I didn't bother with the spin off. Ashes to Ashes grew on you as it went (plus it had Keeley Hawes in it to perv over). The final episode was the most moving piece of fiction telly I'd seen since the episode of ER that Dr Greene died in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was actually quite funny. I really can't stomach his stand-up now. His main go to seems to be bouncing his hair up and down. He also comes across as a complete c**t. I think all comedians have a short shelf-life. I don't think there is an initially good comedian who has burst onto the scenes who I haven't ended up finding irritating within a few years. The fact they all rotate around awful panel shows makes it worse as well. Edited November 23, 2020 by Szamo's_Ammo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadfully unfunny and bordering on being awkward to watch. All this maybe true - I haven't seen the show - but she is fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably massive Japanese govt propaganda but it’s very relaxing. Watched a great programme about folk growing sesame seeds the other day. Another fan of NHK World here. If it’s propaganda it’s worked on me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 Mystery of DB Cooper on BB4 iplayer. There's no fucking mystery, he hijacked the plane in the morning, the dopey air hostess didn't bother reading his note until the plane was taking off, by the time they landed again, picked up the money, and took off again, it was dark, in the winter, and the silly c**t jumped out over a forest with a parachute without being able to see anything. Dead man and the money's rotted. Next mystery please. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Antiques Road trip. OK, we are under Covid. What the f**k is the 'one guy drives the car' and the other, quite fucking hefty c**t rides the bike. This makes no sense, what are you trying to tell us that we don't already know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 The New Pope is every bit as good as the it’s predecessor, The Young Pope, the best show of 2017. All the same features that made the original series so utterly compelling yet this time they’ve added John Malkovich wearing eyeliner and speaking in an English accent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverton End Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 The Valhalla Murders BBC 4 Saturday's 9pm Cop drama series from Iceland, is there a serial killer working their way through a group of folk, who are linked by their past? Neither of the lead Detectives are remotely likeable in this and both seem to have dark secrets. Will stick with it, intriguing enough & hopefully their will be a plot twist or 2 to come. Some of the scenery is great too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Episode three will make or break it for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pittsburgh phil Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Tales Of The Unexpected has looped right back to the first episodes again on Sky Arts. Lamb To The Slaughter is up tomorrow, featuring a remarkably restrained performance from Brian Blessed as well as the lovely Susan George. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
