Wolfie

Richard E Grant & Rosamund Pike are fabulous in it. Favourite line for me was Rosamund's on her previously being a lesbian 😆 I saw it for the second time at the weekend (first time for Mrs Wolfie) and enjoyed it just as much again. A few "Eeeeewww"s from her but my favourite comment was "Oh god, he's not going to an "American Pie" is he?!" 7.5/10

Oh I agree it's definitely a pure entertainment show nowadays. Sugar doesn't even invest in the companies any more, it's just a £250k prize that they can spend as they like. The serious business aspect of it went out of the window years ago. I basically watch it out of schadenfreude, enjoying it when they get found out for being generally rubbish. I therefore couldn't name any of the winners in the past 10 years, so can't comment on what they've done since.

A guilty pleasure of mine. To be honest, I often skip through a lot of the task stuff. Highlight of the first epiosde was the lad that made an arse of himself by not understanding what refunds were, in the boardroom, and started clapping like they'd won.

Have we never had an analyst here before? or at least recently. Seems odd if so. I just assumed all clubs did this nowadays.

Charlton? 19th in the league and 21 points off the playoffs. That Charlton?

I bet he would have bought us a striker. Just sayin..... 😉

Are we nearly there yet?....

I think I liked it more than you did but agree. Pfeiffer was indeed excellent. I was more disappointed with Death on the Nile, which I didn’t think was anywhere near as good as the Ustinov version. Also the Venice one was weird - but I do want to watch it again, as I think I nodded off and missed something important!

Anatomy of a fall (rent on Prime) Heard really good things about this. It won last year's Palme D'Or at Cannes and really highly rated on imdb. A woman is accused of murdering her husband, after he falls from a 3rd floor window at their mountain chalet. Characters & acting top notch - especially Sandra Hueller as the lead and Milo Machado Graner, as her blind son. Story maybe not so much, though more of it was in french (with subtitles) than I was expecting, which I personally find quite distracting. Oh, and half an hour too long (2 1/2 hours). Not bad. 6.5/10

1 point now between 1st and 4th !

Derby 2-0 Cheltenham frgs: Collins

I'm watching Schitt's Creek again but this time while at the gym. I can normally get away with a few chuckles without raising too many eyebrows but last night was the one with this bit in it... Laughter from me and strange looks all round

Stumbled across Professor T on ITVX last night & enjoyed the first 2 episodes. I do like Ben Miller.

Wrong thread

I've decided to stick with it & do enjoy it - as long as I skip the pointless challenges. I don't think Paul will last til the end. They've started to work out that it's the popular & "leader" ones being killed off - so why is Paul still in?. Logic dictates he must be the one murdering the others.

ITK Moor Farm earlier

...and still can't spell club 😜

Agreed but to me it just comes back to the issue on the other thread as well about shambolic public procurement. Who drew up these terrible one sided contracts in the first place?. You can't blame any organisation for operating according to the contract they've signed with DfT or Treasury or whoever. If it's the case that the contracts have got to be that attractive in order to attract bidders, then that surely must say something about whether the private sector should be involved in the first place - or at least it shows that there's very little or no competition between prospective train operators who want to operate the services.
