Boat Story. Very enjoyable caper about two people in way over their heads. Great cast. Quirky but not overly so.

Unfortunately Bob went back into hospital very recently. In his words “I’m not very healthy at the moment”. Hang in there Bob.

Mate, sometimes it’s great to watch a bit of eye food!

I thought I’d maybe seen Capture before or something like it. Then saw this it is a second series so I think I’ve watched a series one? But I’m not sure there was a series one. It obviously made a huge impact on me. So much so that I’m not sure if it even exists :-)

Used to love Shetland. Wasn’t feeling this one, might go back to it. Crossfire was not very good. Didn’t bother with Capture. Everything is too focussed on being the next Line Of Duty without acknowledging that it was pretty shit for the last three series.

I really wanted to like this. Great cast. But I have to say I was bored to tears by minute 20. Sean Bean seems to just act like an 80 year old man in all his recent stuff. I’m going to go back and give it another go but I found it quite jarring and rather humdrum. I know they are going for...

The Tourist. Drama with Jamie Dornan, not the crap Johnny Depp film.

I quite enjoyed the remake but the original trilogy, brilliant.

Has it? I really don’t know but I usually find him wooden and unable to deliver a line with any gravitas. Except for this, Children Of Men and that film from the early 90’s where he’s shagging his sister played the lovely Saskia Reeves.

Impeachment Dramatisation of the Clinton and Lewinsky affair. Really rather good. Clive Owen plays Clinton. Probably one of two things I’ve seen him in where he surprises himself by being able to act. He’s strangely good in this.

The criminally underrated detective drama, Shetland is back on the beeb. Love this.

Twin.

Indeed I have. Differs from the novel but not unreasonably. Yes, I’m enjoying it.

Reading the book at the moment. It's great too,

BBC Sounds - Bunkbeds. A really great series. Hard to explain but everyone I have recommended it to has been hooked.

The Investigation is very good. Procedural drama about the true crime from 2017 where that pervert built a submarine and raped and murdered a journalist on it. It's very good. It also has subtitles to keep the riff raff away.
