I watched the last episode of line of duty and thought that was good. Undercover has finally grabbed by attention. I quite like some of the investigative programmes Stacey Dooley does. However I can't wait for the next series of people just do nothing.

Finished off Vikings this weekend. Sad times now it's finished.
Also polished off the rest of Tehran. Excellent stuff, looking forward to the next series.


yes also finished off Vikings

Kingdom worth a go on Netflix if your into historical Korean Zombie epics.

Plenty of over acting!!!

Spiral - I've watched the previous 7 series, and I'm 1/2 way through the final series, so I obviously enjoy it, but I have to say that there is always at least one completely implausible event that takes place (often involving Gilou) that is completely and utterly daft, out of character or just wouldn't happen in a million years.

Fantastic to see JP getting half-a-dozen lines in the final series. He normally just stands around in the background, and pops up on a scooter or motorbike towards the end of the final episode, where he says something like, "Okay" in response to an order. This time around, I feel his character has been allowed to develop and we really know him now. I bet my wife 50p that JP would have more than 5 lines in this series, so it's been a nice little earner too.

One entirely believable feature of the new series is that the children's home is a shabby old barracks, the cops are in a tin shed on a trading estate, and the lawyers have a gleaming new marble tower.

The new series isn't doing much for the French hotel industry.

But has it ever? I’ve always thought that Spiral was like the reverse of an advert for tourism to Paris.

That's true, but I won't ever stay in a Paris hotel without wondering if the mules have been there before me.

I've been watching it too this lockdown following recommendations on here. It's win-win as I can kid myself it's educational too as I'm remembering some French from back in the day. Although i think I'm learning more swear words than actually revising the language of Proust. Putain.

Just started Ozark after some recomendations on here. I'm on episode 3 and really enjoying it.
I'm at work so I'll have to watch more tonight.

Finished Spiral and Kingdom loved both.

As well as giving JP some lines they should have brought Tintin back for a final 'Tintin. Gilou allez!'

Working my way through Ozark and finding it very watchable. Spiral is an absolute must for us and I'll miss it in the future - love the gritty realism and the fact that they're often pleasantly incompetent, nearly all their stake-outs fail for one reason or another. I'm very happy with subtitles, speaking of which, I've just started on Call my Agent - looks very promising.

I’ve just seen The Dig on Netflix about the Sutton Hoo excavation in Suffolk. It’s a bit corny in places with some unnecessary subplot, but it looks great and Ralph Fiennes in particular is terrific. He looks strangely like Bobby Charlton these days. In real life, his character was actually five years younger than Carey Mulligan’s.

I also saw the John DeLorean BBC documentary, which was an unnecessarily gimmicky telling of an amazing story. Yikes, Roy Hattersley isn’t looking well.

A bit of trivia

My aunt was a nurse in LA and some times worked in the jails (not prison)

She met Richard Ramirez a number of times doing her job.
Said he use to try and wind up the cops/guards asking if they wanted his autograph, said he was proper evil.

The BBC are showing a bit of a Simon Reeve Greatest hits retrospective at the moment, and I've always loved his shows, so I'm enjoying watching those. I can't work out whether I have a crush on him or whether I just really want to be his mate, but I reckon he'd be a ridiculously interesting bloke to go for a beer with. Seems like a thoroughly good egg. And he's from Acton, so he might even be Rangers.

This looks brilliant, Konk. Thanks man, I'm really into Travel stuff at the moment.

Enjoying ZeroZeroZero on sky Atlantic. It’s all about a cocaine deal between the narcos in Mexico and mafia in Italy. It’s by the writers of Gomorrah.

Well, it was ok but a bit over-rated to my mind. Too much on relationships and felt they could have included some interesting technical detail or potentially generated more excitement from the actual excavations. Of course there were some inaccuracies and anachronisms although that's no big deal - but the more you look, the more you find?

Seen Ralph Fiennes on stage and he is indeed a terrific actor.

I haven't watched The Dig but I have been to Sutton Hoo.

A tip for anyone who plans to go (when it is open and we are allowed to, obs): While it is interesting, the bulk of the treasures are actually in the British Museum, although there are very impressive replicas at Sutton Hoo.

Used to be my all time favourite series, might still be but having watched so much in the last year, it's hard to say. I started re-watching the series again many years ago and I think I got up to series 3 when something else distracted me. I also tried watching it on C4 when they re-ran it but the adverts just ruined it for me so had to stop. The last episode of series 2 where it closes out to Brothers in Arms, is still up there as one of the best season finales.

Might be worth a thread, "music and non related video combine to elevate both to a different level". like Nessun Dorma and Italia 90, best demonstrated in Kevin Allen's World cup video diary.

I remember watching the Kevin Allen thing at the time and enjoying it. I'll give that a watch later, thank you. I'm sure you know, but he's Keith Allen's brother (but I don't think he's Fulham - boo!).

I'm running out of things to watch so I caved in and shelled out to download the first series of Deadwood. Master Sheen can't believe his ears - they were allowed to talk like that on TV?
As an aging git, I tend to rely on subtitles for mumbly bits of shows, particularly when someone is working in the kitchen. No subtitles on Deadwood - if ever a series deserved and needed them...

I'm really enjoying Wander Vision on Disney+, slow to get going but is now the highlight of my week when a new episode comes out. I have become a bit of a Marvel Geek though so you probably need to have watched all the films to enjoy it.
