What have you watched on TV?

[Uncle Leo]

The Driver - Pretty solid thriller with The Governor being a Manc cab driver turned criminal. Good stuff, if not for the occasional out of place comedy moments.

I enjoyed it - David Morrissey, Colm Meaney and Ian Hart are always worth watching - but that 'comedy' bit while they were waiting outside that house was terrible wasn't it?

It was self-reviewing. Loved when he put all the pants on.

Heart warming, thought it might be aimed at the Last of the Summer Wine viewers but was aimed at everyone. Very well done.

Marvellous was very very good , my wife even turned facebook off to watch it .

I can't praise Marvellous enough, it was one of the finest 90 minutes I have ever had watching telly. Lou Macari, what a wonderful man. :thumbsup:

I've been thinking about the show a lot these ever since watching it. Very cleverly done - the way Toby Jones played him at different stages of his life, the real Neil Baldwin coming in at certain points, throwing in the actual Lou Macari at times rather than just the actor, all brilliant. Was surprised to see it only get three stars in The Times this morning.

"I've always wanted to be happy so I decided to be". Not a bad way to go about life eh?

Indeed. I can't remember when a TV programme gave me a buzz - and it's still here today!

The blacklist.

James spader is top drawer. Much more intelligent than the usual American dross.

Season 2 starts next month and its available on demand (sky)

 

[Mad Cyril]

Marvellous.

Fantastic stuff.

 

[MK Shrimper]

New series of Modern Family. Still very hit and miss.

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Finished season 4 of The Walking Dead on 5* last night. Great stuff.

  Spoiler:  

Seems obvious to us that the Terminus people are cannibals luring people there to kill & eat. When Rick & co are trying to get away they run past a pile of human skeletons and there was the candle lit memorial room.

Looking forward to season 5.

 

[BrettieAngell]

Looking forward to season 5.

Starts in a couple of weeks, over there anyway. :smile:

 

[MK Shrimper]

New series of The Simpsons. How is this still going? Funniest bit was the surreal intro....rest barely raised a smile.

 

[Pubey]

Marvellous.

Fantastic stuff.

Just caught up with this. Brilliant.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Final part of "Cilla" - just brilliant. If Sheridan Smith doesn't win some awards for her performance, then there's no justice.
