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.

Agreed, it was painful listening to him. I enjoyed some aspects of Rogue Heroes, the historical elements and taking on board the incredible truth of what the SAS achieved - which was vividly brought to life - but all the silly stuff, epitomised by the ultra glamourous Algerian French agent, showing up at the front line in her chic outfits and so on, blew it for me. Even though they put the disclaimer at the beginning: this is NOT a history lesson...

Meanwhile, on a very different tack, I've finally got round to watching The Detectorists. What a delight.


Delighted you enjoyed The Detectorists. One of my favourite programmes of the last ten years.

Thanks to all for the reccommendation on SASRH (how cool am I with my acronyms!). Very mixed reviews, but if LB likes it, that's good enough for me. It's on the list.

Speaking of lists, I've finally started using IMDB's 'Watchlist'. I may never step outside the door again.

Watched the Boyzone No Matter What documentary on Sky - I know it sounds ridiculous right, but the Mrs liked them when she was a teenager. It's actually quite interesting. They were flogged to death by Louis Walsh who comes across as a complete arsehole throughout and very unapologetic about it. Worth a watch, 3 parts, very sad about Stephen Gately.

I really enjoyed American Primeval.

The acting was top notch.


Another recommendation for American Primeval, truly top notch all round. If you like your westerns uncompromising and meticulously faithful to the feel of the times it's a must watch - every step in those days was a potential threat of (insert bad thing) happening, and the show does a great job of showing this.

Also started S2 of Lioness on Paramount + and it's potentially better than S1 so far.

I have recently started watching the original series of Wolf Hall and am wondering how the hell I haven't watched it before now!

Paradise on Disney+ just keeps getting better. Can highly recommend it.

Smells like a trout farm in here

I rewatched it before the second one came on and was probably even more impressed with it than the first time. In particular the scenes involving interaction between Mark Rylance, Damian Lewis and Claire Foy are fairly crackling with tension.

I always thought that Louis Walsh was an oddball but now I realise, having watched the documentary, that he is a psychopath. What an odious and shameless bar steward he is.

Suffering since 1978.

Today with no football on for us and a quick look through what's on I'm watching a bit of the Big Match Revisited - Joe Jordan scoring a banging header for Southampton against West Ham. Then over to The Magnificent Two on ITV3 at 11 followed by The Giant Claw on Talking Pictures - that's not a bad few hours compared to the general dross that is on tv these days. I've reverted to watching Looney Tunes and Scooby Doo in the mornings before work so a lot of retro tv from the good old days for me.

BBC not quite going into total deletion just yet from by box, old BBC still rears its head on occasion.

Traitors is always worth a watch but for me the US version is loads better than the UK one.
Alan Cumming is great at hamming it up as the presenter and the contestants are more glamorous and better at acting the part due to their previous TV exposure. Loved Boston Rob in this year’s series.

Not watched the latest US one yet but will do at some point . Alan Cumming was great in the season we watched previously . Is it still semi - celebrity contested?

Well they’re American reality TV celebrities that we’ve never heard of apart from the lovely Nikki Bella of WWE wrestling fame.
