TV Series

[Franny 1234]

Just finished the latest series, its very watchable TV for me. As you say it, highlights a really important sector that many of us just take for granted. It also shows how much hard work and risk is involved in farming.

If you enjoyed the Clarkson farm series.
You will most likely enjoy the Vinny Jones one too.

We are casually watching House MD. Really easy watching stuff. Can just put on an episode whenever you fancy. It is like a strange cross between the Simpsons/Midsomer Murders//Sherlock/Casualty. And Hugh Laurie is just ridiculously good at acting.

Binge watched Clarkson's Farm over the weekend. Loved it.

I had given up after 15 minutes ages ago because he was annoying me but when I gave it a go again I found him totally likeable.

It is a bit artificial in parts but overall it gives a great insight into a world that is really important to our future.

A bit artificial…?! ;)

Yanks really thought he was one of them as well.

Yanks really thought he was one of them as well.

To be fair, it is completely believable. He never ever drops his "Americanism" at any point and we are getting towards the end of the first series.

This is true. My wife (not a yank but better) had no idea he was a brit. I had to show her some Blackadder.

Have you introduced her to Jeeves as Wooster?

He does a great accent to be fair. Him and Damien Lewis, you really can't tell.

Better than Tom Hardy (havoc)

Department Q on Netflix. As good, if not better, than Slow Horses...

Better than Tom Hardy (havoc)

His is bad, but Tim Roth's is the worst attack on America since Pearl Harbor

Just reading a book on Kenneth Noye from Donal Mcintyre. Fascinating read with him going on the run after the Stephen Lawrence road rage murder.

Stephen Cameron.

Agreed, it's a good read.

It might be the crazy tap water I've been drinking that has clouded my judgement, something in the pipes apparently

Could well be, you need to watch that tap water

Some mothers do a em.

Great series, 50 years old now.
Good to see these two back together having a chat.

Just finished Justified based on the recommendations from this thread. It was extremely good. Lots of great characters and dialogue. Givens and Crowder a great pairing.

You need to watch Justified City Primeval next.

I enjoyed,others hated, but it continues the Raylan Givens story.

Currently watching Code of Silence, a recent ITV crime thriller. V good so far.

Dept Q. Really enjoyed roughly the first 6 episodes, the last few wasn't up to the same standard as there were some really big plot holes but overall I thoroughly enjoyed it. The guy who played the lead detective was very good. Hope it see's a second series. It has a lot of potential if Netflix don't cancel it in favour of another reality dating show.
