I've not watched educating Yorkshire, what was so emotional about it?

I finally finished Breaking Bad tonight.  Now that's how to end a series!

Wait until the withdrawals symptoms kick in! I only hope that Better Call Saul, the planned spin off good.

There's a big old "bad turns good" story left in Jesse that they could get at least 3-4 seasons out of with good writing.

Apparently there's been a it of a catfight on the Strictly Come Dancing set.

 

One professional dancer, Karen Hauer ...

reportedly accused another, Ola  Jordan, of being 'a rubbish dancer'. I'm tempted to side with Ola on this one.

Homeland series (not season) three is much better than expected.

They could do with speeding it up a little though.

New series of Hebburn tonight. I really enjoyed the first. Not groundbreaking but funny enough.

The hype is good for this.

[808tone 19]

Peaky Blinders was great but I am watching my £90 box set of Goodnight Sweetheart.

Watched one episode of the first series. My god it was bad. Just a continual stream of northern stereotypes. How Vic Reeves and Gina McKee can bare it I can't imagine.

I must admit it was a bit poor last night.  

 

I think they bare it because of the pay check.  Gina McKee has recently been in "By any means", and oh my god was that bad.

[Wolford6 1,262]

If I'd known Gina McKee was baring it, I'd probably have tuned in.

;)

I quite enjoyed By Any Means - total nonsense I know but enjoyable enough if you just put your brain into neutral and coast through for an hour.

It was wall to wall drivel, but I take your point as I watched most of them despite this!

I watched something about a Tudor farm last night. It was pretty good. Using only available 'technology' from the time they had to build stuff and plough etc.

Got it recorded will watch it tonight. It carries on the series from Victorian Farm, Edwardian Farm and Wartime Farm. All very good social history stuff.

That Ruth Goodman scares the bejesus out of me.

 

She looks 900 years old.

She's very good at this sort of programme, though.

 

Anyone else see the new series 'Crackanory' on Dave last night? I quite enjoyed it.

It certainly put the 'mindless' into mindless entertainment. I'll give them that.

[ckn 5,132]

Argh...  too many things to watch, not enough time!

 

So far, the programmes outstanding are:

4 episodes of American Horror Story

7 episodes of Criminal Minds, mind you this is one mainly for the wife

3 episodes of Dracula

3 episodes of Grimm

The entire first season of Hannibal

5 episodes of Ray Donovan

5 episodes of Sleepy Hollow

4 episodes of The Walking Dead

 

And that doesn't include the dross the wife watches that's building up to be watched.  It's at the stage now that it'll take a couple of weeks off to catch up without becoming a complete couch potato.

Of course she is. She undoubtedly has a black cat and broomstick.

Sorted.
