Carl Fredrickson Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I have been holding back on watching S3 of Happy Valley but started watching it earlier today. Now on episode 5. Absolutely fantastic TV. I am sure I have said this before but Sarah Lancaster is one of my favourite actresses. Plays her role really well.

Tazio Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Fight The Power: How Hip Hop Changed The World on the BBC has been excellent. Chuck D always strikes me as a character with a real presence about him, he doesn’t waste a word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieboobs Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Fauda Season 4 (Netflix) - Drama about the Israel defence forces First 3 seasons were pretty good but season 4 is the best. Plenty action and very tense at times while they search for a Hamas terrorist. well recommended. Started watching Gunther's Millions (Netflix) last night. 4 part series about the richest dog in the world with a trust fund worth $400 million. Only watched 2 episodes so far and quite funny but you know something's not quite right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortyJambo Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 For fans of Bosch and Bosch: Legacy, Michael Connelly has announced that Amazon have 2 new spinoff shows in development. One is based on J Edgar, his partner from the Bosch series, and the other is based on Renee Ballard who he's written a few novels about recently as someone that's worked with Bosch since he retired.

Tommy Brown Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 John Cleese is working with his daughter Camilla in a new series of Faulty Towers. Hmmm, I think I would prefer they didn't.

JudyJudyJudy Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 “ Life on Mars” I decided to re watch this again . It really is superb . It’s a great homage to “ the sweeney” “ the professionals “ and many other cop tv shows of the 70s. Humour is pretty savage at times and a great antidote to how people over , over sensitive has become . Top notch performances from John Sim and Phillip Glenister who plays Gene Hunt . That character is one of tvs great characters . He’s a ^^^^ but a big softie really . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Thought I'd give the much hyped Happy Valley a go. It's okay but the personal stuff whenever the main family are involved, it simply doesn't ring true. Doesn't help suffering from over acting by Sarah Lancashire. She ruins every scene she is in.

I think Amazon have committed to a third series but no mention of anything beyond that. The fact that other local farmers are struggling and were going to work as a co-operative on the restaurant was a great idea. Would not only employ people in the restaurant but also a lot of local people in the supply chain, Clarkson doesnt have spout some pish in his newspaper article but this show highlights so many issues that Govt and local authorities are guilty of in hindering farmers. Despite all the stressful nonsense there are still plenty of laughs and a lot of educational stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite all the stressful nonsense there are still plenty of laughs and a lot of educational stuff. no matter peoples views on clarkson, these two series has shown the difficulty farmers have in having a sustainable business especially since brexit and the lack of a replacement of the EU grants. The couple of big things for me was the dairy farmer woman, her business was not going backrupt due to clarksons farmshop selling it and the restuarant would have helped further. Second is that supermarkets pay what £1500-£1800 for a full cow carcass, yet we saw the startup costs meant they would have to sell 100s of cows to cover the initial investment. Us as consumers are partly to blame for that along with the supermarkets as we want our food to be as cheap as possible not realising/caring that it is squeezing farmers.

Add to that those pesky badgers. So much red tape that farmers need to adhere to that there is no way they can continue as they are. If the farmers sell up, who is going to buy the land? More than likely property developers and I bet their planning applications would get through ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good. It is an interesting story. Some surprises. Been criticised for being too sympathetic to the robbers but I thought it was more real with some very realistic characters. Could equally have been criticised for being too sympathetic to the Police. Worth a watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watching the first episode of that. Guy picks up a bar of gold in the lock up with one hand and waves it like it was a big bar of chocolate. It weighs around 12 kilo ffs!! It's like picking up 12 bags of sugar!! Wee bit realism wouldn't go amiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dramatisation of two cases from the memoirs of DCI Colin Sutton. I thought both were worth a decent watch.

Don't know how I missed, bloody annoying. A great watch. Going to buy books on this story. 6 episodes don't do it justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
