What TV are you watching?

[Flick of the Elbow]

Just binge watching Banjo’s and Jo’s Grand Island Hotel renovation. Banjo won interior grand masters and is an Australian who lives on the Isle of Mull.
So far myself and Mrs W are wetting our selves laughing as well as being in awe of some the renovations.
Mrs W is a massive fan of interior grand masters.

Another fan of Banjo here, in our case from watching the fabulous Scotland’s Home of the Year. Have only watched the first episode of the Hotel Renovation so far, looks good. Might have to go and stay in it once it’s done !

Started to watch Shogun, two episodes in and so far it's excellent. I read the book back in the day and that was really good.

I enjoyed the tv series back in the day. Read the book after, enjoyed that too.

Wasn't there one with Richard Chamberlain in the 80s ? I remember it being a thing but I had comics to read.

That'll be the back in the day version. I know it was on but I was too busy having fun to watch.

On episode 4 (of 6) of La Promesse (série télévisée, 2021) https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Promesse_(série_télévisée,_2021)
Really enjoying it. Well made, good story, etc.

Been on my Freeview box for ages, orginally recorded back in the days when BBC4 was showing some good stuff (rather than just old repeats ...)

You've played a blinder there, it's currently available seemingly nowhere on any uk streaming service.

I presume you are familiar with all the foreign series on the C4 app / Walter presents?
Some absolute gems on there, also the odd dud, but I'd say there's about a 75/25 split to be fair, and even the substandard ones are generally still entertaining.
One I will say to completely avoid is Fatal Crossing - it was shockingly bad.
Happy to recommend some series if you want :-)

Archer, I've just discovered this (very) adult cartoon on Netflix.

It's about a group of secret agents who sometimes do work for the CIA, very funny but not one to watch with your grandma. 😂

Watching Grantchester. I want to watch Patience too so I’ll catch up on it.

S2 of Patience tonight. Lots of nice shots of York, and nice to see Jessica Hynes playing a pretty unsympathetic character, for a change.

I was put off s1 a bit when they were obviously filming abroad for some reason. Took me out of the story.

Yes, pretty excited to watch S2 of Patience!

I still think the original french version was a bit better - partly because the central performance was soooooooooo good - but it's early days, and I do confess that subtitles add a little more effort to my sofa experience

 

[MontyVeda]

just started series five of Stranger Things.
