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.
Working my way through Ozark and finding it very watchable. Spiral is an absolute must for us and I'll miss it in the future - love the gritty realism and the fact that they're often pleasantly incompetent, nearly all their stake-outs fail for one reason or another. I'm very happy with subtitles, speaking of which, I've just started on Call my Agent - looks very promising.

I’ve just seen The Dig on Netflix about the Sutton Hoo excavation in Suffolk. It’s a bit corny in places with some unnecessary subplot, but it looks great and Ralph Fiennes in particular is terrific. He looks strangely like Bobby Charlton these days. In real life, his character was actually five years younger than Carey Mulligan’s.
I also saw the John DeLorean BBC documentary, which was an unnecessarily gimmicky telling of an amazing story. Yikes, Roy Hattersley isn’t looking well.

My aunt was a nurse in LA and some times worked in the jails (not prison)
She met Richard Ramirez a number of times doing her job. Said he use to try and wind up the cops/guards asking if they wanted his autograph, said he was proper evil.
The BBC are showing a bit of a Simon Reeve Greatest hits retrospective at the moment, and I've always loved his shows, so I'm enjoying watching those. I can't work out whether I have a crush on him or whether I just really want to be his mate, but I reckon he'd be a ridiculously interesting bloke to go for a beer with. Seems like a thoroughly good egg. And he's from Acton, so he might even be Rangers.

This looks brilliant, Konk. Thanks man, I'm really into Travel stuff at the moment.

Well, it was ok but a bit over-rated to my mind. Too much on relationships and felt they could have included some interesting technical detail or potentially generated more excitement from the actual excavations. Of course there were some inaccuracies and anachronisms although that's no big deal - but the more you look, the more you find?
Seen Ralph Fiennes on stage and he is indeed a terrific actor.

I haven't watched The Dig but I have been to Sutton Hoo.
A tip for anyone who plans to go (when it is open and we are allowed to, obs): While it is interesting, the bulk of the treasures are actually in the British Museum, although there are very impressive replicas at Sutton Hoo.
"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."
I started re-watching 'The West Wing' last night. On the off-chance that any of you have missed it, it's complete quality.
Used to be my all time favourite series, might still be but having watched so much in the last year, it's hard to say. I started re-watching the series again many years ago and I think I got up to series 3 when something else distracted me. I also tried watching it on C4 when they re-ran it but the adverts just ruined it for me so had to stop. The last episode of series 2 where it closes out to Brothers in Arms, is still up there as one of the best season finales.
Might be worth a thread, "music and non related video combine to elevate both to a different level". like Nessun Dorma and Italia 90, best demonstrated in Kevin Allen's World cup video diary.

I remember watching the Kevin Allen thing at the time and enjoying it. I'll give that a watch later, thank you. I'm sure you know, but he's Keith Allen's brother (but I don't think he's Fulham - boo!).
I'm running out of things to watch so I caved in and shelled out to download the first series of Deadwood. Master Sheen can't believe his ears - they were allowed to talk like that on TV? As an aging git, I tend to rely on subtitles for mumbly bits of shows, particularly when someone is working in the kitchen. No subtitles on Deadwood - if ever a series deserved and needed them...
I'm really enjoying Wander Vision on Disney+, slow to get going but is now the highlight of my week when a new episode comes out. I have become a bit of a Marvel Geek though so you probably need to have watched all the films to enjoy it.

There are subtitles but it depends on your method of download.
If you have a video file and its location on the hard drive you can add the subtitle file (making sure the subtitle file has the exact same name as the video file). This is normally when the files are stored on a PC but if you are downloading it on some other platform this might not work.

That Kevin Allen documentary is quality, I watched it again recently. 30 years ago, but feels like a whole other world, especially from a football perspective.
Amazon prime has the Three Kings documentary about Busby Shankly and Stein on it - nothing new but entertaining and quite touching. Particularly enjoyed the Stein stuff - what an incredible thing for them to win the European cup that was.
I Care A Lot (Amazon Prime) starring board favourite Rosamund Pike. Watching it will make you feel like a Brentford fan last Wednesday- entertaining first half, cruising comfortably, then it all falls apart in the second and leaves you longing for the end.
