What TV are you watching?

[Richard A Thackeray]

First hour or so, of 'Queen Of Speed'

A Sky-Arts(?) documentary about the career of Michele Mouton, I've got to her joining FIAT (1979/1980)
I'll probably watch the rest tonight

There was one section, where they were at the Portugese Rally, & they're complete mentalists!!
Trying to touch the cars as they went past

Cue, a film clip, where the mechanics were picking portions of fingers off the inner-wing/air-cleaner!!
(presumably, the fools had got their digits caught in the gap, between the wing-top &bonnet!!!)

I could photograph the screen!?

working our way through Close to me.. its not bad, quite compelling in places, occasionally a tad tricky to follow when it jumps between past present and dreams. arguably a couple of episodes too long as it can move quite slowly in laces, but overall a decent watch.

Liking Guy's Garage too

 

[MontyVeda]

Thoroughly enjoying Foundation (based in Isaac Asimov's books)... slow to start, really picks up from episode five ...and like all good sci-fi, it looks fantastic!

Two episodes to go

Close to me was about three hours too long for me - and the 'dreams' part annoying.

Now Showtrial on BBC is proving really good after the first three episodes. Infinitely better than CTM.

Having exhausted the superb Spiral and replaced it some time back with the equally top hole The Bridge, we're now just beginning the final season. As with Spiral, be a shame when that ends. The autistic detective is such a brilliant premise, you wonder why it took so long. And she plays it to perfection. "Shall we have sex now?"

Other than that we've recently adopted as our Sunday evening wallow the new series of All Creatures, which somehow manages to be even hammier than the original despite not having Robert Hardy, but carries it off with style, enthusiasm and a real sense of fun. Strangely, unless the plot specifically demands otherwise, Yorkshire seems to bathe in golden sunlight pretty much all the time. When I went it was raining. Still I suppose that's the point of programmes like All Creatures - to be sort of like life, but better.

It pretty much does - the sun shines on the righteous.

a meteorological explanation is the prevailing westerly winds dropping all their rain on Lancashire / the Lakes and the Pennines, so when it gets to Yorkshire (past the pennines) there is little moisture left to fall.

I absolutely loved Spiral....watched it from the very start and have watched all eight seasons again ! That's one of the good things about getting older my lack of memory 😁

house on peacok
babylon 5 on prime

Bab 5 is one of the few truly great sci fi epic series. There's scarcely a dud episode and the whole build up of menace of the back story, and the way the characters grow and develop is really rather special. For me other "greats" of this type are Battlestar Galactica remake and Farscape

 

[fossyant]

The Expanse Season 6 is back today - Prime ! One episode a week.

'Along for the Ride' on Chanel 4. It's on every Monday at 10pm.

 

[yello]

Mary Kills People is an intriguing watch, shot full of plot holes but captivating nonetheless due both to its subjective matter* and the 'cat and mouse' tussles. It both prequels and echos (or should I just say continues?) the dark themes you'll find in more popular shows.

* assisted suicide - surprising (to me) that the program even got made, let alone lasted 3 series. I would have expected a moral outcry that might have caused its cancellation. It asks searching questions that many would prefer not even asked, let alone to consider.
