The A button was mapped to B, for example, and other control were out of whack. They would pair via Bluetooth, no problem, but buttons weren’t mapped properly. My Xbox controllers (both for Xbox One and Xbox Series X) refused to work properly with my Mac. This is one of those problems that has been bugging me for ages.
