Was half-tempted to buy that, but "glad that's over" doesn't really sound like a ringing endorsement, yet you did watch it to the end ot seems. What's your assesment overall?

Penny Dreadful was excellent! At first I wasn't sold on the mash-up of characters, but once it settled down it was really well done. Dark, pretty true to the tone of the characters' source material, really good effects, camp and fun when it needed to be. Well worth a watch.

Might add it to the list. We've been addicted to Breaking Bad (finished), and Thrones (awaiting cheaper prices on the last season), but I got bored with Vikings, which was painfully plodding despite a good cast and production values. The Mrs is watching that when I'm away. Have got Boardwalk Empire to try next.

it started out better than it ended (IMO). The wild west stuff in series three i found tiresome, but enjoyed the London stuff. The final episode added insult to injury with that bog awful drawn out ending that went on for some twenty minutes instead of two. Overall assessment is... I've deleted all three series. Enjoyable enough but not a keeper.

Grand Designs returned for a new series last night.
I fully expected the build to fail dismally, and at first I seriously hated the couple, but their perseverance and quirks grew on me, and they ended up with one of my favourite houses.

I did find it a bit ironic that the overall message was one of environmental awareness and recycling, yet they opened the show having jetted off to Belgium for a look at the inspiration behind their tree-house concept.

Hunted is back. I really like the idea of the show, trying to disappear and live off grid, but they've introduced a bag of money as an incentive and put some ludicrous rules in place which spoils it for me.
I'd still like to participate in the show, because I reckon my escape plan is unbeatable.

Blakes 7 on kodi, fond memories but the special effects are cringe-worthy now.

If you're doing a full rewatch, it's quite fun to watch along with the Shake and Blake podcast;

I enjoyed rewatching it very much, although there are some shockers among the episodes. Colin Baker's turn as a villain (City at the Edge of the World) is very enjoyable though.

I find those sorts of effects utterly charming.

I'm still re-watching Fringe, and am on Season 4 of 5. This is really good SciFi.

wasn't aware it'd started.... but i will be.
I'm not a fan of game shows but I'm enjoying the nostalgia and unadulterated competitiveness of Go 8 Bit.

It is indeed riveting, and as I have a thing about Gillian Anderson, even more so. Me and my Mrs are recording the 3rd series ready to binge watch when it is finished.
