What TV are you watching?

I enjoyed it though. I definitely think this is turning out to be a good series. I like the boss lady and the assistant.

I think the reason they pulled it was because of a stabbing that occurred at the weekend and was a bit similar to the storyline.

Yes it was a good one .
I suppose that makes sense

Apparently, due to the rescheduling of the episodes, Jack's unfortunate facial hair stylings will reappear next week.

Tonight’s viewing will be Call the Midwife followed by Lord of the Flies.

I have high hopes for the latter, based on the reviews. I know it's a classic book, but I've never managed to read it or watch the whole of previous adaptations - I think because it's such a grim story, I needed to be in the right mood!

Also recorded to watch later this week - and with high hopes - Small Prophets, the new thing from Mackenzie Crook, and hopefully very much in the same spirit as Detectorists.

Tonight's episode of silent witness was another good one

I can recommend Our Yorkshire pub rescue with Jon Richardson. Especially tonights episode at 9pm on Channel 4 as my cycling club is in it, Ryedale Velo and said Mr Richardson borrowed a bike and did one of rides that day.

Is this suitable for youngsters? Mine are 12 and nearly-9, and fairly robust. Google is not very helpful, suggests that there might be strong language. I don’t think a shit or a bastard is going to be a problem, but I don’t really want fucks and c*nts.

I'll put that in watch list thanks.

My local has had 5! managers in the last 12 months, the feeling is it will be sold for housing. A shame as the last good managers were very good, but as is common with brewery owned pubs they didn't make enough profit and were disposed of.

I'm lucky that my town has around 7 pubs within a (good) walking distance, and one of the best ones is a 'wet' pub only so no food but it does very well.

I do feel that towns and villages that lose their pubs have lost something they'll never get back. 1 of my near pubs does a knit and knatter book club for instance, another helps organise all the remembrance day parade stuff.

Sorry bit of a meander there!

That makes sense as most food establishments make their money on the drinks.
Food is usually just to get footfall.

The pub in question is the Plough at Fadmoor North Yorkshire, the owner is guy who made his money with some tech company and bought a big shooting estate and the pub came with it along with the Royal Oak in Gillamoor the next village. He made a statement that he would keep them both open but he ran the Plough in to ground closed then applied for planning permission to turn it in to offices for the estate.
Fortunately the council refused it and eventually with the help of a government grant the village plus others bought it.

I don’t remember much swearing and Mrs W who binged watch the whole series said she couldn’t remember anything shocking and she’s swearing adverse.

I made it on to the telly although it was just a back view of me sat on the cross bar of my Bianchi, I’ve got an orange gillet on with a reflective strip at the bottom. It’s a blink and you’ll miss it moment. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Most of the folk with Jon I’ve never seen on a club run. 😂😂😂

Tried to get into Severance as everyone has been raving about it and it's one awards. We still can't get into it. I'm usually into that sort of thing, and would probably have persevered if my partner was interested, but she wasn't. So that;s now on the list of "tried it but meh"

I watched with the Mrs last night. Actually binged the whole thing from start to finish. It's good and, sort of, a bit like the same gentle humour as Detectorists.

I'd say fine for kids in the main. There was the odd "f*ck" and "w**ker" but in low single figures over the whole series if my memory serves - maybe 2 "f*cks" and 2 "w**kers" in the whole thing.

Cheers. I watched the first ep this morning while on the turbo; I think it'll be okay for PG family viewing.
