I thought somewhere to comment on or suggest TV programs might be a good subject as it tends to get put in amongst other threads so not easy to find later on.

We watched the last of the Vigil series on Friday night, it's been quite well done, about faslane and Russian spies on a submarine, also started the second series of Manhunt with Clunsie playing a very odd part as a rozza.

Also a really good USA series, man with a plan, very funny.

Ray.

We went mad during the initial lockdown and bought a DALI Kubik One 'soundbar'. DALI are loudspeaker manufacturers and operate their own studios for various musicians. They record the music, then tweak the Speakers to get as close to the studio recording, using bamboo speaker cones, aluminium chassis,etc and NO electronic gizmo, apart from a USB connector to link the sound to the TV ... I put 'soundbar' in inverted commas, because DALI were adamant that they had built a Speaker! The low level sound quality and the ability to broadcast the new 'breathing speak' [mumbling] of actors is really rather good!

There is a penalty to pay in price, weight and size and there is a wee rats nest wiring but the sound quality makes it worthwhile. The Scandi Noir dramas are brilliant!

My last post seems to have been duplicated. Sorry!

Anyway, we stumbled across 'Cry Wolf' a Danish drama on Walter Presents via All 4 Catch Up. Watched the first 2 episodes on Friday night, and intended to watch a further 2 last night. Ended up watching the final 6 episodes in a binge, and slunk off to bed at 2am ... Oops!

Started watching the new ITV police bomb disposal drama "Trigger Point" last night. Kate out of Line of Duty is in it

Pretty much playing the same character just with bombs.

Its had mixed reviews and its no line of Duty but I found myself whizzing through the first three episodes back to back. Fast moving and fairly gripping but I suspect it will be a one off.

Anyone else watching/watched The Terror on BBC?

We are around 5-6 episodes in and it's quite gripping.

Not sure if it's a good idea to watch this or not.

Anyone wasted 4 hours watching The Holiday on Channel 5 this week.?
What a load of twaddle and rubbish. The plot was pathetic, the acting was even worse and the audio and diction just made it impossible to understand.

I knew PB was restarting but has Killing Eve also restarted? Serious question as we are away and not watching live Tv to get adverts for new stuff...

KE was always a bit weird though tbh...

Liz has always said if I wanted to stray she doesn't have the right to stop me, we're not married, however, she is a wimmin so prone to change of the mind variety so it'd have to be someone special and she isn't special enough to incur the wrath of Liz.

Now I might risk one eye on that there Scarlet Johannsson.

Just read that Paul O'Grady's show has been pulled from Radio 2. He says it is a management decision that means he gets a 13 week contract followed by a 13 week absence. Seems a bit weird to me.
