    TV - What Are You Watching?

    Just finished Wonder Man. A marvel series with next to no action scenes and I character driven and a study of Hollywood. Really good. Also Fallout season 2, continued the good work from season 1

    Has that been announced anywhere. I know he is consulting but I thought he had signed for Scotland for the world cup

    Perfect sense to play Dingwall and Freeman this week. They have not been in camp that long, they have been playing together at club level for the last few weeks (very well) and you were only ever going to experiment against Wales or Italy. As the penultimate match, no point with Italy as if it...

    Banshee was a class series, really enjoyed that and it did not overstay it's welcome. An older series that I still love is The Shield. Mentioned it loads but just an amazing cop drama

    Watson, basically house with a modern spin on Sherlock Holmes characters dotted around and in the ongoing back story. Actually a reasonable watch

    SPOTY 2025

    Exactly sports just like that which are part of the Olympics give them the chance to grow a wider audience by putting them on terrestrial TV. Something like the old grandstand with different sports every week

    SPOTY 2025

    Fair points but the idea of the licence fee was that the BBC could broadcast niche viewing without a worry about audiences. With the Olympics I love that it is free to sit but I would sell the rights with an obligation to promote and broadcast some of the lesser known events year round that are...

    SPOTY 2025

    It is an age old argument to which there is no right or wrong answer but think how many sports being celebrated you can buy the rights to for the cost of match if the day and the fa cup. How many sports could get shown week in week out of the BBC were not just interested in the Crown Jewel...

    SPOTY 2025

    The change is that it used to be Sports Review of the Year and the award was presented as part of it. Now the BBC has so few TV rights that it cannot do a detailed review of the year as it has no footage. This year at least they have rights to the two successful women's teams but aside from that...

    Online Shopping

    The irony that you see mainstream high Street shops bemoaning the lack of foot traffic and customers yet push online only deals or hold no stock and so you are buying online anyway to pick up a few days later. If shops want people back on the high street then offer in store only deals

    It is also a marketing thing. Not going to sell those away shirts for Xmas if they never wear them. Also with England there is no clash in the 6 nations or against most of the southern hemisphere teams. Argentina is the only time they really need to wear them.
