A LOT of fairly unexpected violence too, so probably not for those of a nervous disposition Daisy Haggard is excellent as ever, as is Paterson Joseph (although I keep expecting him to go full Johnson out of Peep Show) And episode one has an excellent Whippet in it 😂 Some pals keep telling me to watch it. I'm pretty log jammed right now though but will grab for future viewing as it sounds like the perfect antidote to excess Xmas schmaltz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Just started watching 'Elementary' on Amazon Prime a couple of days ago. The series (all right, 7 series in excess of 150 episodes) was made by CBS and is a contemporary take on Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. 6 episodes in and really enjoying it.

Rev Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Have now finished Boat Story. Worra load of s****, I can't recall a series that started so promisingly yet ended so poor. A waste of the considerable talent assembled, I can see why the Beeb haven't pushed it. Stive Pesley and Wolfie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram-Alf Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Taboo with Tom Hardy in the lead role, A mate put me onto it, BBC iPlayer 8 episodes, 1814 London with the East India Company as the bad guys fighting over the rights to land on the USA/Canada border, Espionage, Torture, Sex, Corruption, Murder, Very good viewing...imo 👍 Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The British Army were basically formed to protect their interests. Ram-Alf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's more twisty turney things than a twisty turney thing, Why were so many USA Diplomats told not to board this plane in Helsinki, There was a telex telling all USA Government officials Not to board flights heading for the USA around Xmas time after Iran said there will be retribution for the USA after it downed an Iranian commercial flight in the Gulf during the Oil crisis. Hostages, Money, Oil, Double agents, German, UK, USA security personnel coming under great scrutiny, Radio parts allegedly planted, A break in at Heathrow Airport before the explosion. Abdelbaset Al-Megrahi released on compassionate grounds(Cancer)as he only had 3 months to live, He died 3 years later 🤓, Blair signing a contract with Gaddafi for a £900m contract for BP and the release of prisoners, The UK never had any prisoners in Libya, But Libya had 1 prisoner...Al-Megrahi 🙄 As for John Lydon's Wife...Nora Forster a German publishing heiress...was she tipped off 😉 forgetting your passport 😁 who'd have thought👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outstanding performance by Bella Ramsey as a young inmate. Well worth a watch. Just watched this. Wow.
