I’m not sure what someone farting as the highlight of yesterday’s Celebrity Traitors says about the standard of celebs these days!

Spoiler alert :  Someone farts on camera.

All hell seems to have broken out on twitter as Grange Hill seems to have disappeared and been replaced by The Liver Birds.

I will go with one of three reasons: the episodes aren't complete, the recording isn't high enough quality, and/or they found out they didn't have permission from the rights holder.

Told you

Rights permissions are Woke and further evidence we need to be out of the ECHR

Just finished series 2 of Resident Alien on Netflix, a very easy to watch and enjoyable programme, quite amusing too.

On one of the Foxtel channels over here they are showing The Twilight Zone and started with the first ever episode.  Up to episode 26 and it's great to see how many well known actors had parts in this series.

I watched a selection of the best 30 episodes some years back. It was remarkable how contemporary it felt in terms of the production. I can only imagine how profound it would have been watching it for the first time all those decades ago when there weren't a million imitators to compare it to.

New season of Slow Horses starring Gary Oldman is on Apple TV from September 24th. Let’s hope it’s as good as the previous series’s 

 

I enjoyed it.  And the next series is filmed already.  

No hanging about!

Finished ‘House of Guinness’ series 1 which is great.

Moved onto ‘Department Q’ on Netflix which is a tartan noir from the director of ‘The Queen’s Gambit’.

Just one episode in but I enjoyed the plot twist.

Quite moody and dark I suppose but intriguing.

I don't know if you can access them but the Danish movies of Department Q are very good.
