Overall not ground breaking sci-fi but really fun and ended on exactly the right note. Seems like my wife now wants us to catch up on the Magicians... we’ll see. We also watched the first Bear Grill’s dropping people on a remote island with drops of money to see what happens (forgot the exact title). It seems the rich Lord has teamed up with the military while the ‘little’ people do the work to get water while not realising they’re being shafted. A great analogy for modern Britain if ever there was one. Also, thinking of it, if you like Killjoys, you’ll most likely enjoy Dark Matter.

John Drake Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I currently have access to a gazillion viewing options packed full of expensive new drama on Sky, Amazon and Netflix, but have spent the past week rewatching old episodes of Tales of the Unexpected on Sky Arts and a DVD of the BBC version of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy from 1981. 1 .

I followed that up with all episodes of the Sweeney. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Drake Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I'm watching The Apprentice, but it's really starting to grate on me. I think I've just had enough of cliché spouting, incompetent idiots making a mess of everything. It's not amusing anymore, it's too much like real life. 1 .

John Drake Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Hot on the heels of UK Gold remaking old missing episodes of Dad's Army (well worth watching if you haven't seen them, btw) a bunch of students from UCL have remade a missing 1960s episode of Doctor Who, Mission to the Unknown, and released it on YouTube. Doctor Who nerds will know that this is the only episode in the show's entire history not to feature the Doctor or any of the regular cast, but was a scene setter for a subsequent 12 part story called The Daleks Masterplan (of which only about 3 episodes remain intact). I watched it last night and have to say it's very good if you're used to watching the old episodes from the 60s, it has captured the look and atmosphere of them superbly. 1 .

Wolford6 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Sky Arts' 2019 Landscape Artist of the Year starts next week. Gives viewers a valuable opportunity to shout at the telly and one of the judges is really good looking.
