I watched the last episode of line of duty and thought that was good. Undercover has finally grabbed by attention. I quite like some of the investigative programmes Stacey Dooley does. However I can't wait for the next series of people just do nothing.

Rain Dogs starring Daisy May Cooper is one I'm enjoying at the moment. Worth a look.

Thanks Metallica.

Mwanwhile Ted Lasso is back.


I finished it,

I enjoyed it, it's quite gritty in places and some of it is a bit far fetched i.e the front line seems to be French and Germans wondering in the woods (though it is suppost to be the more fluid 1914 so maybe in places it was like that) but apart from that I recommend.

Ok, thanks. Good enough for me.

Hmmm the new series of Ted Lasso has clearly taken a surprising turn.

Anyone mentioned Kleo (Netflix) yet? It's more than a bit derivative of Killing Eve and Kill Bill - rogue (Stasi) agent seeks revenge on the bosses who betrayed her - but it's actually very funny and the cheesy historic detail is great .

Finished watching The Gold on Saturday night

Brilliant

Few embellishments compared to other books I’ve read on it but a great six parter.
They captured the time very well and it’s pure late 80’s


It was superb. The dialogue was in a league of its own, lyrical yet often humorous and bitingly sarcastic. It was worth watching just for some of Inspector Boyce's lines, he was such an engaging character.

"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

Okay this might not be to everyone's taste but....

So, I've not been well for several weeks, which has meant a fair bit of lying on the sofa watching daytime TV. No, I'm not going to recommend Pointless or the Tipping Point.. but something far more interesting and really quite wonderful, and that is The World's Most Extraordinary Homes, which is currently on BBC2. I just chanced upon it this week, season 2, episode 2 was the first I watched, and it blew my mind. This episode is set in Switzerland, and if the first house doesn't take your breath away, I don't know what will. So I've carried on watching and today was Miami. And all I can say is wow.

You might not find Caroline Quentin's gushing enthusiasm or Piers Taylor's slightly prissy love of aesthetics to your taste, but never mind, just look at these incredible places. Surprisingly refreshing TV.

There is a very moving documentary on next Thursday on ITV1 about QPR fan Jason Watkins who is a British actor, his daughter died of sepsis aged 2 and he talks through what happened and his campaign to raise awareness.

Some of it is filmed at Loftus Road, is really sad watch seeing what him and his partner have gone through but worth a watch.

Working my way through s2 of Kevin Can F**k Himself. It's a good concept. Kevin is a US sitcom character. Utterly ridiculous. However, when he's not in a scene it turns into a gritty drama about a long suffering wife who wants to kill her husband.

Also good, in fact excellent, is Guy Garvey's show on Sky Arts. It's just a collection of bits from old music TV mainly alternative stuff from long gone music shows. Loads of good stuff on there like Killing Joke, ska stuff, a bit of pop stuff. Really fun to watch.

The Piano

The blind autistic girl......wow!

Lang Lang - THE best classic pianist in the world called her a "genius"

All 4 'winners' had a story to tell.

4 episodes, the concert with all the back stage stuff and just the concert all available on line - it was on Channel 4.

The last couple of weeks I have watched all of series 1 of The Gilded Age. It won't be to everyone's taste but the fact I got emotionally involved in the characters means that some on here may enjoy it.
Also; I don't know if it is mentioned elsewhere in the previous 75 pages, but Tim Minchin's Upright is a very good series.

The grass is always greener.

Thought the first two episodes of “Blue Lights” (BBC 1 Mondays and iPlayer) that I’ve seen so far were truly excellent but I’d obviously have to defer to the knowledge of our Irish posters as to the authenticity of it.

Thanks for the reccs. I've often wondered about 'The Gilded Age' in a could-be-good-could-be-awful kind of way. never heard of 'Upright' but Minchin makes me laugh whenever I see him and it's got an 8.4 on IMDB.

I'll give both a go. Thanks again.

Just finished The Night Agent on Netflix. Enjoyable, although not ground breaking. Given a season 2 already.

The Power on Amazon has started off well.

Started watching Daisy Jones and the Six. I'm telling you this so you don't have to watch it: what a load of old tosh. Looks good and it's a decent premise (I wonder if they got the idea from David Mitchell's (the writer, not the comedian) insanely good book, Utopia Avenue), but the music - which after all, is what this is meant to be all about, is absolutely dire. It's always refreshing when the cast members are actually performing the songs, but this lot can barely play. The drummer is atrocious.

Talking of actors performing songs, I absolutely loved the series Nashville. I'm guessing it wouldn't be too popular among this forum's viewers, but I love a good old Southern romp. They do it so well, and some of the music is brilliant. IMHO, of course.


Based on book of same name by Taylor Jenkins Reid (supposed to be decent, I believe, but I imagine in the book they can all play and the songs are good.)

Watched this over the last 2 nights and it is so good. I hear there is going to be a 2nd series.

War Sailor, a Norwegian Netflix 3 part series about their merchant seamen in the war. Hadn’t known anything about them before. Two parts The Cruel Sea to one part The Deer Hunter, pretty grim, but really well done.

The Good Mothers, an Italian series on Disney. It’s a true story about some women in the 'Ndrangheta mafia in Calabria. 4 episodes in and I’m seriously considering blowing out Rangers to polish off the last two episodes tonight.
