Hidden Assets is an excellent series, Season 2 was on Irish tv earlier in the year and is a step up from the very good S1 - more dramatic this time. Good choice.

Last night I watched a tribute to Mike Yarwood on BBC4 with Rory Bremner.
Saw this photo of Yarwood with Richard O’Sullivan taken last year at Brinksworth House in Twickenham. I must admit I was quite moved to see these two stars in their old age. The programme showed the brilliance of Mike Yarwood’s impressions.

Why aren’t they both wearing a cravat?

A friend wore one in the early 70’s but they were old fashioned then. Brinksworth House, which you probably know is a retirement home for actors and is a couple of miles from where I live and Man About the House, O’ Sullivan’s well known sit-com was made in Teddington Studios just down my road.
Starting from scratch with series 1, we have now got to the last episode of series 8 of Shetland. Shall watch it tonight.
Have really enjoyed the programme. Will miss Perez, I think. The new Lady in series 8 seems not only irresponsible but also quite annoying.
Shetland has a population of less than 25,000 and the body count must make it one of the most dangerous places in the world, so I won’t be going there anytime soon.
Nice to watch a series where the plots and the characters have time to develop.

Try Hinterland - fairly similar but set in Wales.

I assume you’ve already devoured every season of Vera. If not, that should be your next port of call.

I see Vera is written by the same writer. We did watch some early Vera, but found her a bit annoying. Will give it another try, thank you.

It gets much, much better.
And add Saint Marie to your list of places to avoid.

I used to wear one sometime around the late 60s, early 70s. Very old fashioned, but also very comfortable. It’s a shame they are not worn these days.
Vigil (the new one) was quite good. Not very realistic, but good none-the-less

Half way through the 1st series of Vigil, enjoying it.

Watched the Morecambe and Wise Christmas Show from 1971 on BBC4 a couple of nights ago – many of their shows are on iPlayer.
Of course, the 1971 show includes that great guest appearance by the now late Mr. Andre Preview. Wonderful stuff…and from a time when true superstars (Jackson, Bassey et al) would regard an invitation by M&W as a badge of honour.

Difficult decisions today.
Jumanji, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beet- - -, Big or stick with live Dr Who and Ghosts. My inner child will decide.
I feel like watching Groundhog Day, it’s a funny thing but it always feels like it should be a Christmas movie, even though it’s not.
