Although I have it on DVD, I'll be watching it as loved it as a kid. Even bought the book from the school bookwork club. Makes me feel old mind you. 😁 Think the Blu-ray is due to be released later this month. Omg mate, I adored that series and tried to find it on YouTube but episodes are sparse. Tried to get my kids into it as its still a tradition of mine to watch it, but no cgi etc so I had no hope at converting them lol. That intro tho 😊😊 Quote

superjack Posted November 21, 2024 Posted November 21, 2024 Just watched the 1st episode of only child. Thought it was quite funny at times. I did think at the start, how can someone with a weegie accent like Gregor Fisher have a son with a Morningside accent like Greg mchugh? I'm surenill have finished the series by the end of the weekend. Quote
Tommy Brown Posted November 22, 2024 Posted November 22, 2024 Hunting Mr Nice: The Cannabis Kingpin. BBCiplayer 2× 1 hrs episodes, great story of Welsh Oxford grad who became the world's biggest marijuana smugglers. Going to buy the book he orignally wrote which named all his accomplices with their code names (which helped the DEA) Quote

Obviously, he only reveals details that are already known to the authorities. However, the film based on the book is shite. Quote
PortyJambo Posted November 23, 2024 Posted November 23, 2024 I see the Day of the Jackal has been renewed for a second season, so I'm assuming it doesn't end as it does in the book/film, or not in this first season anyway Quote

I had read that last week and my reading of it was that they were upset about being reminded about it rather than disputing how the story was told. Must be hard for the family but it was a story I was unfamiliar with. Watched a lot of documentaries on Iplayer about a year ago. Quote
Malinga the Swinga Posted November 25, 2024 Posted November 25, 2024 Was surprised by If on Sky. Way better than I thought it was going to be and good to see Ryan Reynolds playing role out with his usual. Definitely one for the family Quote

periodictabledancer Posted December 1, 2024 Posted December 1, 2024 'Cheaters' on BBC. Starts off like a usual English ' Notting Hill' kind of romantic drama but after two episodes it's like ' ok, buckle up, let's go'. The characters, the script , the comedy moments ..... so well done. I'm not saying anything about the plot line because there's so many and the subject matter ( that you have no clue is coming) is very taboo. Each episode is only around 10 mins. Quote
Romulus Posted December 2, 2024 Posted December 2, 2024 Just finished both series of Irvine Welsh’s Crime. Day of the Jackal also been excellent so far. Quote

A master class in acting - cant praise it enough. The first series was up there with the best. Early Doors is still on I Player to watch. 2 series of outstanding comedy Edited December 3, 2024 by benny Quote
Ray Gin Posted December 3, 2024 Posted December 3, 2024 The Walk In (netflix) Decent drama about the infiltration of a far right group of neo nazi terrorists, starring Stephen Graham. Quote

Day of the Jackal - With reservations about the selection of the two lead actors, it’s been rescued by the script/sceenplay/storyline and it’s actually pretty watchable, although probably best if you haven’t read the book 7/10 Quote
Bender Posted December 6, 2024 Posted December 6, 2024 (edited) Working through Say Nothing on Disney+ now. 2/10, some amount of whitewashing going on. "We're willing to die for our struggle!" Good for you, I'm not sure how many of the innocent civilians you murdered agreed with your take. Edited December 6, 2024 by Bender Quote

Ulysses Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 I watched A Man On The Inside (1 series so far, 8 short episodes) on Netflix. Comedy starring Ted Danson as a retired professor and widower who takes an assignment with a private detective agency and goes undercover to investigate thefts in a retirement home. It won't tax the brain too much, but it's enjoyable to watch with enough laughs to make it worth sticking with. Quote
Tazio Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 Black Doves on Netflix. Entertaining take on spy thrillers. Quote

Martin B Posted December 8, 2024 Posted December 8, 2024 Wheel of Time Season 3 coming in March. First two seasons nowhere as good as the books but still an enjoyable watch. Quote
