You’ll have to take in series one first @hunnybunny which was made 10 years ago,I’d almost given up on S2.

If you like a faster pace Day of the Jackal is superb.Also looking forward to a new Rogue Heroes (bet Mr Compton likes that one).

Yes poor Kevin just got the one series. Those meanies at the BBC again however they do period drama better than anyone. Loving Wolf Hall although there’s a lot of creaking going on. Can’t work out if it’s Henry’s knees or the wooden flooring Nothing wooden about the acting, Rylance and Lewis superb. My wife on the other hand hates it. She reckons…[Read more]

Speaking of comedy shows cut off in their prime I was reminded of this from It’s Kevin. For those not familiar with the famous Bill Grundy interview with the Sex Pistols someone on Utube cobbled them both together. This is Kevin Eldon’s take on thingshttps://youtu.be/0NQphQZXhFM?si=E10W3Aza7MoJjpPO

At least Count Arthur got 3 series.

Just when you thought reality tv  had reached an all time low Discovery+ have come up with…

Meet the Rees-Moggs

Kill me now.

Hey Dan on the basis of body count per solution Dixon of Dock Green must’ve been in a league of his own.

Hopefully one of these days he’ll be the victim of a trouser fire while he’s wearing them.

Speaking of Midsomer I see the latest offering centred around a drag show in the village of Elverton-cum-Latterly.Who writes this stuff?Russell T davies?

I’ll have that biled heid with a bilin’ o’ tatties.

They’re all gangin up on me “Help mah boab!”

As for your scholarly detective league table @desperate-dan I seem to remember Morse was near the bottom.Deeply flawed analysis.

Hey @karen68 I lived in Fraserburgh on the north coast for a time and they have their own lingo(Doric).Took me a while to get used to phrases like:

Fitlike ma loon (How are you young man) Obvs that was quite a way back.

Ging awa n spear Dan (go and ask Daniel)

Ma quiney’s a sair een (My daughter has a sore eye)

I watched a few episodes of Shetland once. I’m usually pretty good with understanding the huge variety of UK accents, but I needed the subtitles for this show.

Yes he should have looked left then right.

Man City’s defensive jitters continue to haunt them losing a 3 goal lead with 15 mins left.Lot of Schadenfreude around just now.

File this under:

“The customer is always wrong”.

One of my old biddies (they’re the worst)gave me a roasting today.Why?Did I leave bird poo on the glass?Miss a window?Break a garden ornament?No she complained about…[Read more]

Always been a big fan of the delusional greatman, inexplicably cut off in his prime by penny pinching Beeb. Funnily enough when anyone mentions trouser fire I think of this… https://youtu.be/A2sMVeDG7QI?si=RXz9J9uubhcIhJ1K

Agree with Dan about the radio shows but the tv series are well worth checking out on Prime or Netflix I…[Read more]
