Due to Elis' marketing campaign I've started watching 'Elis James: Football Nation'.

It's very good.

We finished watching 'Time' last night.

Jimmy McGovern TV is just wonderful...Sean Bean and Stephen Graham are both superb.

I am never, ever going to prison.

All series of Spiral, the brilliant police drama based in Paris, are available on iplayer.

(Much loved on nsc).

The first series was such a long time ago, we can’t recall the outcome, we’ve just started watching it again.

As I said on the 'dangerous driving' thread:-


Oh and this has always been my opinion, but in the wake of 'Time' on BBC1, I'll reiterate,

I'm not saying 'pah 2 years I could do that standing on my head'.

I couldn't, I absolutely couldn't, I know full well I wouldn't even make it to the first play time.
2 years (1 year, 1 Christmas, possibly no Easter's missed! ) is terrifying.

That's not the point I'm making.
My point is 2 years v an entire life, plus family, changed by the actions of a man who was 'too stoned to brake' - really doesn't feel like justice.

Based on the acclaimed novel by Ian McGuire, the five-part series tells the story of Patrick Sumner (O’Connell), a disgraced ex-army surgeon who signs up as ship’s doctor on a whaling expedition to the Arctic. But the ferocity of the elements is matched by the violence of his crewmates, with Drax (Farrell), a harpooner and distinctly brutal force of nature.

As the true purpose of the expedition becomes clear, a confrontation between the two men erupts, taking them on a journey far from solid ground and beyond the safe moorings of civilisation.

The North Water will air on the channel in five 60-minute, parts and stars (the brilliant) Stephen Graham, Jack O’Connell and Colin Farrell (among others).

Just had a look at what films are on IPlayer, and they have:-




I'm sure it's appalling and has aged very badly, but come on!!

Wow, this is good.

Only two episodes in, steady pace but solid acting.

Get hold of it if you can.
