This should be fun. At least I have managed to get the face plate, zig zag foot and needle out. I could be sometine

Too many pages to catch up but has anyone else commented on Marriage on BBC?

Watched the lot on iPlayer and it is without doubt the worst BBC drama I have ever seen - and I have seen lots.

Tedious in-extremis.

Dreadful opening/closing 'music' too.

Shame as Walker & Bean are fine actors.

I hope she didn't decide to quit Unforgotten to do something like this then as it sounds like a big mistake. I was going to catch up on it but probably won't now after all the bad reviews.

I recorded the first episode but as so many have commented on how bad it was, I have deleted it without watching it.

Morning all . So glad it’s a bit cooler today also so glad to be back on the haven of niceness in the online forum world ( don’t ask, I had spat with someone on a sailing forum yesterday lol )
You lot don’t know how lucky you are as you only see the nice ( ish) side of me in the thread 😂😂😂😂.
Anyway folks have a great day and try and stay dry 😀

Just read that twitter was alight with poor reviews although the TV Critics loved it! Sheep!

Nothing wrong with Walker's acting although Bean's was very odd.

Watched E1 with high expectation.

E2 hoping it would improve.

E3 no idea why but swayed by Mrs SD who wanted to know where it was heading - she hated it.

E4 as we had invested time in E1 to E3. Goofy decision! 😁

Have to say I read the reviews , totally understand what points it was trying to make and agree with most of them but that means it was never going to be an easy watch. It’s not really main channel stuff these days. ( who remembers ‘ Play for today on prime time bbc1 lol ) .
It’s the sort of thing that would have been better as a slow burner on BBC 2 or on channel 4.

Cycle Chat appears to have a gremlin in it, I keep getting a "oops we've run into some problems" error message when I click on likes and stuff, strange.

I now have a Mr WD investigating 🔎 the problem

Mr WD is now rolling his eyes at me when he asked me what size screwdriver and nut I need to remove. How the hell do I know. Small?

1/8" Phillips screwdriver, not Posidrive. and 3/16" nut.

Note that some of the screws/nuts are brass, so a magnetic screwdriver won't work.

We've doing well for vehicle thefts last night a Ranger Rover and a Ford Transit tipper.
Now who would take these vehicles answers in a postcard

I could hazard a guess but someone might jump in with the discrimination card! I suspect they might live in a caravan.

Why would Dirk nick a Range Rover?

He only had them in case he needed them. Didn't actually use them

Not that he'd have been able to use them!
