What TV are you watching?

1899, bl**dy awful !

I managed 6 episodes before giving up. I think the writers were challenging Lost and Sucker Punch for the 'we ain't got a clue what's gonna happen either' prize, and steaming ahead regardless. I did read the synopsis for the final episode of 1899 on Wikipedia I think the only saving grace for 1899 was it was axed after one series. Imagine if it went on and on and on, like Lost?!

currently enjoying Worlds' Most Dangerous Roads... but since i'm currently hooked on playing Snowrunner, the roads don't look that bad

Caught a repeat of an old Mock the Week. Very funny.

The BBC shouldn't be allowed to repeat it after they axed it though.

Either it's funny enough to make new series or it's not and you can't bung repeats on. Pah.

yeah but the Beeb is currently headed by a Tory donor, so the panel would all be suspended by now

Maybe it will get a reprieve after the next election ? :-)

The Cockfields.
On BBC iplayer.
A very gentle 3 part sit com with an all star cast.
Very British, well observed comedy. You can watch it all one sitting.

Binge watched Blue Lights and Redemption, both police dramas set in Ireland. Loved them both.

Bingeing on Succession. Before we start on season 4, we’re revisiting season 1-3, fantastic series.

Oh spooky. We watched it last night. There's a series 2 somewhere with a slightly different cast. Look forward to that appearing on the iPlayer.

Loved it...watched it twice now.Some great characters or maybe I shouldn't say that 🙄
Think McFadden was fave in our house,just the right amount of cringe.

Just started season 2, it's the first programme with not one single likeable main character in it, still very good though

Bobby Ball died in real life.

Bobby Ball died in real life.

Indeed. Sad.

There's a plot point in the first series that may be relevant.

What the fact that its shot in colour or that its the most ethnically diverse Kent village in the 1950s?

It's the same with dramas set in Northern Ireland. They usually feature people from ethnic minorities but it's about 99% white.

Robot Wars

Found S7 of the old series, there's a certain charm to Craig Charles and Jonathan Davies presentation that the later series didn't have, S7 was the one shown on Channel 5 after the BBC dropped it (for the first time).

Edit - Johnathan Pierce! I don't think the lead singer of Korn was the the commentator!

Spooks on the iPlayer. I'm on series 2 now from 2003. About 80 episodes to keep me busy !
