What have you watched on TV?

[Mad Cyril]

Just started re-watching Inspector Morse from the beginning. 4 episodes in, bloody brilliant. Really want to go to Oxford now.

I was lucky enough to get into Oxford.



Southend lost 2-0

Heh. Funnily enough, the only time I've been to the Kassam was 2012 when we lost by that exact scoreline.

I watched that.

Seems the biggest issue was some of the public school types that were running the show.

The biggest issue for me (I was teaching in Montpellier at the time) was trying to explain to groups of French adults just why the UK was involved in this particular colonial war.

The first nation to colonise the Falklands was France in 1764

"In rivalry with England, France began to establish colonies in North America, the Caribbean, and India, following the Spanish and Portuguese successes during the Age of Discovery¨."

Funnily enough I was also reading Eric William's "Capitalism and Slavery " recently .IIRC England got into that well before France.

The saville documentary on Netflix. Had to stop watching half way through the 2nd episode. Truly awful, and those that covered it up.

 

[Swiss Tony]

Watched The Falkland War on Channel 5 , blimey there were a lot of mistakes .

The biggest one was made by Argentina.

Just watched Queen and Freddy's Live aid performance from 1985. I haven't seen it for a while, jesus, talk about owning the stage. The hairs on the back of my neck were standing up.

You should have seen them in Sun City.

Netflix thing about Jimmy Saville ?.

Putting all the abuse aside it’s incredible what that bloke was up to and the people he influenced. It’s quite shocking actually.

No wonder Boris gave Starmer stick in the commons about his time in charge of the CPS and lack of action.

Really good watch.

The Falklands War , The Forgotten Battle . I do not understand why it has taken 40 years for the truth about this battle to come out , 70 Marines against 700 Argies . Listerning to the Marines they were ready to fight to the last man .

 

[LCBB72]

Just finished watching 'Busby' on Pick Channel 36 , a great couple of hours viewing .

When is a comedy not a comedy??????
When it’s on Gold is a good clue but I got suckered!!!!

Just finished watching Trigger Point, if you can forget some of the inaccuracies then it’s excellent. Although Vicky McClure puts her hair up when she is in bomb disposal mode it really annoyed me, don’t know why just didn’t get the need when her hair was short anyway!

Started The Bay, seems alright to start, the main character is a bit of a **** but hopefully I’ll end up warming to her.
