Colditz (1972/3)
I've been slowly watching this classic series over the last few months and watched the final two episodes of series one last night. Great stuff. Good stories, well told, some fine actors, plus plenty of German guards with tunnel vision and hearing problems.

Tangentially related, was privilleged to stay with one of the guys who'd been a "guest" at the great escape camp. An extremely interesting chap, who'd afterwards had a political career in Australia. He did say much of the film details such the dumping tunnel mud out of trousers thing was true, albeit no americans in the camp. His turn / number was only a few after those who escaped - and were mostly shot - so he was lucky to have had to stay put. He'd been shot down in 1940 and spent the whole war as a prisoner.

I’ve finished watching all the Game of Thrones episodes to date. Loving it. Can’t wait for the next and final series.

Who is America - 7/10
New characters from Sasha Baron Cohen interviewing Americans. The first three characters were vaguely amusing, an alt news guy, an alternative lifestyle guy having dinner with pro Trump conservatives and a reformed con who made art out of his excretions, but the last one was unbelievable: an Israeli former soldier who has set up a programme to arm kids. Worth watching for that alone as it is both hilarious and horrifying.

Good Girls - Netflix.
Three suburban ladies need a little extra cash so rob a store - but some of the money "belongs" to a local crime gang and so they have to repay it. Having established a connection they are slowly drawn into doing jobs for the gang and find themselves in ever deepening waters.
Not great - but not bad especially if you become attached to the three lead characters.

Mortimer and Whitehouse - Gone Fishing
"What are you watching? Fishing?"
"Not really honey, it's more just Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse having a chat and doing jokes."
"Oh right. Why have they got to be hurting fish while they do that?"
"Well, they've not caught anything yet."
"No, but they're trying to."
The exceptional and wonderful logic of SophRM there.
Anyway, the show itself is good fun. Sort of like a real life Detectorists.

I was hesitant too, normally I find that sort of show indulgent claptrap, but it really is just two pals having fun and taking you along with them.
I've got to catch up with that, I quite liked it. Paul Whitehouse's impression of Michael Caine in the ball pool was excellent. "Go on, throw the blue one. Now throw the red one..." In general thought I thought it was good, though I'm still not a fan of Bob Mortimer's humour but at least I find he's human
