Silverton End Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 The Secret Life of the Berlin Wall, BBC4 (last week) Interesting documentary using folks who were affected by The Wall in different ways, mother of the last person to be shot trying to escape, a Stasi officer, a tunneller, protest leaders etc. Worth watching 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanton Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Documentary on Channel 5 last night about The Kennedys . Someone somewhere really must have a put a serious hex on this family it's hard to believe so much tragedy could be heaped on one single family. They weren't ever going to win family of the year award though and Joe senior certainly wasn't a very nice guy and some of his actions regarding his daughters were shocking , interesting stuff though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Finally got around to watching Black Mirror Season 5 and, eh, it's not great but it's quite funny to imagine the pitches.

19QOS19 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Not a great episode. There are no bad Colombo episodes though.I quite enjoy it. The worst part of the whole episode for me is when Connolly's character discovers the boy lying dead and gives a strange monologue. It always annoys me for some reason. The closest to a bad Columbo episode for me is No Time To Die. As close to boring as it gets. Not knowing the murderer beforehand takes away the show's USP as well. The later ones aren't as good but I still thoroughly enjoy and rewatch them. I'm genuinely watching Etude in Black as I type [emoji38] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peak hangover TV. Not a great episode. There are no bad Colombo episodes though. I would disagree. There were two episodes based on 87th Precinct novels by Ed McBain - great books but light years away from the usual Columbo format. They could have been made with any generic TV detective. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northboy Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I recently found the first series of Taggart being shown on DRAMA. Great stuff but the early 80s look like a completely different world in so many ways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any series set in the 1980s or earlier looks odd when you see an office with not a computer in sight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
