‘Wheeltappers and Shunters Club’ on TPTV. The return to 1974 is now complete…

The Motorbike Show s.13(!) on ITV4.

Started watching Wolf Hall 2. Serious production and acting. Quite scary in a lot of ways.

Finally finishes all episodes of “Day of the Jackal”.

Blimey, and the ending of course was, well, …

We’re currently watching the Inspector George Gently series.
