Said it before but I think actors/people outwith Scotland don't realise that even a tiny wee area like Scotland has a very wide range of accents. Just rolling your 'R's' doesn't make for a convincing Scottish accent.
Best Scottish accents I have heard are Johnny Lee Miller in Trainspotting and the boy from Kickass that played Douglas in The Outlaw King.

Plenty of crap to choose from for the worst, one that sticks out because it was on recently(ish) was the billy boys one from Peaky Blinders. Awful.

Ewen Bremner didn’t even know Johnny Lee Miller was English until they met up in London after filming had finished.

Finished The Thick Of It for the first time. It was good apart from the second-last episode (the inquiry one). 

Yea thought the last season was the worst and that episode was maybe the worst which is why it's baffling to me that they went with the exact same format in, I think, Season 4 of Veep as well. 

Still a great show all in tho.

There’s some hilarious lines from the inquiry such as Stewart’s lust for life bit and Terri being a blockage but overall it’s not great, it’s just a bit too long. The whole show is excellent, you could quote it all day. Strange that the most likeable politician is Mannion the Tory. The vast majority of them are useless and/or c***s. Glenn is about the soundest of them all and I’d like to see all of Malcolm’s threats over the years happen to Adam at once.

Glenn going Glental is the absolute highlight of the final series

Watched two episodes of the most deranged shit I've ever seen, Marriage or mortgage. Couples with their own money saved get shown around some houses and have weddings planned for them then have to choose which they want. Full of folk spending 30k on a wedding with a ranch dip fountain before having to cancel the whole thing for Covid

Anyone watched Murder Among the Mormons? Crazy story, a really good 3 part documentary. I had my jaw on the floor for large parts

Enjoyed it a lot.

I also really enjoyed Age of Samurai: Battle for Japan.  It seems quite niche, and then you fear it might be terrible, but turns out to be fascinating.

Is it worth a watch? Like you, I've thought it surely has to be terrible but it would be my shit if it was good.

It’s absolutely fascinating.  The first minute makes you think it’s going to be an awful US docu-drama, but the recreation scenes are pretty good, the narration kept to an absolute minimum, and the historians are really insightful.  I really, really enjoyed it.  Edit: it’s pretty graphic in places, for whatever that’s worth.

F1 survive to drive is outstanding television. 

Yeah. I find it more enjoyable than the actual F1.  All the politics and sniping going on that you never find out about when watching the races.

Watched the first 2 episodes of S3.  Lawrence Stroll seems like a guy that doesn't suffer fools gladly :lol:

And I really want to dislike Christian Horner, but there is something of the Alan Partridge about him that you can't help but like.

eta: And already, again, Daniel Ricciardo is the biggest bell end in the paddock.
