Re: GOOD TV
ITVx is proving to be a happy hunting ground. I've finished Broadchurch and started on another oldie, Martin Clunes in Manhunt.
(I have the advantage that I have forgotten much of my earlier viewing!)

Re: GOOD TV
Enjoying the second Manhunt.....
I watched the afternoon session of Ronnie v. Mark Williams. See THIS for the BBC match report. Mark beat Ronnie 10-5 winning every one of the next seven games. Good job I wasn't watching...... I hate to see my heroes lose!

Re: GOOD TV
Watched 5th in the series of Passenger, it’s about the only programme that keeps us quiet, not a murmur except during the ads. Tonight is the last one, but also beginning tonight on ch5 is The Cuckoo, a four parter on consecutive nights, sounds good. Hope to catch up with the first one before the second one tomorrow.

Re: GOOD TV
I have started watching Under The Banner of Heaven on ITVx. If it's a true representation of life in a Mormon community, include me out!

Re: GOOD TV
Watched the last of Passenger, still as confused as I was at the beginning, practically no idea what was going on, and all of a sudden it’s ended

Re: GOOD TV
It's not but you have to to find out if they are any good. We have watched all of "This Town", loosely based on the rise of SKA & 2 Tone music around Coventry and Birmingham in the early 80's. We are currently watching series 2 of "Traces" on BBC1.

Re: GOOD TV
Fair enough - two good reasons to persist. They are just not my "cup of tea" and I have only myself to consider, so I tend make a very quick judgement.

Re: GOOD TV
My venture into ITVx continues and after 4 episodes of Under the Banner of Heaven I think I have grasped the plot. It's about the faults in Mormonism and the roots of the Sovereign Citizen movement and is frightening stuff. I'm glad I have never had to deal with it (And the added complication of everybody having access to firearms!)
So my excuse for persevering is education......

Watched the first two of The Cuckoo ch5, easy enough to watch and keeping the concentration. Third part tonight, last part tomorrow night.

Finished my Mormon stint last night..... It painted a bleak picture of life in Utah in the bosom of the Church of Latter Day Saints......

Re: GOOD TV
I watched an hour long video of Indian foundry workers making the mould, casting and planing the body of a large lathe. Like looking back into the 19th century because that's the vintage of the technology they are using.
Could they unwittingly be giving us a clue to what's wrong with our productivity? Is the answer to keep things simple? Have we got too clever for our own good?

Re: GOOD TV
I keep forgetting to post that I have just finished reviewing series 1&2 of Blue Lights..... Really enjoyed it and I have an idea there is a third series. Also of course the snooker to fall back on.....

Re: GOOD TV
We have just finished season 2 of that also Stanley. Ended on an "up" rather than the shock "downer" of the first series. I hope there is another series the characters and side stories have lots of potential mileage in them yet.

Re: GOOD TV
I decided to watch Line of Duty again and started last night. I think it was perhaps the best police drama ever..... Like Gloria I have the advantage that I have forgotten most of the plot so it is all new to me!
