TV Series

It’s a bit slow and hard work, pity they didn’t have halogen lighting in those days cos it’s nearly all filmed in the dark
 
Three episodes into Slow Horses on Apple TV with Gary Oldman in one the main roles. Shaping up very nicely indeed - could be a classic with other series in the pipeline. Based on Mick Herron’s Slough House espionage book series which I would thoroughly recommend. The narration on Audible is particularly good.
Not watched the series yet but I have just read the first book and it really was excellent.

I did get around to watching the first episode of Peacemaker and holy crap, I'll not be bothering with any more. Truly terrible.
