What TV are you watching?

First episode of the Train on BBC last night was quite good so will see how that develops.

Do you mean this? Nightsleeper

It sounds hilarious (although probably unintentional). I'm going to have to watch it

We watched the first three episodes last night. The premise is ok and it obviously draws heavily on other similar TV and movie plots (Speed, Under Siege 2 etc.). Some of the acting, and character interaction to drive the plot is a bit hard to swallow.

We did enjoy trying to work out which passengers are involved (possibly unwittingly) with the plot.

Six curly-crusted sandwiches out of ten.

I'm looking forward to it, I like techy mysteries and have fond memories of BBC attempts at stuff like this such as Bugs from the 1990s. I did think of Speed 2 and Under Siege 2 when I read about this, also Die Hard 4.0 where hackers can seemingly do anything.

We have grace to catch up on

I had to stop watching Grace due to John Simm's unconvincing 'detective' voice. Just talk normally!

Second episode of nightsleeper watched 👍

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Helen Skelton & Dan Walker
Yorkshire Great & Small

 

[Cathryn]

Anyone watching The Perfect Couple on Netflix? It’s SO good!

 

[Drago]

New series of Tulsa King.

 

[MontyVeda]

Totally Completely Fine... an Australian black comedy in which a young woman inherits a house close to a cliff top suicide spot and finds herself having to constantly talk people away from the edge. I'm two episodes in and am enjoying it so far.

 

[Gunk]

The Turkish Detective (Iplayer)

So far so good

Liked that a lot, new series of Slow Horses has started, excellent as usual

 

[geocycle]

Alan Bennett in The Abbey. Really old, ca. 1995, of his observations in Westminster Abbey. Lots of great dry whit.

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Yorkshire Great & Small, as I type
TiVo box set for 'Trucking Hell' & the new series opener for 'All Creatures Great & Small'
Some of you may have read my criticism of the narration on T H, even the damned programme menu is apalling
Spot the mistake!!!

I still need to catch up with series three if that, but yes, it is excellent.

Binge watched the rest of Totally Completely Fine tonight... utterly brilliant. Dark, witty, unpredictable, almost had me in tears.

Recorded from Thursday evening (Channel 4)

Abandoned Railways From Above

There will be a Yorkshire episode later in the series
I can’t remember where that’s meant to be

...

Watched series three of Slow Horses over two nights... bloody hell! I thought the first two series were good but that was above and beyond. 11/10.

have been watching the new series of Grace and Turkish Detective. Both very good.

Watched an episode of The Wives Ch5 I think, that's promising. Nightsleeper is on the list to watch, I've heard its entertaining if a bit far fetched.
