I love The Beiderbecke trilogy.   Medium sized Trevor Chaplin is a hero of mine.

Watched the final episode of Years and Years tonight. Then straight away watched the news. I wasn't 100% sure that it wasn't the same programme.

I watched the last two episodes in a row via iPlayer. The sense of attention to detail comes across, just as it did in the previous series. Not just in the little things you see in passing (the Samuel

Just watched the first three episodes of Chernobyl on Now TV.   Absolutely superb.

I’m sure there has been artistic license applied for dramatic effect, but even so, what a story.

Watched the last episode just now.  

Staggeringly good.

I saw the Beiderbecke Trilogy on DVD all the way through a few years ago.

I really enjoyed the pace and nuances plus some of it was set where I grew up. 

Nowadays everything is paced a lot faster of course. Similar to music , nothing seems to be given time to breathe and develop.

I've just replied to Steve about this.

I was lucky to watch all 3 series in a row, an episode a night a few years back.

The dialogue was very clever.

It’s Average Sized Trevor Chaplin.

Finished good omens, and it’s very rare for me to say about a series based on a book I love, but it was brilliant. It had a lull for an episode towards the end but I remember the book had as well. And the bit Gaiman added at the end with Crowley and Aziraphale’s trial at the end was a brilliant addition. Shame there can’t (or more likely shouldn’t) be a second series.

Thanks; I was waiting for feedback before I tried the adaptation out. Another fan of the book here, so I was apprehensive.

In other news, the new series of 'Killing Eve' starts on Saturday! ?

I also liked it, and wrote a thing saying so: https://jonsmalldon.wordpress.com/2019/06/05/tv-review-good-omens/

Finally catching up on Chernobyl , watched the first two . Wow it’s good . Although living here looking at sellafield it makes you shudder a bit !

Your shuddering might increase as the series progresses. Prepare yourself for the last episode!

Watch the early doors stage show at the Lowry a few months ago. Despite a few changes in the actors it worked really well. Think they have added more dates later in the year.

Sounds great I hope it comes to a theatre near me!
