Futtocks Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Shown today on Talking Pictures TV, James Mason mooches round London, smoothly voicing over the odd, the ordinary, the funny and the sad. Very much worth a watch. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Futtocks Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 BBC2 - a wonderful hour-long tribute to Raymond Briggs has just finished (fire up the iPlayer!), to be followed by 'Ethel & Ernest'. 1 Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

I only caught the second half of the tribute and the other Geese wanted to watch something else so couldn't watch Ethel & Ernest despite the other Geese having never seen it before and my insistence it's one of the greatest animations ever. Gonna be an emotional night of iplayer watching for me. RIP Raymond, enjoy walking in the air forever more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We watched episode 5 during the week, episode called 24/7. Properly good telly. Thoroughly enjoying it and we'll probably finish the rest this weekend. 1 "When in deadly danger, when beset by doubt; run in little circles, wave your arms and shout" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derwent Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 C5 have been knocking out some decent drama series lately - Compulsion, Deadline and Witness Number 3 are all worth a watch. As is Sequestered which is on the STV player. I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josef K Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Is the documentary on Netflix about Woodstock 99 worth watching. I have read the stories about what went on, the music doesn't bother me i just like to see what went on with the paying & nonpaying spectators. I saw a clip of a mosh for one of the bands and it looked crazy, i don’t think i would’ve survived something like that even in my younger days.

Watched all three episodes in one go. One of the young fans they interviewed said the descent into savagery was like The Lord of the Flies.
