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.

Enjoyed the first episode of 'The Day of The Jackal'.

Anyone else following it?

"Ireland's wild islands," on Sky Nature, is three one hour slices of calming escapism and probably just what most of us need after all the footballing horror shows we've been experiencing.

"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."

'Rivals' on Disney .Hilarious, fantastic cast, fantastic 80s soundtrack, and Emily Atack gets her baps out.

Perfect telly.

Quite enjoyed that

Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

Thought Lucan was watchable but exploitative of the son of the murdered nanny’s desperation to find answers to the mystery.

Ah, won't be watching , then.
I see it stars Eddie Redmayne. I find him unwatchable, anyway!

Don't know much about him.
He's good in this. A bit creepy.

Watched all 5 available now. It was a slow start but gets going during Eps 2 to Eps 5.
Lots of changes from the original book but they work.

Smells like a trout farm in here

Yes, very much so. I've binged the first five episodes and now waiting for the last five to drop. I love the interweaving of the story through different viewpoints and the plot holds together well.

After a 9 year wait, the second series of Wolf Hall has arrived on the BBC. I probably should have watched the first again to remind myself who all these characters are and what they want (not helped by some of them having to be recast since) so it takes a lot of concentration and careful listening but it is well worth the effort. Looks amazing, commands your attention, a real treat.

The finale of The Penguin was sensational. I can't remember a show that's stuck the landing so brilliantly.

Thanks Sheener. Always meant to check that programme out.

Thanks Orthodox. Will add to the list.

Meanwhile, just on case there's anyone out there that I haven't tried to sell 'Northern Exposure' to, I will now. Re-watching it for the umpteenth time and it's just glorious.

Coming to a dodgy box/site near you. In my case it's bflix.

Seems heavy going shows are modi operandi currently. Breaking bad probably the forerunner.
No objection from me considering how bloody good they are. Have to take a break every now and then for something less bleak and grim though. Almas not normal for example.

Ooh good shout - never watched first time round.

David Chase (The Sopranos creator) was one of the main writers on it.

Say Nothing (Disney!) is gripping stuff. Very well done indeed. We will be watching the last episode tonight.

Kubrick’s masterpiece Paths Of Glory is currently on Amazon Prime.
The man was a genius, and this is one of the best war movies.
Interesting fact: the only woman in the film (the German girl who sings to the soldiers) married Kubrick and is still alive today.

Half way through a new Elvis documentary on Netflix. All about his 1968 comeback TV special and the history of his career leading up to it.
Fascinating to see just how much of a laughing stock he had become due to those God awful films he had to make, but also just how out of touch he has become as well.

Man he could sing, though.

Is there a film Kubrick made that isn't a masterpiece?

My personal favourite is Barry Lyndon - but they're all great.

Documentary series on ITVX and they are also showing it on ITV4 called Dark Side of the Ring

All about America Wrestling and is brilliant, is part true crime, part circus part comedy. Each episode looks at a different story so some are just big things that happened in wrestling but from the inside but most are about the various murders and suicides, is quite dark at times and all told by people who were there.
