The Americans. Still very good.

This Is Us.

Excellent.

New edition of 'Sin City Motors' last night, on Discovery channel (series 3, episode 7)
They built a Caterpiller diesel powered, Model A, half-track!!

Sadly, it seems that Twiggy (the Apprentice) has left, & there's a new girl; Cheyenne
I'd like Steves own '57 (the one burning out, at the top of the home page), or the Nomad ('Wagon-Rod')

Bigheads - ITV.

Just when you think ITVs output can't get any worse (and they've had some stinkers lately) along comes this steaming pile of dross.

Just discovered it. Pant wettingly funny.

Duw, duw. Y Gwyll.

Slightly predictable but good to the very end.

Enjoying Department Q, not only for the game of spot the cph landmark.

I lived in the same apartment complex as Gro does in The Legacy. Gutted she has got shot of her classic SAAB 900 convertible in favour of a yankee muscle car.

A good series that, and it shows that nobody is.

This Week. Depressing.

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

The only regular tv I'll be watching now for the next few months are Beechgrove and Landward, with occasional visits to see Nigel and Nellie on Gardeners World. All other viewing time given over to whatever stage race Eurosport or the Bike Channel are showing. So many hours of coverage to keep up with every day watching other people riding their bikes I hardly get time to ride my own.

 

[NorthernDave]

Good news Lucifer fans - just seen that it finally continues on Amazon Prime with a new episode next week.

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Watched, after recording it whilst at work, a programme on the 'Bike' channel
Quite good; 'British Mountain Biking - The Untold Story' (or a similar title)

Not watched it all yet, but there was a large contribution at the start, from Isla Rowntree, & Geoff Apps
Gary Fisher was on it, Tym Manley (MBuk magazine founder?), Steve Behr (photographer) the guys behind Muddy Fox

Tim Parr(??, the guy behind British Mountain Bike Club - I think?)

Plus lots of archive footage, Isla - in her ZINN colours, early races like Malverns
The sea-change - when Peugeot/ACE Racing Team started - with a very young looking duo of Tim Gould & David Baker
(both were already very good CX riders then, with TG having won the Three Peaks CX)


Well worth watching if it's on again!!!

Couple for the geeks:

Doctor Who: the Happiness Patrol. Rather maligned by fandom, but a well paced story with lots of menace and a (sort of) moral too. Sylvester McCoy excellent as is Sophie Aldred's Ace. AcePlot revolves around a society where you are killed for being unhappy - not wholly unlike Saturday's new series episode. Critics were paricularly pooey about Candyman - a robot Bertie Basset but I thought him a splendid piece of murderous whimsy. Shiela Hancock fantastic as the main villainess.

It is of course still "classic" Doctor Who not 2001, but pretty good for storytelling and acting.

I've never bothered with Line of Duty before, but gave tonight's opening episode a go. What a clunker! Risible script and terrible acting. Surely it was better than that before, considering its good reviews?

We've just finished the first series and while there's a lot to admire, there are also negatives. People just don't talk like that to each other for a start*, the pacing was weird at times and some of the scenes were completely implausible, particularly the penultimate scene on the motorway which seemed set up just to get the words "Line of Duty" in there. Oh yeah, and having the credits roll with subtitles making it seem like a "true story" was pretty cool back when Tobe Hooper did it, but not any more.

Will keep going with it as I'm interested enough in a few of the characters and SophRM loves it, but at this stage I don't get the accolades.

Eta: *have a TMN - I hadn't read your subsequent comments.
