I enjoyed “Down The Line” on Radio 4, and i enjoyed it when it went on tv as “Bellamy’s People”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerrumonside ref Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Anyone else looking forward to the Book of Boba Fett on Disney+ starting 29th December? It’s the latest spin off Star Wars tv series following on the back of The Mandalorian which I had low expectations for but greatly enjoyed it. Returning to Boba Fett it will be interesting to see how they handle such an iconic character. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Khan was effing hilarious on DTL but less so on TV. They removed most of the edgy (ie funny) stuff. ‘The Nugget’ was also a great one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hallucinating Goose Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I don't think Emma Raducanu is particularly spoty. She's quite attractive in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to buy it, everyone! I am always watching Doctor Who, though, so you weren't far off there. Next new episode is on New Year's Day, just to ruin 2022 for you. 2 1 .

bobbruce Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Recently watched the full Blake 7 series that had been on forces tv. Dated in parts but still very watchable and was just as disappointed with the end as I was when I first watched it. I won’t go to far into it just in case you can still have spoilers on something 40 odd years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerjon Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Very much enjoyed the Ghosts Christmas Special on BBC 1 yesterday. I think, unless you count random seasonal sport, that may be the only festive telly I watch this year. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Johnoco Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Yesterday I watched most of Singing In The Rain and quite enjoyed it. I'm now watching My Fair Lady (until I go out anyway).

And far more sexy than the girls today whipping their t!TS out at the drop of a hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbruce Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Recorded the Ken Burns civil war series on PBS I’ve seen bits of it before. It has some amazing pictures and even some film footage of veterans many years later. The last of which died in 1959 which I still find hard to get my head round. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Evans Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Just watched the most expensive cruise in the world. Prior to that I watched some Nigerian fella digging 27ft to get to some water. Same species. Same world. Same time. I'm finding it hard to reconcile the differences the two programmes I've just watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
