As she does not have Sky in her house, my daughter sometimes watches that KarKrashian pish when she visits me and her mum. I just ignore it and browse about here when it is on. She is here today but she is watching something different.

Total Divas!! :eek::eek::eek:

The guest on this week's Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast was Tom Davis. I'd never heard of him prior to that, and I hadn't heard of Murder in Successville, the thing that Mr Davis is supposedly famous for. So obviously, I jumped on YouTube and tracked it down. What a perfect bit of comedy -- celeb guests trying to solve murders in a town inhabited by impersonated famous people. Genuinely laugh out loud funny. Every time Gordon Ramsay starts bouncing on his heels shouting "No!" I lose it. Or Jimmy Carr who only communicated in his ridiculous laugh. Brilliant stuff. So disappointed it only seemed to last for twelve episodes.

I've just started watching Murder In Successville. Shame you can only get the second series on the iplayer but Vicky Pattison and Chris Kamara were brillant.

I watched the Agatha Christie's "Witness for the Prosecution" the other night.  It's a bit slow in parts but much darker than the Miss Marple shite we usually think of, has a decent twist in the plot plus has Toby Jones giving an acting masterclass.  Still on iPlayer and well worth a look.

I watched it last week. I didn't really like it much though, a bit too dark for my liking in that it was mainly unrelenting misery for all characters involved!

ETA - I agree with you about Toby Jones though, terrific actor.

There was that 20 minutes of joy when the TJ character had a burgeoning legal practice, had shaved off his tash and took his wife on an expensive holiday to France.  A brief moment in the sun.

As for Toby Jones himself...I just 'googled' him and he did the voice-over for Dobbie in the Harry Potter films.  This I did not know.

I must admit that I thoroughly enjoy watching Michael Denzil Xavier Portillo presenting Great British Railway Journeys on BBC 2.  It's informative, enjoyable viewing with an excellent presenter who has a wonderful array of colourful Jackets.

It's amazing how much less of a c**t you become when you leave politics behind.

I didn't know that either.

Yeah I love his shows, the European ones as well. He comes across really well and actually seems alright for a Tory [emoji6]

I loved his Scottish and US trips.  I also like his jaikets.

It's impossible to watch him now and not think "Saint Mirren" though.

Should commission a series for him out in India, that would be a cracking view.

Indian Railways is a rich topic.  Top Gear and Michael Palin have both had features on it.  We also had that vacuous wid, Anita Rani, do a piece on Mumbai station.

Oor Michael is different, though.  I'd love to see him on an Indian journey as he seems just such a nice bloke.  Hope he puts pads under his armpits as we'd hate to see sweaty oxters ruining his jackets.
