Havent seen it in an age but it brings back some many lovely memories of a certain vintage .

Very, very, very good film. Nothing beats a biopic.
Yeah, my first time. I obviously knew of the bands before but had no idea of their back stories.

Greg Davies is one of those rare people who doesn’t appear to have done anything I don’t like. His TV shows have always made me laugh, his stand up (You Magnificent Beast, being the pinnacle) have always hit the spot too

I’m really looking forward to watching this as I really enjoyed the last two series. I’ll also be extremely bias as I’m originally from Canada but curious to see where they end up throughout the journey.

the past two nights

Lewis (revisited)

Season 1 e00 (pilot) and e01

Oxford is a brilliant location for the series (and Morse of course).

coming home from wherever he was seconded, comes out of the airport with Hathaway and nearly gets run over by a red Jag......

follows along from the Morse run along with several references to him especially in the first episode where he picks up a case where initially on a different but related case, Morse was the lead detective. loads of crossword references, etc.

it doesn't seem dated at all, good cast, decent stories a la Morse, why wouldn't it be ?

tried and trusted formula updated a little to align with the years that have passed.

if you've done Endeavour, and Morse but haven't tried Lewis, it's the same "safety first" telly that occupies a nice 90 minutes....

Champions, Woody Harrelson sports comedy where he coaches a basketball team of kids with learning difficulties. Refreshingly unpatronising, uncheesy and smartly executed stuff, with some extraordinarily charismatic performances from the “Friends” squad. Excellent soundtrack from one Michael Franti. Highly recommended.

Started Yellowjackets on paramount+ after recommendation from work colleague.

Episode 1 - really not sure what this is, seems like a teen drama, was exceptionally slow in getting going. Will give episode 2 a go before deciding if I should continue. (Some ted lasso style annoying ‘soccer’ stuff as well.)

Still laughing at Succession where Greg bought "Bridget Random f***" to Logan's party and Tom roasted him about the size of her "ludicrously capacious" handbag :lol:

Started watching a show called How To Get Away With Murder last night.

A series from a few years back starring Viola Davis about a lawyer & law students. Pretty good.

Yes, if I was able to fly that far - I mean I could, but can't stand the idea of if - I would definitely go to Canada.

The other place I want to go to is the top part of Japan.

The final part, 3 of 3 of Tyrant, ~ The rise of Adolph Hitler and his attack on Poland, in an almost minute by minute countdown of this blitzkrieg attack and which led to Britain and France's declaration of war. I learnt something new, Hitler who felt all along, we were bluffing misread between the lines and had conducted many meetings with both the British and Polish ambassadors to Germany in the lead up to the attack and realised he had led his country into war and that it would be a long and bloody campaign

Loving this

Kind of don't want to rush it.

The tall, dark haired cop - female - is stealing the show for us, at the moment. Great actor.

I think I watched the first series and I remember it being a convoluted mess. The plot progresses at lightning pace to stop you from thinking about what's just happened. Good tactic really :D

Joe Lycetts late show, too brummy for my liking but whatever.

Re: scenery on tv, it’s usually trees, mountains and rivers, a bit of snow and sky. Now I’ve been a few places and seen a fair few combinations of said scenery and it doesn’t really give me the horn, especially once you’ve seen it on a massive tv it means you don’t need to go anywhere irl!
