What did you watch last night?

[Coops]

Is he a Hammer, your nephew?

Yes, season ticket holder.

[Eastcote]

The Warship tour of duty on bbc2. Nothing like Sailing lots of swearing. Bloke called Lambert comes across as a right twat. Good viewing but ........

Blasphemy!

Why’s that Ralph out of interest?

[OFT]

Blasphemy!

Why’s that Ralph out of interest?

No shoot outs, no scenes of rapid machine gun fire and aged overweight police officers running across the rooftops and chucking hand grenades about etc. Etc. :winker

I thought it was superb as it happens

Sad the young lad who died.Sod that isolation 8 people in a small cabin for 10 days knowing that if 1 tested positive they start the ten days over again

[simonpaulthomas]

Definitely feeling a bit underwhelmed with that ending to Happy Valley - I think it had too many things to wrap up, and did them all far too quickly.

I'd enjoyed all the previous episodes and it was building up nicely for a Grand Finale but nothing really happened.
We knew Tommy had to die but the whole episode just trundled along and lacked excitement.
A lot of these dramas tend to fizzle out and this was another.

[smuts]

Thought HV was great. What a show that was.

[OFT]

I loved the fact that the circles in which he moved ultimately led to his downfall.
Less is often more and it certainly was for me.

I thought the exact opposite. The show didn’t need a massive shoot out or big explosions. And imo, stuck to what the show has been great at, the writing and relationships between the characters.

[simonpaulthomas]

I did appreciate it ended how it started.

[smuts]

They could have done a big siege style episode with Tommy sneaking around the house they were staying in picking off the supporting characters etc but it's never been that kind of show.

Sarah Lancashire might as well just start rearranging her mantlepiece for the Bafta now.

Yep, thought it was a great ending to one of the best British shows of the last 20 years.

[DaveWHU1964]

Lancashire might as well just start rearranging her mantlepiece for the Bafta now.

Absolutely, and James Norton matched her brilliance in that last episode - just superb writing for the scene they shared. Out of character for him on the face of it, but it actually felt believable and well yeah, right. That was down to Norton and that script. Norton's performance, reflecting frailty and vulnerableness rather than murderous evil, also meant that I doubt that I was the only one rooting for him in the scene with the three who had been sent to kill him

[westham,eggyandchips]

At least HV didnt have a ridiculous Line of duty type ending. 7/10

I was convinced Lancashire's character or one of her relatives were going to get killed though.

[smuts]

Only quibbles was a few sub plots like her ex going after the gang villain, the teacher and pharmacist just didn't go anywhere or were resolved by a few lines of dialogue by other characters.

[Up the Junction]

The 2022 special of The Detectorists. Smashing little series, that.

[sword]

Happy Valley: turned to Mrs. Sword halfway through, "This is going to ****, ain't it?".
A shame, as it could have been sublime.
Highlight for me was Tommy Lee's change of perspective with regard to Cawood, yet she didn't waiver a jot, if anything it enhanced her resilient loathing of him.

The Detectorists: easily my most favourite TV thing for years, got hooked on the very first episode. Can imagine it may be too slow for some.

[The Terminator]

He featured loads in episode one, couple of times he was seen wearing a Millw*nk shirt but he's from Essex so that seemed a bit odd.

I've never seen it but people keep telling me I would love it, maybe I should give it a go.
