Spidey Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 5 minutes ago, John Drake said: Excellent news! I've got all the episodes on DVD but as I've discovered with Doctor Who, it is so much easier to watch them on Britbox without all the faff of swapping discs. It's fast becoming my favourite streaming service, absolute TV nostalgia heaven. I've started watching The Prisoner, which I've never seen, and for those mourning the loss of Diana Rigg today, they've just added a load of episodes of The Avengers too. It’s a good service for content but I think the app is a bit clunky / slow for browsing compared to the likes of Now Tv & Netflix Enjoy the prisoner. “I am not a number I’m a free man!“ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleep1673 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 So what is the real reason that Premier Sports are not showing any of their back catalogue? They are showing cricket from 2012 in the West Indies, but can't be bothered to broadcast any of their back catalogue, unless their wrists have been strapped by the great god SKY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, and I’m certainly not boasting about it, I don’t think I could name a current starting player in the England football team. It’s not one of those snobbish things, I just can’t abide football and will change channel if it’s on.

I think Graveyard Johnny's just narked because Stan Mortensen didn't get the gig presenting 'Homes under the Hammer', what with him being dead and that. 1 1 "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life.

Bleep1673 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I thought tonight's Last Night of the Proms was excellent, great choice of music, & a magnificent arrangement selection. The "Normal" end reduced me to tears, as usual. My 11yo daughter forced her sleep over mate, to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Finnish conductor in her pyjamas was one of many fine things about the Last Night. Given the restrictions that was a really top drawer evening. Nice to actually hear some of the later-in-the-performance music for a change as well. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

ivans82 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Quite enjoyed it myself . Only got into a lot of Classical Music through The Nice and ELP , Keith Emerson seemed to always find the ones you could Rock Up , and then it lead you to listening to the originals . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleep1673 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Also, why do the presenters on ITV Racing, and people at the race courses think they are exempt from social distancing, an wearing of masks? I hope they cross infect themselves. Then there will be no racing again, like after March infected 90% of race goers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futtocks Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 All Creatures great and small had a bittersweet pleasure in episode 2, with Diana Rigg playing the appalling Mrs Pumphrey. This show is hitting the same market as ITV's The Durrells, and not just because it shares a cast member in Calum Woodhouse. And it is hitting that family viewing market because it is good enough on its own merits, as well as being a shot of comforting nostalgia. 1 "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life.
