Just started on The Catch - C5. 1st episode is promising. decent cast.

Thanks for that I’ve just caught up on the first 2 episodes and enjoyed them. It’s back on again at 9pm.

The Catch.
Since when have cars had a pair of screw terminals under the back for connecting the power lead of a tracker to?

Not Happy Valley. I lost interest half way through the first episode because I couldn't remember enough of the previous series to follow it. Having discovered that the last series was 6 years ago, I'm not surprised.

more fool you then. Worth refreshing or reading series 1 and 2 plot summaries and starting again.

Riptide is being advertised as we watch the catch, so that could be next on the drama series list

Been enjoying Clarkson's Farm again. Would be interested in @mudsticks views on what he's been doing - or does she only post in that other place now?

The Sound of Music is based on fact and was adapted from the memoir of the young nun. It is a true story.
TBITSP was made up ... It may be a neat story but it is a lie.

The whole secrecy and creeping around in the dead of night, avoiding Nazis and heading out on foot over the Alps is a lie too. The real Von Trapps made no secret of their plan to leave Austria, and got on a train

Interesting fact, on a walking tour round Salzburg, the tour guide was pointing out the various places in the sound of music, after pointing out the direction they went in to escape she said it wasn’t the best thought out escape route as it led straight in to Germany

The Sound of Music is based on fact and was adapted from the memoir of the young nun. It is a true story.
TBITSP was made up by its Irish author over 2 days and although promoted as "a fable" is regarded by 75% of its millions of school age readers as true to life fact. In the book the young German boy is astonishingly untouched by nazi propaganda. It is a terrible book to introduce children to the topic and most historical authorities on the matter agree. Educational authorities and teachers seem to love it. It may be a neat story but it is a lie.

It’s not meant to be an historically accurate book, the tale basically introduces right and wrong, and puts the camp kommandant and his wife into the same position as parents in the camp, it’s supposed to get the kids thinking about what the Nazi’s were up to rather than be an accurate record

THIS IS TERRIBLE! I SHALL NEVER FORGIVE JULIE ANDREWS FOR HER LIES!!!

Fingers crossed for Airwolf

Its being repeated on Legends channel and is perfect 80's 'action fluff' for me when I get home from work, just off the bike, stuffing my face with the evening meal . Like Knight Rider, its got formulaic stories usually leading up to the big stunt set piece at the climax. But it doesn't matter, its escapist fun. I recall watching the pilot back in 1983...40 years ago!. Sad that the main cast are all gone now. Ernest Borgnine (Santini) 2012, Jan-Michael Vincent (Hawke) 2019 & Alex Cord ('Archangel') 2020. Even the chopper is no more - it was used as a rescue helicopter in Germany after the show but crashed in a thunderstorm. Jean Bruce Scott, 'Caitlin', is retired from acting but has been interviewed on YT about the show:

Oh ta. Wanted to watch that and forgot all about it. The program he made about EVs was a bit rubbish. I hope this is a bit more knowledgeable.
