Only about 40 years late, but we just watched the first episode of " The Singing Detective" with Gambon. Blimey!! Looking forward to the rest.

Interesting. Which platform is it on please?
I found the Yellowstone spin offs just a little too tough, least they’re telling you how it was rather than sugar coat it. I found the treatment in the so called Christian schools made me so damn angry I think I turned it off.

1923 isn’t quite panning out as I expected it to - a few distinctly unpleasant sub-plots in the last couple of episodes I could happily do without, a shame because I’ve found it extremely entertaining for the most part with spectacular locations and lavish cast extras.
Warts and all I guess.
Started ‘Expats’ on Amazon Prime last night. It’s promising, if you can handle how uptight everyone is.

Great documentary on BBC last night. Beautifully filmed. Daley: Olympic Superstar

I was at the eye hospital yesterday.
When asked why I hadn’t persevered with the new eye drops.
I was ready… I had this photo on my phone.
Got an opthalmic grin.
Yep, I watched that. He can still act a bit of a twit but a proven winner and that’s what mattered most to him.

Quite enjoying the " First Night of the Proms" on BBC. However the two main presenters seem completely irrelevant and unqualified in the subject matter imho, and it shows, sadly.

I guess it’s going to go one of two ways!!!
But I’m willing to bet it doesn’t have leetle things. ‘itting each other.

Doesn’t look promising from the poster
SUSPECT SERIES 2 - Channel 4.
Clunky plot, mediocre acting - flop.

I’m a bit of a late arriver to 3 Body Problem but what an excellent series it’s been so far (2 episodes to go) apparently season 2 has already been commissioned which will cover the 2nd book The Dark Forest in Liu Cixin trilogy but the final book Death’s End will probably take a couple of series to cover as it is such a large book.

Theres a Chinese adaptation available on Prime titled ‘Three Body’. Its got good reviews and being 30 episode long give more time for character development. It plays down some of the cultural revolution set events though and also, only the first two episodes are free currently.

We’ve just finished watching this on Channel 4, where it’s under the English title Off Grid. It’s long at 12 episodes but well worth watching, with a great ending.

Some great music!
Finally watched the last episode of " The Singing Detective" last night.
Brilliant, Bonkers, Thought Provoking, etc etc. Gambon was extraordinary in it. Highly recommended if not seen. Still on iplayer I think.
