The Simon and Garfunkel references are brilliant, I can't believe they just stand there and let Lance rip the piss. 😂

Obviously, as part of Software Development teams, I had remote access to a Client's computer to fault find an application, even in the 1990's, using dial-up modem technology.
One of the main problems was the unaudited editing using remote access. I remember that in business critical applications, a strict procedure was needed to be adhered to and witnessed.

All part of the gentle charm, I never felt like he was really being mean.

Detectorists....I've probably watched it,the whole series three times and still love it.What is it about it that makes it so good ?
I even recommended it to a good friend of mine in America,not her usual sort of viewing but she loved it.Such a beautiful watch that's funny and moving at the same time.
Right thanks @stephec I'm gonna have to watch it again now 😁

I feel exactly the same way about it. Perfect to unwind with.
I've probably mentioned it on here before, but Bob and Mortimer Go Fishing has very similar vibes.
Just, wholesome and thoroughly pleasant to watch. Realistic too without over-exaggerating everything; it takes pleasure in the little things and unashamedly so.
As far as I am concerned, one of the greatest series on TV I've ever had the pleasure to watch.

Agreed.
I love trying to explain it to people too. Because it's not really about anything, and yet it is.
Really enjoyed the evolution of topics they discussed too.
My partner described it as if was me going down the pub with a couple of mates and just talking bowlacks

We've started watching "The Way". It's a good mix of political and social dystopia, and traditional drama. Soundtrack is spot-on for the feel of the show, and the actors are good (including Dave from "Dave Coaches" - Gavin and Stacey)

When I first discovered it mine (at the time) came in and said
"What on earth is this. Fishing? Do they actually catch anything?"
"Not often, but it's glorious when they do."
"I'm not watching this."
"Fine. And away..."
I suppose it's not a surprise that we split up.
There is a social media frenzy involving the usual suspects about that program . Probably best reserved for the other forum !

Manifest (Netflix): I started watching it months ago but 5 minutes in realised that UK Netflix only has seasons 1 and 4, so I gave up. Now I have a VPN, US Netflix has all 4 seasons. It is a good mix of almost B-movie type acting and CGI at times, but also reminiscent of the Final Destination series of films. Seasons are very long (16 episodes in the 1st) and like with any long-running series, there are a few episodes that drag on and you just have to stick at it (I'm looking at you, The Walking Dead).
We can always tell when we're enjoying a series as we just watch nothing else until it's finished, which we are doing with this one

Loved it, but the writers seemed to loose all interest when it came to the final episode. What a let down!
I recently happened across an 80s drama called The Franchise Affair... set in post war Britain, a woman and her mother are accused of kidnapping and beating a 15 year old. The final episode of that had all the twists and turns of a truly great drama. Faultless, in my book.

Call the midwife and Trigger point were both good tonight and I think they were both last of current series
