GOOD TV

I didn't think they were all on All4 yet.... Must have another look.

[Gloria]

We are quietly trolling through Death in Paradise, on series 3 or 4 now, can’t remember which, it was last night we watched it, and I’ve forgotten . Easy viewing for a Friday night when there’s not much else on.

[PanBiker]

I didn't think they were all on All4 yet.... Must have another look.

It's where I watched them all last week. You may have to scroll down a bit.

Wimbledon mens final today, right looking forward to this one.

[Wendyf]

Who will you support Gloria? I don't like either of them!

[Stanley]

Neither do I Wendy. I have a feeling it might be a very bad tempered contest and that may be more detrimental to Djokovic than the Australian......

[Gloria]

Who will you support Gloria? I don't like either of them!

Djokovic I think, but I like the underdog to do well.

[Wendyf]

Kyrgios isn't looking like an underdog right now!

[Gloria]

Kyrgios isn't looking like an underdog right now!

No he isn’t, it’s a very good game, my money is still on Djokovic.

[Tripps]

He's reverting to type and arguing and swearing at the umpire. It's called the Gentlemens Singles Final, but not when he's playing.

I think he needs the conflict to motivate him, but it's not attractive.

Come on Tim. . . .

[Wendyf]

I gave up watching, couldn't cope! Just turned it back on in time for the winning point. I'd bring back Borg....

[Gloria]

Didn’t enjoy his swearing, but enjoyed the game.

Undeclared War on Channel 4 or to be more precise via All 4 The Channel 4 on demand or catchup service is not available on my not quite smart enough TV. I have to access it via the computer or my phone. No problem as we have a Chromecast adaptor plugged into the TV so I can cast any of the programmes from my phone. We missed the first episode when it went out last week so we will watch the lot via the phone.

It tells the tale of a Russian cyber attack on Open Reach with a hidden payload in the malware. GCHQ is set on task and it takes a young Computer Science student on a work placement to spot part of the hidden code. Simon Pegg is the controller of GCHQ and Mark Rylance one of the old school crypto analysts from pre Cheltenham days. Students to the rescue of the "old and very white men" description of the GCHQ staff by the mentor of the Asian lass.

Just into episode 4, very good viewing so far.

For the first time in my life I watched a complete Men's Final. As Gloria says, very good tennis from both of them but but Kirgious spoiled it by claiming attention like a spoiled kid. The commentators kept excusing his behaviour on the grounds he was very highly strung. Nonsense! He was deliberately trying to throw Djokovic off his stride but failed. His antics were a disgrace and he should not have been allowed to continue.
Henman made a telling remark afterwards. He said that tournament directors all over the world wanted him in their contests as he was a crowd-puller. That could be why they let him get away with it.

[Gloria]

Henman is right Stanley, you only had to listen to the crowd when he was winning a point, they were willing him to win.

The Undeclared War is enjoyable, onto episode 6 this evening.

[Stanley]

A treat in store, I have only watched the first episode.....

[Stanley]

I forgot to mention that I caught 'The Railway Children' on BBC2 on Sunday. Still a good film and so nice to have local places on the screen....

[Gloria]

We watched the first of a four nighter on ch5 last night, Witness Number 3, not the easiest of watches but it is good.

We don’t watch series as we always forget to watch the next episode. Especially difficult when we go to France, we have no CATCH UP and no way of recording an episode to watch later. We stick to one offs, history programmes, travel programmes, even house hunting as you get to see nice scenery and sometimes a bit of local history, and the usual Vera etc. We still have not seen all episodes of Vera, it had been on for a couple of series before we started watching. I admit to liking SOAPS, such easy watching, no major thought processes needed

[PanBiker]

We are watching The Control Room, last of three tonight. Talk about a bloke digging a hole!

[Tizer]

This Horizon programme is worth watching for the amazing technology and how they got the James Webb Telescope folded up to fit into a small space for the rocket flight and then to unfold all its mirror faces when it arrived at its destination and its 5-layered heat shield too. Very impressive.

We used to watch Horizon but to be honest haven’t done for a very long time .
