You fired her?  You didn’t want to share the screen wiper with her because that’s the best bit of the job.

Yes, characters are all brilliant, superb acting, tight  script, good pacing. I needed something after the absolute s***e that was most of Dr Who.  BBC story was headlined “Ncuti Gatwas renegerates as Billie Piper”. Then the first line of th…[Read more]

She enjoyed the process much more than I do @hunnybunny (low bar I must admit)and worked in a fish factory for a year so that’s not it.

Sure Joe Root will be thrilled with your match synopsis Bunny.Think The Guardian are looking for a cricket correspondent.

Yes @desperate-dan Dept Q proving to be a gem in Netflix crown.Worked out who was behind…[Read more]

Getting a bit nervous @hunnybunny, Wordle streak is at 990.

Up to the beginning of episode 5 of DeptQ @brianN. Best thing I’ve seen for years. Watch out for the running car parking gag, cracks me up every time.

On the flip side, up to episode 22 of House and it’s STILL bloody Season 1.

Miss June, on the North Wales coast. Ruined quarry buildings in the background.

Is that your joke @ixan57? If so it’s a very good one.

I thought it might be the historical case unfolding. But it was done so well it was easy to miss. Some brilliant dark humour.

Yes surprise timey wimey ending.Think I’m all in.Matthew is Goode isn’t he?

Great line you’d appreciate @ixan57.Kid on bus tells the cop he found his grandad dead…”It was the Tennent’s and crisps that got him.”

Not reached the end yet Dan.

Adverts yes, particularly bad recently. Can’t remember a single one though.

Ha ha @brianN I am about 30 mins ahead of you in Dept Q. Agree very promising. Keep thinking it’s Ben Wishaw, no bad thing. Shocking end to episode 1…

Is anyone else being plagued by adverts on the Nest ?

Watching Dept Q on Netflix just now as I remember the original Danish series being very good.Seems like the storyline is similar but set in Edinburgh rather than Copenhagen and the humour is hi-viz.Centres round a very rude and arrogant English cop(don’t suppose you ever came across one of those @hunnybunny?) living in Scotland.Only 1/2 hour into…[Read more]
