Landscapers (Sky /Now) - based on a real story apparently, really enjoyed it. Takes a very different tack to what you might think given the subject matter, but all the better for it. Highly recommended.
Just watched the New Year special Doctor Who. It was really rather good, where an assassination squad of Daleks and the Doctor are caught in a time loop trying to outwit each other. Good guest stars, definite peril and menace, pace, not to much exposition, and satisfactory conclusion without the cliched deus ex machina saving everyone at the end which has up to now been a recurring problem. Chibbs can write good stuff when he's on form, and the script as well as storytelling is pretty good
I enjoyed the first 2 episodes, but the last 2 went all weird and I didn’t really enjoy them.Landscapers (Sky /Now) - based on a real story apparently, really enjoyed it. Takes a very different tack to what you might think given the subject matter, but all the better for it. Highly recommended.

The best Doctor Who episode in quite some time. Recent Doctors have been let down by varying script quality which has on occasion been poor and overly reliant on Daleks and Cybermen but hopefully this shows a turning of the tide.
Still not sure about the tend of casting so many comedians though - is there a shortage of actors?
I suffered the first episode and thought it was crap...partner watched the whole series and thought the same.At least I only suffered a hour.The only Christmas telly better than Who:
The Girl Before
I didn't dare post until we'd finished it - for spoilers - so I can now declare this had us gripped; clever stuff in every episode, and I'm going to risk stating that it was truly original. With a nice ending too ...
Believe me, I have enjoyed fiction with much flimsier premises than that!I suffered the first episode and thought it was crap...partner watched the whole series and thought the same.At least I only suffered a hour.
I mean really,would you listen to the Landlords demands in the first place ?
I don't do robots,zombies,sci Fi in general very often.So I'd have been spared that thankfully.Believe me, I have enjoyed fiction with much flimsier premises than that!
There was thing about alien robots taking over a storage rental warehouse on New Years Eve, and ...
