GOOD TV

[Gloria]

You are right Ian, I couldn't help but watch it.

I agree, it's got a lot better.

[Stanley]

I have been avoiding it. Perhaps I should take a look.....

Do have a watch, but stick with it, it does get better.

I watched 'The Cruel Sea' yet again last night. One of the great films.....

[Tripps]

Just watched Kate and Koji on ITV. Enjoyed it . Old fashioned sort of sitcom. No foul language, classy cast, and just a bit of politically incorrect edge. Good.

[Gloria]

Watched Penance earlier on catch up ch5, then watched tonight's, really worth a watch. Last one tomorrow night. Give it a watch.

[Stanley]

I watched the first four episodes of Line of Duty back to back. I am revising for when the new one arrives....

[Tripps]

Kate and Koji got as near as you can a 'rave ' review in the daily Mail. i think we have seen the birth of a classic?

[Stanley]

Talking of classics. I recommend everyone to go on Youtube and watch repeats of Yes Minister. You will not get much political insight but you might have a good laugh......

Likewise there are lots of past radio programmes on Radio 4 in BBC Sounds. For example, `Just a Minute' goes back a long way if you want something light-hearted. Michael Rosen's Word of Mouth episodes are interesting, as are Laurie Taylor's Thinking Allowed. Both presenters are pleasing to listen to.

[Stanley]

I find that reviewing back to back Line of Duty videos completely blanks out Covid19!

[Stanley]

Same again, brilliant series and erases the pandemic completely!

[Tizer]

This is great fun...
`Joanna Lumley’s Hidden Caribbean: Havana to Haiti' LINK

My solitary confinement has become a bit easier since I stumbled across the return of RPGTV on Channel 176 Freesat. Racing without a crowd, and keeping distance for the staff - but I can't see it continuing for long.

There's Chess on the web too - the candidates tournament to play Carlsen for the world title later in the year. Chess

[Stanley]

Never got into chess David, probably as well.
I was on Line of Duty again! That's my intellectual level.

[Gloria]

Watched the beginning of a new series on bbc1 last night, The Nest, looks like it could be good. Problem was, there seemed to be a lot of muttering going on, so we ended up clicking the subtitles on.

[Wendyf]

Couldn't cope with watching that, having been unable to have children ourselves I still find the issue painful after all these years.

[Stanley]

Commiserations Wendy. Life can be so unfair and what a wonderful mother you would have been.

[Wendyf]

Probably not!!

[Stanley]

We'll agree to differ...
I am still immersed on Line of Duty! (My next target will be Spooks!)

[Stanley]

More Line of Duty. What a good series that was!

[Big Kev]

I have been watchin The Durrells (My Family and other Animals) now it's on Netfix (no ad breaks). It's nice easy, funny watching.

[Gloria]

Watched Belgravia on catch up last night, easy watching, very Downton. Better than I thought it would be after the first one.

[Tripps]

Try Wayfarin' Stranger on BBC Scotland now. My music for the last 60 years. The high lonesome sound.

Wayfarin Stranger

PS - A bit disappointing, too much Ireland and Scotland. Next may be better - Appalachian. More to my taste. These are the sort of programmes that will vanish if the BBC stops being publicly funded.
