Well, the final episode of the current series of Doctor Who was an absolute humdinger!

I loved it. ?

it was utter tripe, the dr  seems to have turned in to peggy from hi de hi, short gasp here, haa! short gasp there hu! short gasp again, small head shake without a single change of facial expression lovely white teeth though although am sure on the next seies the bbc will sort that out and she will have some black, brown and yellow ones.

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

If you don't like it, don't watch it. You'd be happier.

If the family put it on, maybe they wanted to watch it.

Why be such a misery?

Unfortunately this series of Inside No.9 has come to an end.

Fortunately it was possibly the strongest series yet!

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

My SKY box is cabbaged and I can’t get a replacement for over 2 weeks. It’s not that big a deal as I can watch BBC and ITV live via my TV but it’s a bit limiting. For example, I can’t watch any other channels showing repeats (again)

Is there any apps (for your TV) that allow you to watch other channels live? I can’t find one

Channel 4's All4 and Channel 5's My5 apps add those channel groups. UKTVPlay adds some other channels, both free and subscription.

Some TVs don't allow any apps other than the ones in their own personal store, but I would expect the main Freeview channel apps to be included at the very least. The alternative is getting a Fire TV, Chromecast or Roku to plug into the TV, which adds more flexibility.

If you mention to Sky that you'll go to Virgin or BT if they can't fix faster then they'll probably get you a box the next day!

It’s only a couple more weeks, I’m not that bothered, just wondering if there was an easy way that I was unaware of. 

The Sky Go app is quite good for if you don't mind sitting watching it on a computer. Also, if you've a fairly modern TV then it may have some sort of video casting on it where you can send device video, you then run Sky Go on a PC/laptop/iPad/etc then cast it to the telly.

Anyone watching "Very Hard Questions" on Channel 4. It's not bad actually but every week Jon Snow introduces the show with ' we have two teams playing in a competition where the eventual champions will win this magnificent trophy'.

 

Magnificent trophy? It's a small rectangle of perspex tat.

I never spot the hare!

The magician was great, even though I worked it out before the usual last minute.

Saturday Kitchen on BBC taken things with Covid19 to extremes, the chefs are not helping each other because of the dangers of cross infection, but if they washed their hands properly, like we do in theatres (operating, not acting), and cook the food through, then there should be no problem.

They have to set an example of social norms though. That's part of their public service remit.

Man in the High Castle very short review with heavy spoilers of the entire thing start to end.

 

Slow first series, great 2nd and 3rd. 4th went weird with it all being about black female leader saving the day in the western states, but it built up nicely. Penultimate episode excellent! Final episode, WTF. Just WTF. It makes the Game of Thrones finale look like a modern masterpiece. Beyond abysmal with folk just walking out of a tunnel making no sense and all the redemption story options written off, as well as leaving overwhelmingly huge storylines open.

I feel robbed. That was an atrocious ending.
