Proper John thaw and Dennis waterman.

We started Series 3 of Detectorists on BBC iPlayer last night. If you haven't seen these then I recommend them. they are delightfully understated British comedy I think. Most episodes get a laugh out load and all make me smile.

 

[Pudsey_Bear]

Bit too daft for me.

We watched ,Four Lives , on bbc1 . A good portrail of a real store, incredible the police failed so badly and watch part of the documentary about the real thing and surprised how close they matched the actors to the real people.

Missed that Nick. Probably cos we spend too much time looking for something watchable on Netflix.

Bit too daft for me.

I don't find it daft tbh mate: for me it's quite subtle and very understated I think. Nice to see the late Diana Rigg in it as well.

If we all liked the same thing there would be no wars, then where would we be???

 

[Pudsey_Bear]

I quite like a good quiz, Connect or Uni challenge if I'm in the mood, I quite like Jimmy carrs new one, but this one start tonight and if they get the right contestants it might be good.

Shame about the presenters but we'll give it a coat of looking at.

You should have a higher opinion of yourself Ray.


Oh I forgot, you already do > >

 

[raynipper]

Can't stand game shows or Jimmy Carr. Just total time wasters imho.

Ray.

 

[Pudsey_Bear]

Anything on TV etc is a time-waster, but that's the object of it all, that and trying to sell you ****e you don't want or need.

Erin Brockovitch on 5* at 23:3

 

[GMJ]

23.30???

We go to bed at 9.

Hopefully well into the land of Nod by 11.30...

 

[Pudsey_Bear]

No PVR?

 

[GMJ]

Nope (I had to look up what PVR meant though :smile2

As you said above, TV is a time waster and everything goes on to catch up anyway, so we could watch it at our leisure at a time when we choose.

We have a smart TV with a separate freesat box which does us proud. The only downside with the LG TV is that they don't support the BT Sports App which means I have to plug the laptop into the telly to watch English rugby at the weekends.

 

[raynipper]

We have never managed Catch-Up yet. Mind only tried a while ago and as outside UK was blocked even with a VPN. So with PVR at home it's enough but on winter vacation it's live or Netflix. And some of the stuff on Netfix is cringeworthy imho.

Ray.

Wasn't it dire on mainstream tv last night? We ended up watching an old detective one with Martin Shaw in it. I love him. It was a bit un pc compared to modern drama but well acted. Have I mentioned that he lives near me? I had to give him the drugs that his dog needed, once, at the vets. He came in the waiting room with his motorcycle helmet on and did not take it off. He is absolutely paranoid about being recognised. Not that I blame him. He is a big animal lover and is patron of a nearby rescue centre.

 

[GMJ]

We watched the first half of Corrie on ITV and then Ep7 of Clickbait on Netflix.

Who remembers a series from the 80s or maybe 90s about a young girl who was raped by 2 men and she then de locked one of them, he died of course and her Dad took the blame for it. Grandad was always smelling the milk jug, that was something that was remarked on many times It’s annoying not remembering the name of the series.
