Film and TV review.

Anyone been watching intercity 125 on channel 5?

I can’t get enough of it.

Was a lovely train.

A Very English Scandal about Jeremy Thorpe is well worth watching, especially for those of us who were there in the 60's and remember much of it.

It comes across as a black comedy and really captures the era well. Very entertaining.


BBC 1 9pm

Watched the first episode,and really enjoyed it. Two men snogging always makes me feel uncomfortable, but we were guests in their house,and just let them get on with it. 
I'm sure they'll watch it on catch up.

Men snogging creeps me out too!!!UGH!!!!!

Patrick Melrose is a must watch.   Benedict Cumberbatch is brilliant in the role.

Sky Atlantic 9pm Sunday night.

Part of the appeal is how perfectly the characters conform to people’s ideas of what the British aristocracy is like: charming polite and completely screwed up

It really is exceptional, watching the 3rd of 5 tonight on catch-up.

It's also interesting to see Holly Grainger who plays Robin in J K Rowling's " Strike" in a totally different role.

Anyone else watching this?

What a shock, she isn't a nice person.

Some great stuff on BBC4 at the moment.

Big Sky,Big Dreams,Big Art.  American art from the wild west to abstract expressionism, and Tap America: How a nation found its feet.

Got to love BBC4.

I'm afraid not.

I gave it 10 minutes out of respect to you.

Your choice sucked.

I suspect most people are just watching BGT this week.

10 minutes is not good enough for anything worth while,  as you well know.

The first episode is a very hard watch and my patience was wearing thin, but it really is worth staying with.

Has anyone been watching 'The Blacklist'? The last episode of this season was a game changer, absolutely brilliant!

I've been watching a show called "Lucifer" on Amazon Prime and I was genuinely gutted that they cancelled it last week. It's been between good and utterly brilliant so far and it really deserves a fourth season. What makes it even harder to understand Fox's decision to bin it is the fact the ratings were climbing not falling AND the season 3 finale has a brilliant cliff hanger ending that's just begging to be resolved. In my opinion it's the dumbest cancellation since "Firefly" and even less explicable since it's got a huge worldwide audience on various streaming services as well as the many millions who've viewed it on Fox directly. I doubt advertisers felt they were wasting their money buying spaces during Lucifer so why can it when it's doing so well?

Mortimer and Whitehouse GONE FISHING, really worth watching.

10pm on BBC2 tonight.

Do watch rest of series on catch-up.
