I want one of those headsets.

I'll give that a miss, I don't want my head chopped off by a sword wielding woman, just because I've got the wrong log-in credentials🤣

Just like GBeebies, then. Not an original idea between them.

Big Mood (Channel 4, comedy)

Tackles bipolar mood disorder head on with plenty of adult themes.

Well written comedy that might divide the audience a bit.

For me though it rings true and it’s less cartoony than I was expecting.

The original made great telly when they reviewed the previous week’s date and the couple really didn’t get on.

Obviously by today’s standards it would appear tame.

But a bit of conflict tends to make for good drama.

You'd have to be blind to date her.

Blue Lights returns for a second series on Monday, first series was pretty good so hopefully it'll be a decent watch.

Really struggling to find something to watch at the mo. So started my three favourite sitcoms. Only fools. Cheers and Blackadder.

Rugby Union the only game in the world were the spectators handle the ball more than the players.

A few days ago I picked up the dvd boxset of The Pillars of the Earth in a charity shop and finally got round to starting it today. I watched it when it was first aired but don't remember too much about it. Since then I have read the novel which immediately became my favourite book so thought I'd check the series out again and I have not been disappointed. Incredibly well acted and so gripping, I couldn't take my eyes off it. Two episodes in and unfortunately only six to go. I might have to read the novel again after I've watched it!

Another TV show based on a game - Fallout.  It's very good.  The opening 3-4 minutes is something!

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

Seconded , for me the vintage music became a pain after a while but the visuals were very good , and no 'star' names cluttering the place practising their speech therapy.

I'm four episodes in. Enjoying it but really won't need to see another US series hang its hat on subverting 1950s wholesome Americana.

Yes I'm enjoying it and also binged on the 3 Body Problem and can't wait for the next one.

Give up on Stephen Knights This Town on BBC as find the acting and actors dull and with no charisma and the tiny inaccuracies with Skinhead girl nose piercing and the Zulu Casuals mixing in a pub with Skinheads and Rude Boys in 1981 might of happened but i'm sure the Tacchini look didn't happen till a year or 2 later despite John McEnroe winning Wimbledon in 1981.

3 Body Problem was great but unfortunately, at this time, there's no guarantee that they'll be another series, apparently it has had mixed reviews and at this moment in time, hasn't done as well as expected, which is strange really because everyone who I've talked to about really enjoyed it.

Ohh what a shame ...reminds me of the excellent The Living and The Dead which was out on BBC back in 2016 and the stupid BBC  didn't give it a 2nd chance :9
