Watched the first episode of the second series of Ted Lasso.

Smiled through it as I did the entire first series.

It's just bloody lovely.

We he had a free 12 months of Apple after upgrading our daughters iPhone but for some reason they've binned us after 3 months. We really enjoyed Ted Lasso series one. Also found Brigadoon really good but can't watch that anymore.

Watched the final episode of season 2 today, and gotta admit that I'm disappointed

Gonna try not to spoil anything - but why turn that particular character into such a piece of sh$t ??

Been mentioned by a few posters but Itvs manhunt with martin clunes is exceptional  drama.

Both series are based on true events and if you were around in that era you will have heard of them both.

New season of Ladhood is great.

The Blair Brown years documentary  series on bbc iplayer.

I'm a latecomer to What we do the shadows but it is quality

Why was family fortunes entertaining before it became celebrity family fortunes?

Tend to agree but I guess it's to build a rivalry

 

Season 2 isn't as good as the first but still quite enjoyable.

Starting to find talk shows depressingly awful. Graham Norton and that Paul O'Grady thing. "Mel, you have an amusing story about a ball point pen?". Celeb tells boring story and everyone pretends it's hilarious.

 

The One Show " Sting, why did you name your album The Bridge, are you looking forward to going on tour, how did you feel during covid?" So inane.

Watched the first episode of The Larkins with Bradley Walsh. Fairly enjoyable, formulaic, twee Sunday night fare. Arse-achingly right-on, but then most TV is these days.

 

Also watched a bit of Outsiders on Dave. Might as well have called it Taskmaster In The Woods, because that's essentially what it is. It was OK. I'll probably watch a bit more and see how it develops.

Didn’t feel like it was being built to.  Kinda came out of nowhere.

Enjoying Squid Game but feels a bit predictable now.

 

Sex Education started off well but it’s shite now. 

[Guest Electric Yetis]

Not seen Squid Game but already had enough of it.

10 year old is pestering me to be able to watch it as apparently everyone in year 6 has watched it and they play it at break time!

[String fellow]

Did anyone see Only Connect on BBC2 tonight? What were those strange marks on Victoria Coren Mitchell's right cheek?

Btw, Simon Callow was superb as the poet Alexander Pope on the BBC4 programme last night.

Totally agree

they announced a 4th season, and I don’t think I could care any less about it.

A flower tattoo. 

 

"She warned viewers by sending out an intriguing tweet ahead of the show, informing fans that she would be looking a little different.

Writing on the social media site, she wrote: ‘On tonight’s Only Connect: no, it isn’t a bruise. It’s a LOVELY GLITTERY FLOWER TATTOO.’"

 

 

 

Apparently she said it's not related to Taskmaster, but I bet it is.

Ken Barlow, Charlie Fairhead and Zak Dingle unite to fight Thanos Phil Mitchell and stop him from getting the Infinity Stones.

I wasn't expecting much from Alma's not normal, but thought it was brilliant.

The trailer doesn't do it justice at all because it's more of a darker comedy than it suggests.

Started Seinfeld on Netflix. Watched a few when I was younger and remember finding them amusing, and since then Curb is up there as my favourite ever comedy show so started them when they dropped on Netflix about 10 days ago. Season 1 and 2 are absolutely abysmal, just totally unfunny and just couldn't understand how it is lauded like it is and how Larry David could have been so poor and then went on to make Curb. So I looked online and it's pretty roundly understood and said by most that season 1 and 2 are indeed very poor and the quality really picks up so I've persisted through season 3 and can attest that yes, it does get much better and some of the episodes are really very funny and apparently it only geta better up to season 8 when David left and it goes downhill a bit so really looking forward to seeing how it progresses through season 4.

Im up to episode 4 series 1 and I'm like you don't know what the fuss was about. I might skip to series 3 then.

New Doctor Who trailer:

 

Featuring Dot Cottan from Line of Duty, David from Cold Feet, Neil from the Inbetweeners, and Bungle from Rainbow. 

[The Bear]

Doctor Who is basically a kids TV show with a slightly bigger budget.

I've just finished Ridley Road on BBC.

I actually thought it was pretty interesting until the final episode which made it look daft
