"The Newsroom" finished last night. I highly recommend finding the 3 series on-demand or in box set. It is, in my opinion, brilliant!

Watched the final episode of Years and Years tonight. Then straight away watched the news. I wasn't 100% sure that it wasn't the same programme.

I watched the last two episodes in a row via iPlayer. The sense of attention to detail comes across, just as it did in the previous series. Not just in the little things you see in passing (the Samuel

Three good, but different-style, finalists in next week's Portrait Artist of the Year.

 

 

One of them is from Wigan. She's not my favourite but I think she'll win.

She's young, pretty and delicate-looking, so I'm guessing she's lying about the Wigan bit.

;) ;) :tongue:

Well, there you go then. I best  like the the works by the lady who uses watercolour.

 

I also wanted the American guy who paints on wax to get to the final.

Well, we've had the final work in Sky Portrait Artist of the year ... a commission to paint Alan Cumming for the Scottish National portrait gallery.

 

I thought it was rubbish.

 

Shows how much I know.

'Stars in their Eyes' returned to our screen last night, for the first time in years. Harry Hill is the new host, and brought a lot of his usual silliness to the show. I rather enjoyed it.

 

None of the competitors played the dead relative card or spoke of "going on a journey", there wasn't a panel of judges delivering scripted ad-libs - it was just a bit of good-natured entertainment.

its getting ripped on twitter.

Always surprised that Hill's silliness has been so popular on mainstream with TV Burp. I like it, silly and lighthearted. Maybe SITE will grow on people.

A lot of the Twitter comments are from people who seem to just hate Harry Hill, whatever he does.

The Man in the High Castle. :O

 

A long favourite of mine in book form, now in telly form.  Excellent start.  I cannot get that theme out of my head and it now has a completely different take to what it previously had.

I rather enjoyed it as well, but more because I'm a Harry Hill fan. I think the people getting uppity about it are - not entirely unfairly - expecting it to be more of a talent show like the original, when in actual fact it's as much of a talent show as Shooting Stars was an actual quiz show.

 

That said, I actually can't believe it's on mainstream TV on Saturday night, just because of how daft it is.

That said, I haven't heard much original thought yet from the various interviewees.
