What have you watched on TV?

World on Fire - part two really upped the ante and was great TV. Roll on the rest on the series.

And me RHB, this series is, imo, getting better and better; a few silly characters to cover diversity and USA audience, but generally good viewing.

His Dark Materials - episode 1 yesterday, of 8, I believe. Absolutely loved the books, but it's so long since I read them that I couldn't remember half of what goes on.

Don't know if it's just me, but I didn't find the key character of Lyra, very likeable. Guess we'll wait and see how it all "pans" out.

Wasn't impressed by His Dark Materials.

The BBC obviously realised episode one was pony which is why they added a massive action packed trailer at the end.

I am really looking forward to The War Of The Worlds

I do remember that I had to really force myself to continue with the 1st book, I guess this has come over in the TV series too as I've read several people saying this. Stick with it, it will get better.

Most opening episodes are there to set the scene. I'm sure with BBC & HBO at the helm it will be a good series. World on Fire started off slowly but that's cooking on gas now!

Watched the series 2 finale of Mary Kills People last night, a Canadian gem hidden away on More4. Final series 3 starts midnight tomorrow. With only 6 episodes in each series it can be a somewhat difficult watch as the subject concerns assisted suicide but is so very well handled with plenty of twists and turns. 9/10 ?

The book started very slowly as well, in fact first time round I nearly gave up on it, but it certainly picks up. I think the trailer was very sensible thing.

Madam and I watched 10 minutes of 'His Dark Materials', couldn't make out much of the dialogue as it was too indistinct, gave up on it. I am sure many will have enjoyed it though.

Devil next door Netflix documentary about man who was eventually found guilty of being a guard at concentration camp in second world war.Was very interesting and well worth a watch

Caught up with thriller The Capture on Iplayer. Good stuff and scary if there's any truth at all in the premise.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Watched A Confession over last weekend, absolutely brilliant TV

 

[RHB]

World on Fire - Last episode of a series that has got better and better. It is due to return which is a very good thing as this episode left us hanging there!!

spoiler alert!

HDM - still slow. I wonder if it'll lose viewers. Though forgive me if I'm wrong but..,

  Spoiler:  

I don't remember the Magesterium being able to cross worlds until Will gets the Subtle Knife, and that's in book 2.

For anyone interested, there's a programme about to start on BBC1 about the Seven Hotel on the seafront.

Recording it mate. Good to see you posting again.

Sorry mate, it's listed in The Echo, but this one isn't the right episode. It's about some Treehouse farm!

Drama update :

I've cast my jeweller's eyepiece over recent offerings :-

The Capture - Quite superb and Laura Haddock, as well.

A Confession - All round pretty good and based on a more than interesting true story.

Dublin Murders - Needless sub-plot wasting two episodes. Superb acting, throughout.

The Accident - Yep, not too bad.

Guilt - This is absolutely top drawer. A Scottish Fargo. Highly recommend it.

Next up, Gold Digger

Thanks, mate. It's all @MK Shrimper fault.

He knew I couldn't resist voting on a Kate Bush thread!
