What TV are you watching?

[Flick of the Elbow]

Interview in the Radio Times with Martin Shaw (is he really 71 !) in which he says he has forgiven The Professionals. Glad to hear it, it always pained me that he despised his part in one of the best tv triple acts of all time. I still watch it from time to time on freeview, wonderful stuff.

The Thick Of It, yet again. So funny.

A double bill of a US custom show called 'Bitchin Rides'(??)
I found it by chance, but............... they've restored a FuturLiner

The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt has returned to Netflix. It's still charmingly daft and very funny, but some bits now feel a bit forced to fit the story arcs. I can forgive that though as its genuinely hilarious. In fact my only real criticism is that I have to rewind quite often to pick up on the subtler jokes.

Gorgeous trucks!

Tried the first episode of Berlin Alexanderplatz last night. Not entirely convinced, but it does have the best ident of any programme ever:

Fargo Season 3 - fantastic!
Funny thing is I was chatting to some friends down the pub on Friday night, Fargo came up and no one else had started season 3 yet - the next topic of conversation was about Peter and the Wolf/Young Persons Guide to the Orchestra...
Watched episode 4 last night and...

The narration in the actual episode sounds like Billy Bob Thornton rather than Bowie...

Brains Games, Netflix

Finally something the whole family enjoy.

Watched a bit of Amazon Prime this week -
Back up to date with Lucifer (wickedly good) and Taken (a bit hit n miss in the last two episodes, but I'll persevere for a bit longer).
Also caught up with American Gods, which is still weird and rather good for it.

And for a bit of nonsense TV, watched E4's The 100, which gets more improbable by the week and is now firmly established as guilty pleasure.

I read nothing at all about it before watching... I always try and do this on purpoe as I hate any kind of spoiler... and I don't want to spoil it at all for anyone else doing the same hence I'll keep it rather vague... but while watching the first episode it took me a while to recognise who was playing Emmit. I certainly didn't twig who was playing his brother Raymond until the end credits...

I was the same! He's very good isn't he?

Ice, a two part TV movie from 2011.

This insightful drama tackles nasty big businesses, climate change and immigration policy with disastrous results. Not only did global warming become the dawning of a new ice age in the space of a day, putting northern Europe under 30 feet of snow and ice when only yesterday it had an equatorial climate... but the inexpensive stand-in for Kenneth Brannagh survives murder attempts, sinking drilling rigs, plane crashes, armed gangs, freezing cold, collapsing glaciers and gawd knows what else to reach his stricken family in London... which amazingly, he does. The dialogue was bloody awful too. My only hope is that climate change destroys humanity before another clanger like this is made.

I tried the first episode of the new Twin Peaks last night.
The original was always wierd, but in a good watchable way.
The new one was wierd and unwatchable.
Trust me, I tried but it was just bobbins...
