Spidey Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Watched the latest Black Mirror last night - Bandersnatch - quite enjoyed it, an interactive TV show. After chatting with a few wor colleagues now knows there's a couple of extra endings which I'll need to navigate to at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 We watched Pine Gap on Netflix over Christmas, slow burn but compelling. If you enjoyed "Eye in the Sky" (The Helen Mirren/Alan Rickman film, not the Alan Parsons Project) you might want to give Pine Gap a try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However most of the tv shows I watch don't seem to be free. Do you have this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have this? There are far fewer free things on Prime then there really should be given the cost. The Jack Ryan series is free and decent though. As is Goliath (I’ve only seen series one).

Futtocks Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Most of what I watch on Prime is RiffTrax movies, as there is a decent selection on there, with occasional changes to the line-up. But if you use as many benefits of Prime as you can (e.g. fast, free delivery on orders etc.), the price makes more sense.

Bleep1673 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) I have really gotten into "The Good Place", on E4. It started slow, but it is hilariouosousousousous. Ted Danson is great, Jameela Jamil is funny, and Kirsten Bell is fantastic Everything else is forking shirt (In the words of the place) Edited January 3, 2019 by Bleep1673 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedford Roughyed Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 Did you ever pay money to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers play live? 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintslass Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I've just watched the first instalment of The Paras on ITV (9pm start). Two more to go. Compelling viewing for a civvy like me! It was brutal, funny, poignant at different times but I now have a handle on why they do bonkers things in training. I'm looking forward to part 2 when apparently the training involves stuff that is even more bonkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I enjoyed the nostalgia trip that was When Dummies Took Over The World . Rod Hull and Emu ( and those monstered by him ) , Sooty Sweep n Sue and the rather strange at times Corbett business relationship. Orville , Spit the Dog , Dicky Mint , Nookie Bear and Roger ( I hated working with kids ) and Lord Charles . Ray Alan really was the master , amazing routine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
