Not sure where this comment belongs but, Blankety Blank is one of the best light entertainment things on TV right now.

Netflix have taken Sons of Anarchy off ffs. I’m only on S2.

[Dr Marco]

To be fair I love anything Mackenzie Crook does, even a sucker for Worzel Gummidge

Not going to lie, can’t say I’m impressed by the trailer for S2 of Squid game

I just watched BBC's adaptation of Sally Rooney's 'Normal People' after recenly reading the book.  Has anybody seen it?

 

Sublime piece of writing.  I'm an emotional wreck!

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

Just got round to watching boba fett. Enjoyed it a lot, sounds like the same guy has done the theme tune but it's not as good as the mandalorian. 

 

Latest Dexter. It's getting very interesting and better as the season has gone on. 

 

First episode of cobria kai season 4, really its absolute garbage, its far fetched, the acting is abysmal, its so corny but there's just something endearing about it and I will watch it all.

Spot on.

Was hilarious with Sir Les Dawson but Bradley Walsh is one of the funniest presenters around.

Goid family stuff.

Have you seen the episode where at the end, the scene takes you back to when an ancient burial takes place on that spot and then quickly moves through the years to the present day? Series three I think it was. Outstanding.

 

Here it is.

Not yet. Part of me thought meh it's just gonna be a load of interviews. Will inevitably watch it at some point though.

 

Was it good?

Thinking about watching this series, got good reviews..

 

From the youtube comments...

I don't know how many of you realise this, but MacKenzie took up detecting whilst making the series and he actually found that Hawker's whistle for real on the land where they filmed with his XP Deus (which you see him using in each episode). He decided to write it into the script. (He also later found a Roman gold artefact and it had to be sent to the British Museum for evaluation.) he said in an interview that it was full of dirt, so he cleaned it out and blew it - just like you see here.

Didn't know this. Excellent.

 

I won't pretend I haven't considered getting one myself since starting to watch the series

One of the best shows. Apparently there is a new series coming out later this year. 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Finally got around to watching Gomorrah which someone recommended on here a while back and I have to say series one was fantastic. I’m now on series 2 which maintains the standard.

For anyone who doesn’t know it’s a modern day Italian mafia story, subtitled so phone down and full concentration required!
