What TV are you watching?

While they were on location in Croatia they could have have nipped into Italy to shoot footage of a vintage Italian train, they chose to film the scene in Hampshire, the set up would not have been any cheaper.

The Watercress Line, by any chance?

It gets used a fair old bit in films and TV. The BBC's Wartime Farm, a Mary Berry cookery programme, the film "Children of Men" to name but three...

Another good half of Silent witness tonight

 

[icowden]

I've started watching my way through Nautilus. It's rather good so far. A sort of steampunk inspired re-imagining of 20,000 Leagues under the Seas but giving it a real world setting and some geopolitical back story (essentially the prisoners of the East India Tea company vs the East India Team company.

For whatever reason we have never watched Silent witness before but started watching current series and really enjoying it.

Blimey you've got about 27 series to catch up on !

Out There (ITV). Martin Clunes is a farmer whose son gets into bother with a drug gang. It all sounds a bit Doc Martin but Clines plays a very likeable and formidable character. The rest of the cast is pretty good too. Unfortunately series 1 finishes on a bit of a cliffhanger and they have not yet confirmed a series 2 😞

The Firefighter programme ought to be very interesting, as his brother is (was?) a retained ‘ff’

Always meant to watch that but it goes back 20 years or something. Is there a good season to start at as a beginner, or would I need to watch from S1E1?

There have been two leads in it - Amanda Burton series 1 to Episode 2 of series 8 and then Emile Fox from Episode 5 of series 8

Similar thing here we only started watching this last series.
I suppose start at series 1 but I guess you could start anywhere as not sure if the series have a continuing story line or not?
