What have you watched on TV?

[Mad Cyril]

Finished watching Our Planet last night, that is possibly the best thing I’ve ever watched on TV. The shots they got were amazing. I watched the making of it and the lengths the people went to get a couple of minutes of footage is unreal.

Rather than send middle class film crews to all four corners of the world I have often thought environmentalism would be best served by compilations of features submitted by local documentary makers.

Jeremy Wade's latest show Dark Waters. Very much River Monsters which was always a fab watch. Jeremy had a great delivery style, very watchable

How about you watch The Grand Tour.

I don't do cars mate, or bikes or anything with an engine. It's nothing to do with Clarkson & co. Westworld is a sci-fi drama and not a very good one IMHO.

 

[davewebbsbrain]

Started watching Westworld, pretty decent so far I think I’ll stick with this one and see how it goes.

It gets pretty screwed up. Jumps back and forth in time too. Worth sticking with it though. Get watching Project Bluebook and Timeless if you haven't already

Project Bluebook sounds like Project UFO from the late 1970s

Project UFO was based loosely on Project Bluebook and didn't feature Dr Alan Hynek.

Project Bluebook actually features Hynek and is based on actual events but clearly features fiction . Really quite interesting stuff though

The Victim.

It was OK.

Yeah watched that last night. It would been very powerful if they focussed on the grieving mother and the perp rather the extraneous characters which made it a bit soapy.

The Widow, finishing last night. Four episodes too long. Some may say eight......

I got bored of that after two.

Barry (on NowTV/Sky Atlantic). Absolutely superb

Deutschland 86.

Too many plot threads, too unbelievable.

I am pretty sure Colibri wouldn't last 5 mins in a Southend pub let alone on the front line of the cold war.

Oh I don’t know, Southend pubs would probably remind him of the desperation and hardship of the repressive socialist society of East Germany.
I think it’s the best thing on TV for eons. It’s not meant to be a documentary.

I have developed a strange fascination with East Germany.

So popular they had to build a wall to keep us all out.
The machine gun towers were just for show!

That is no way to speak of the Anti Fascist Protection Rampart.

Such a poor ending, really disappointed

The end was like Lost and Ashes to Ashes with the dead people coming back !!!

Re-watching Toast of London.

Hilarious.

I watched QT last night, or the first 25 minutes of it, a panel of interest, so I thought, with Thornberry and Clarke, plus journo from Guardian so I expected some sense but the best replies came from the comedian, once again. With most question turning to Brexit and then repeated "can kicking".
The Warrington audience were a poor (IMO) mix but a very frustrated bunch.

Plus the IEA stooge. Clarke was good I thought.

Plus the IEA stooge. Clarke was good I thought.

Clarke does talk a good job and he certainly had the right answers for the Williamson theme, Thornberry came across as patronising, the IEA lady as fervent but naive, and the Guardian as having all the questions and negatives but never an answer.
