Futtocks Posted September 5, 2024 Posted September 5, 2024 Could I make a request for this thread please? If you're recommending a programme (or the opposite), can you mention what channel or streaming service is showing it? I'll try to do so in future. 1 Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. Ralph Waldo Emerson

I see it has been renewed for a second series but can't think what that is gonna be about but I'm guessing it's not going to be following the source material, assuming this first series is an adaptation of the entire novel. Pole to Pole was the second series , I’ve just finished it

Yes I prefer the Michael Palin version . And luckily David Tennant isn’t in it
Stirlin Posted September 8, 2024 Posted September 8, 2024 (edited) On Amazon Prime , Goliath.....yet another small time brief taking on a major law firm , but this one is really good as the company being pursued for compensation is a multi billion arms manufacturer , cue loads of brick walls thrown up and other nasties to prevent a court case. As it is an 8 part series plenty of time to flesh out the characters and plot. With Billy Bob Thornten , Maria Bellow and William Hurt. Edited September 8, 2024 by Stirlin 1
Futtocks Posted September 11, 2024 Posted September 11, 2024 For fans of a certain Japanese TV show of the Seventies, here's Monkey and Pigsy singing together on some sort of TV special. Some of the most shameless mugging to camera I've seen since Lee Briers and Sam Tomkins. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

DavidM Posted September 13, 2024 Posted September 13, 2024 I’m watching Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy War on Netflix which I’m finding very interesting . I’m also catching up on Spymaster which was on bbc 4 a little while back

Better than expected , now in series 2 with McBride defending a teen accused of a murder he did not commit . Said murder is down to a Mex cartel who are busy laundering money through a dodgy construction company in LA . Being Mex cartel cue loads of blood and other nasties , singer/actor Paul Williams makes his first appearance.
Futtocks Posted September 18, 2024 Posted September 18, 2024 (edited) On BBC2 at 11:05pm this evening, you can watch the brand new US version of Have I got News for you. God knows what it'll be like, or how it'll be received across the pond. Hat Trick Productions are trying to revive the panel show format in the USA, where's been out of fashion for ages. Even Hollywood Squares fizzled out 20 years ago, and that was an outlier.

Bedford Roughyed Posted September 20, 2024 Author Posted September 20, 2024 Slow Horses Series 4 on Apple. Hidden away on a small channel. Deserves a bigger audience. 2 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!

The Hallucinating Goose Posted September 27, 2024 Posted September 27, 2024 Has anyone watched Nightsleeper, and if so what did you think? From the adverts it just looks like Speed on a train which would be a good thing cos I like Speed and I like trains!

David Threlfall seems to have just been asked to reprise his role as Frank in Shameless but as some kind of cyber genius this time. That said I watched the whole thing and thought it was pretty entertaining nonsense. Plenty of references for the railway nerds among us too. 1 1 "I'm from a fishing family.

Bedford Roughyed Posted October 4, 2024 Author Posted October 4, 2024 Bad Monkey - Apple TV Enjoyed it so far with one episode to go.

Futtocks Posted October 5, 2024 Posted October 5, 2024 Bullseye is back! For a one-off special at least, hosted by Andrew Flintoff.

Derwent Posted October 5, 2024 Posted October 5, 2024 Brassic is back for its 6th series on Sky, and it’s as good as ever. One of those shows that just cheers you up when you watch it. 1 I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally
