I'll be watching Piers Morgan interviewing Ronaldo tonight.
I've seen a few of the Morgan interviews and I think he does an excellent job.
I know he's a bit Marmite, but I like him.

I watched the full series of State of the Union, with Chris O'Dowd & Rosamund Pike, last night. Written by Nick Hornby & directed by Steven Frears.

Excellently acted and written.

It's only 10 minutes long, and features the two of them playing a married couple who are going through problems, and they are shown in the pub having a drink just before they go over the road to see their marriage counsellor.

Good call - thanks. Downloaded and watched three episodes already!

The man is disgrace over his paper publishing fake abuse pictures - one day he might actually apologise for what he did but then he has as much morals as the red top papers he was involved in.

Disgusting human being

Started the new series of Top Boy on Netflix last night. Not sure how it will compare to the original C4 versions but time will tell.

I also started watching The Rap Game UK on iPlayer, definitely not going to be everyone's cup of tea but I enjoyed the first episode.

Top boy is really good,maybe better than the C4 series.

Just watched the 1st episode of Pennyworth, comedy/drama/crime set in the early 60s, the story of Batman's butler Alfred (y).
Paloma Faith is good in ep 1.
I hope the rest is as good

We just finished binge-watching S1 and S2 of Keeping Faith. Good enough - but to be honest I rather enjoyed the soundtrack a bit more than the story itself - which was the usual combination these days of a too clever and/or confusing (for us) plot and often very difficult to hear dialogue - a difficulty compounded at times by most of the cast speaking with a quite strong Welsh accent (bit rich I admit coming from a Glaswegian). That said I thought Eve Myles was splendid - as was the filming, and south Wales looked rather nice.

Might have a look at I-Land.

The Keeping Faith theme

The interview was decent but wouldn't say it was excellent as most are saying. Ronnie came across extremely well, honest and genuine. It's a shame it was just an hour that he had with him. It could have been longer and covered other subjects (Fergie, Jose, RM, etc.). PM was a little bit fawny I thought.

Can't stand the lead actress (actor-ess!) which put me off BUT that theme tune is an absolute stunner.

Sky Arts 40-year series on Quadrophenia. Cannot believe the state of Toyah and Leslie Ash. Both look like plastic waxworks that went hideously wrong.
Great memories and stories on an iconic film.

I'm 2 into City on the Hill on Sky Atlantic. Not sure yet. A lot of the language and delivery is hard to hear / understand so you have to concentrate but it has the potential to be very good. The cast is excellent so is worth sticking with for a while.
