OoooMarkWright Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Agree about The Last Dance. Fantastic to see the psychology that goes into a true winner, the drive, the motivation, the dedication to be the best. It‘s a superb sports documentary that focuses on one of the greatest athletes who has graced this earth. The inner confidence that man has is incredible. Jordan comes across well, really driven to win and pushes all of his team mates buttons to get there. A fascinating and very entertaining watch, even if your not into basketball.

The 40 for 40 ESPN documentary on Jordan attempting a baseball career during his break from the Bulls is worth watching. I haven't seen The last dance, so not sure if its covered in there.

Two episodes to go of the Last Dance, easily one of the best documentaries I’ve seen, love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1967Ram Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Currently re-watching Mad Dogs on NowTV (Sky) though not sure I've seen all the seasons. Brilliant TV - funny, bloody scary, emotional. ariotofmyown and Tamworthram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ketteringram Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I know it's more about TV shows....but, Watchable Telly.. Does anyone on here use a recent ish LG TV? Our set, LG , but is at least 12 years old . With the newer ones, I've read so much about the web OS and the magic remote etc. Some seem to love it, and others say it's rubbish. I realise you get opinions like that about pretty much anything! Just wondered if anyone was using it, and their opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TramRam Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I've been watching a programme about a group of people in WW2, Where they dress up as Soldiers and patrol where they live, The Captain is a bit aloof, His Sergeant is the clever one, Then there's this Corporal who's a Butcher, He keeps saying don't panic don't panic...very funny it is, An old chap called Godfrey, He always needs the bathroom and won't pee outside, A soppy lad called Pike he always gets into trouble, He makes me laugh. All the Wives in the Village where they live often go to the Butchers to get an extra sausage, The Corporal often gives them one. ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracking television although i had to replace it. Id left it on sky sports for so long, it screen burnt the ticker! The newer versions have improved this, but with my voucher, i got the Sony instead. ketteringram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Gangs of London, wow! Get on it, best program since Peaky Blinders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dialogue ain't that great, some characters are a bit one - dimensional, but the action scenes are just amazing. The missus was unimpressed, she much preferred Giri Haji.. But my eldest sat down and just went wowww, was just eyes wide loving it .... Think its possibly one aimed at the male population. Peaky Blinders is a good comparison but the action scenes are on a different level in GOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep Giri/Haji is great, just a different beast to Gangs of London. Currently working my way through Caliphate. Its good. Its a slower, tenser animal with none of the lighter notes of humour of Giri /Haji. I think it handles difficult subject matter really well without being totally gripping in a 'I need to see the next episode now' way!

We're currently on episode 5 of 8 of Kalifat (different spelling but I assume it's the same series). I want to see how it pans out, but I'm finding it a bit slow at the moment. Unfortunately I can't find Gangs of London over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detectorists is comfortably one of the best shows of the last decade. On 13/05/2020 at 12:12, Tamworthram said: I thought I'd set your expectations low then you may be pleasantly surprised.

I imagine most are aware of it as it’s not new but it’s truly excellent It's just finished after 11 series and does tail off a bit but the first few series are excellent. I must have watched the yard sale episode 10 times. Love that one. If you like that, then I'd recommend Life in Pieces as well. nottingram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a great fan of Brooker’s comedy to be honest, but it was an ok watch. It will be meat and drink though I would have thought for any Socialist/Remainers who frequent this forum. I think there are a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
