1st episode of a 3 parter on ITV last night - Sticks and Stones...pretty good start. Made me feel that anger in the pit of my stomach against one of the main characters. The sort of little...umm...git (!) who we've all come across and wished we could punch.

We watched that last night and thought it was a promising start.

I have just binge watched the first series of Britannia it's pretty good
Going to be doing that over Christmas New Year - and any takers for The Witcher (on Netflix) starting Monday...?

Will watch from the start so if it's any good I don't have to do what I did for GoT - 4 series binge watch while series 5 was being shown...:)

The Witcher on Netflix. Swords, sorcery, gore and boobs. If you like those types of books and shows then it does it well. If you don't it wont change your mind.

I powered through the series in 2 days whilst laid up in bed with a cold. I enjoyed it and will be ready for series 2.

Nothing below the waist from either sex. You get to see Henry Cavills boobs quite often if that helps to tempt you ?.

I was actually a little surprised by the topless thing. It wasn't necessary, very 80's really, and in the modern era I thought that would be frowned upon and left out.

Isn’t GOT basically a porno?

Big hunk of a man. Played Superman in the recent films, Man from Uncle, one of the MI films. Normally he is a bit too chiselled but this role roughed him up a bit. If you were a single bloke in a nightclub and he walked in you may as well go home ?

A Christmas Carol on BBC last night, tonight and tomorrow. Thought it started well, interesting take, Guy Pierce and Stephen Graham are both usually top drawer, think I even spotted Tom Hardy in it ;)

Sticks and Stones has a superb story and was a really edgy watch but the one thing that let it down for me was the poor acting. There’s a really high standard these days for lots of miniseries and this was a bit like watching a bunch of A level drama students at times.

We've watched the first two and have the third recorded. Both the missus and me are on the fence about it, it's a fairly decent story but quite often we're both like "what are you doing mate?" and "are there really businesses out there run that way?". Yeah and the acting is really poor.
