Wonderful acting from Curran and Jensen and a phenomenal 80s soundtrack from Joy Division, New Order, Cocteau Twins, TJAMC, Shop Assistants, The Fall etc. No yer usual 80s shite like Curiosity Killed the Cat, Jonny Hates Jazz, Swing Out Sister etc. second this...although I watched it the day after a really heavy night out and was greeting most of the way through it thinking "aboot ma pals". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzydunlop Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Really enjoyed the first episode of Happy Valley. Great script and Sarah Lancashire is top notch and a role she was born to play. Looking forward to seeing where it finishes...just a shame the Beeb wont let us binge watch it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember her as Racquel the ditzy barmaid in Corrie. At one time she was going out with a footballer and heard that he'd scored an own goal. The regulars wound her up by telling her it was a really good thing that meant he'd scored it without any assists from other players, so when she congratulated him on it he thought she was taking the piss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Watched all of The Rig the other day. a good start before it kind of loses its way a bit. Bonus point for having Scottish people speak like Scottish people and not like that Real Guy sketch from Burnistoun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched three episodes as I thought it was only three in series and as I'd wasted two hours my life what was one more......dire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season 3 looks as if it will be good as well Meryl Streep has joined the cast. Can only be a good thing… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I'm four episodes into The Rig and actually quite enjoying it. Not what I was expecting and it's daft as f**k yet tries to take itself too seriously but still enjoyable 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Couldn't see a thread for it, but I've just watched 2 seasons of The White Lotus on Sky and its absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I've watched Black Books on All4 after watching it once ages ago. I identify very strongly with Bernard (minus the wine and fags). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 The original TV series of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is on the iPlayer, and it hasn’t aged a bit. Up there with Boys from the Black Stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkieRR Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I'm a bit slow and having missed it first time around I've been watching Spooks from the start on iPlayer. Just seen an episode (from 2009) where an explosion at a gas plant leaves the UK short of gas and the Government has to order power cuts. There are high jinks as they try to negotiate a gas deal with a dodgy fictional Central Asian -istan that's actively taking out political opponents in the UK. The deal fails but happily the Americans arrange for the UK to get a good deal on Russian gas. Yay! That'll end well... No mention at any point of Global Warming. I did wonder at one point if the Home Sec (Robert Glenister) was going to announce, 'We're just going to have to swallow our pride and buy in windpower from the bleedin' Jocks.' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Watched 'The Fire Within', on iPlayer last night. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001d7lc/storyville-the-fire-within Documentary film and requiem by Werner Herzog about Katia & Maurice Krafft, French scientists / vulcanologists / filmmakers. Beautiful, tragically sad and well worth 90 mins. of your time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
