Too much time on your hands if you're trying to spot the make of bike...in fact when she was trying to escape and taking the bike I was thinking leave it ffs....just run.

oh god, that was a "WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?" moment for me! Anyway, the reason for my interest is that the bike is the spitting image of my partner's Peugeot of about the same era.

And, now the first episode of James May & The Dull Mens Club (on 'Quest')

May has a nice house & garden/grounds
The Deer-scarer design, is a funny procedure

Just finished Line of Duty - a generally brilliant series but with a lacklustre ending. There’s rumour of a next series which I hope will return to form and wrap up some of the loose ends.

Completed the Ludwig series last night too. That was as intelligent and quietly amusing as you’d imagine it would be. Left open for a continuation too, so fingers crossed.

We've just finished the first series of "Supacell" on Netflix. Set in South London, it features a number of people who discover they have various special powers; the individuals being variously low level gangsters, a delivery driver, a nurse and so on and in the background a dodgy and ruthless secret spy organisation trying to get control of them. Granted this has been done before (many times) but this one is particularly well done with great script and naturalistic acting which helps suspend disbelief at the ridiculous premise. Couple of appealing things - mostly black cast, but this is for a genuine plot reason which emerges, and I liked they way some of them had decided Jamaican accents so a white boy like me had to concentrate.

Only a few mis-steps which didn't really matter at the end of the day, was how a delivery man and his social worker fiancee have a brand new Beemer and what seems like a £10M flat overlooking the Thames and likewise the unfeasible prosperity of you people doing ordinary jobs in London. Fair enough if she'd been a "quant" in the City or whatever but not a van driver and social worker. Similarly the spy headquarters and their behaviour was very corny though redeemed somewhat by the always excellent Eddie Marsden as one of their chiefs.

Anyhow we enjoyed it a lot, and we are looking forward to season 2 in due course.

That sounds like a rehash of the excellent C4 series 'Misfits' thought that was a more teenage/YA audience. I'll have to give this a go

Oh I didn’t realise Hope Street was available yet. Is this the second series? I watched the first and enjoyed it.

 

[TrishE]

Just checked. I had watched series 3 but will watch 4 thanks.

Watched the final two episodes of Mr Loverman. I hadn't read the book and so wasn't sure how it would end although a lot of it was predictable. It was interesting to see how some the character's relationships ended up, and how much we 'agreed' or not with their points of view.

There are a lot of similarities (to say the least),
but a more serious tone to the black comedy of Misfits, which I also enjoyed

Misfits I've started and failed to finish 2 or 3 times, it does have a drop off in quality as more of the original cast left.
