GOOD TV

[Stanley]

Thanks Ian. I'll wait. I follow the plot better if I can watch the episodes consecutively.

[PanBiker]

I should correct and say each episode is first released on IPlayer and then it is on normal TV channel a few day later, Saturday nights I think. If you need to binge you will have to wait as you say.

Watched the final season of Bosch, on Prime last night. A good adaptation of the Michael Connelly novels

A new series of Canal Boat Diaries starts tonight at 7.30pm on BBC 4, always a pleasant and gentle watch with no celebrities in sight.

[Stanley]

I shall go to that on catch up Wendy. The attraction is "no celebrities in sight."!

[Wendyf]

I think it's on all week Stanley. Last night he travelled from Wigan to Burnley so I imagine tonight's trip will be very local.

[Stanley]

Thanks Love, I shall do one episode a night on catch up because it's too near my bedtime at 20:00.

There was mention, a few months ago, that they were filming in the Barnoldswick Music and Arts Centre/Mcculloughs Bar on Rainhall Road for the Canal Diaries programme.

Young Wallander season 2 on Netflix now.

[Tripps]

they were filming in the Barnoldswick Music and Arts Centre/Mcculloughs Bar on Rainhall Road for the Canal Diaries programme.

If you'd rung up relatives and told them to watch 'that Barlick place I'm always going on about' - I think you'd be entitled to be a bit disappointed.

PS Speakng of canals, I was looking at a video on Youtube of my childhood local one yesterday, which I think would make a nice picture.

I watched him to Burnley and yes, a good programme. I shall look for the next one this evening.

Watched the first two of the canal boat series, it was fun spotting familiar places. It’s like going somewhere by train, a whole new vision is seen.

[Stanley]

I agree and they never spend enough time on the things that we recognise!
Watched him again last night.....

[Wendyf]

I watched 2 in a row last night having missed Tuesday's. Wonderful to see the big working barges on the Aire Calder Navigation. It will be interesting to see the trip from York to Ripon.

[Gloria]

We will watch the last two when we have an hour to spare.

[Stanley]

I was on the Aire and Calder with him last night.
What struck me is that instead of a DIY series done with Go-Pro, if they had invested in doing it properly this could have made a really good in-depth series about the North of England.

But then they would have to get a celebrity to do it!

[Stanley]

I hadn't thought of that Wendy, you're right!

[Big Kev]

Metallica with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, recorded from Sky Arts last night, is going down well at Chez Kev this morning.

[Wendyf]

The all new Time Team is very good, so much new technology! Watch it on YouTube, the first episode is here:-

[Gloria]

Watched the last two of the canal boat series tonight, very easy to watch and enjoyable programme.

[Stanley]

I shall have a look at Time Team....... Mind you I shall miss Carenza!

[Wendyf]

No you won't miss Carenza Stanley, she is back and in charge!

[Stanley]

Oh goody! I always had a soft spot for her and she was the one who, with Mick Aston, injected the solid archaeology into the programme. Otherwise, as Mick Aston said once, there was too much 'pratting about'!

[Stanley]

I watched Dig 1 last night and it's brilliant! Just like it used to be in the old days before Tony Robinson developed into a 'presenter' and started bouncing round like a Duracell bunny being 'funny'. (Do you remember him being pulled up by Phil over his 'joke' about Phil's doctorate?) And that wally from the fens who sounded authoritative on everything but was surprised to find in Manchester that you could date a building from the type of mortar.
All the old faces are there and Carenza has aged well! I am a happy bunny!
