1971fozzy Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Watching a BBC mini series we had on the planner called ‘Life’ 4 episodes in (6 in total) and it’s very good. About 4 flat households in a large house and all the intervening connections. Has Peter Davidson in it as well as the stunning Saira Choudry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The priest is obviously coming into it more but I think her boyfriend (the author) could be a dark horse. I don’t think the person tonight was involved in the murder. I think it could be the other priest. Not the one the focus is on the now. See what you mean about the dark horse Guy Pierce character. Only because of an big actor like him playing such a small part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Fredrickson Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 BBC Iplayer has all the Silent Witness episodes on it. My late father used to enjoy the show but I hadnt seen it before. It is so bad but compulsive viewing. All of the police staff are incompetent and it is always the pathologists who do all the detective work.

GinRummy Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Nail Bomber - Manhunt. Superb documentary about the 1999 London nail bombings and the people involved in catching and convicting him.

You know the thing that got me about the nail bombing documentary. It’s that here you had a racist group, many of its members threatening all sorts of minorities, yet the authorities didn’t seem to see them as a real threat. I just found that baffling.
