What TV are you watching?

I watched some last night and was really disappointed or maybe frustrated (turned off after a bit as so frustrating). I spent several months travelling the area they were in and each place I was thinking "they'll be there for a week there is so much to see there" and they were moving on next day!. Missing so much amazing stuff just daft.

Lol....sort of the aim of the programme...but I take your points.
Spent a year traveling through China and probably more on various trips to India when younger.Great reminiscing about it 😁

I'm moving on to the Last of Us next. I don't pay for Sky so I have to be prepped and ready to watch on a special offer or some such.

I pay for three subs, so this one comes from the Computer (PC) of 'magic tricks' that's under the telly !

No, it's in, out, gone. They have to decide if they want to experience the place or get motoring. If they are running out of cash, there are pre-arranged 'work' options to earn a few quid, or get a bed/meal for the night.

Watched two episodes of Dept Q on Netflix last night, seems pretty decent. A bit of a Slow Horses vibe, misfits in a different department solving crime. So far so good though.

speaking of which, I watched the 2009 series of "Day of the Triffids". Starring Joely Richardson and Douggray Scott. Quite good. Quite dated. A bit boring and a bit silly. ok it wasn't that good.

the 1981 BBC version is by far the best, IMO.

will give that a go some time, although I know the plot now......

After finishing Deutschland 83 I'm now almost at the end of 86, well worth a watch if you've not seen them before.

We loved the Deutschland trilogy - I lived in Germany from 1978-81 and the ‘83 series in particular brought back some of the Cold War fears and memories I have of the time.

I was 7 when I watched that. I remember it as being absolutely terrifying!

I didn't mind them. They couldn't do stairs at that point.
