I’ll be giving that a spin. Eddie Marsan’s presence is a positive for me.

Watched an hour of the Savile doc. :chin: :shocker:

Frankly it's easy to see how so many people including our royal family were unaware of his antics in the early years. A very clever and manipulative man.

Just finished Series 7, the final one, of Bosch on Amazon Prime. I have never read the books, but really enjoyed the tv shows. Easy watching with some interesting characters. Would recommend.

Finished watching Savile. Such a depressing account about a wholly defective monster of a human being. I had forgotten until yesterday that my grandmother died at Stoke Mandeville hospital in 1976, when she was visiting us from NYC. That he was probably there conducting his horrors is nauseating.

The common folk, I think.

Public relations?

I'd be gutted to think someone like Diana knew JS was such a monster and just sat by and let it happen. :(

You raise a good point there, eggy.

It's very likely that none of them knew to be fair. He was a clever, manipulative, evil nonce, after all.

Been watching “We Crashed” on Apple TV. - it’s a biopic on the rise and fall of We Work staring Jared Leto & Ann Hathaway.

3 episodes in and have found it thoroughly entertaining so far. - I found it to be of a similar vein to the social network in terms of pace, style and soundtrack.

Started watching at lunch, soon realised I should have done a S5 refresher. Then had to stop it when the Mrs come into the room - because you know - I care more about what so and so said and where such and such went over the weekend. :arry:

Yeah, wish I'd done a refresher, too.

Annoyingly though, only two episodes available, the swines!!

Excellent stuff though, straight back in with a bang, getting ever closer to the Breaking Bad crossover.

Now I have to wait a week to watch more...

Restricted ourselves to just ep1 last night.

I like how they don't fill up the first 5 minutes with any kind of recap.

All the main players had a segment of the show.

Love it already.

There was a two hour documentary on Sky a couple of months ago about this story and it was very entertaining too.

At the time they were at their peak I was working in the head office for their more established rival Regus and we were scratching our heads how the market value had got so exponentially high based on so few locations compared to ours, but this went some way to explaining the hype behind what was really a cult offering in the normally dull world of office rentals.
