Just watched the 1st episode of Real Life Stories : Universal Credit, on BBC. Got to admit haven't been that wound up watching a TV show in a long time..

Finished The Witcher. Intriguing rather than very good.
Picard first two episodes. Very nice.
Jack Ryan season two. Excellent and a great UHD picture.
Top Gear. First episode stupid but the dam drop part brilliant. Second episode much better.
Wheeler Dealers Trade Up. Good viewing, as Mike is given a starting car and some budget to get the person's dream car (e.g. TVR, R33 Skyline)

Talk of Parks & Recreation the other day reminded me of what I've been missing so I decided to look through the new Sky Comedy channel to see if there is a new comedy I could start, already seen every Brooklyn Nine Nine episode 3 times over before anyone suggests that. I've started 30 Rock and so far it looks pretty promising. Anyone seen this? Worth sticking with?

If you can understand them try watching Still Game, was on BBC, some of the best bits come after the credits are shown.
Scots Squad , silly Glasgow police comedy wind up , funny at times.

Just finishing season 2 of Top of The Lake on Netflix. Both seasons good, although there are times I wonder who thought about some of the stuff in it, and why certain people let others do some of the stuff they did (no spoilers). Worth a watch.

I watch Still Game with a fond little smile on my face throughout as Ford Kiernan's character Jack is so like my departed dad at the characters age. My dad's going out 'Hugh - do you want to come with me to look for a new tool at the Barras' outfit was slacks, shirt, tie (why?), pullover, fawn brown zip up wind-cheater jacket - and his bunnet...just like Jack. They are even the same height and build.

Struggling a bit with The Stranger (on Netflix) 2 episodes in and just too much weird stuff happening to try and keep track of...and I don't know if I can be bothered working the brain cells. So last night me and Mrs Hogie watched two episodes of Portrait Artist of the Year. Nice and easy watching - and watching some very talented people do their stuff under pressure (and that's the sitters :) )

White House Farm... I get its a true sorry and a huge injustice you've only got to see what the police did to cock it up..

But my god they're literally dragging the life out of it and making it so slow to conclude when TBH with the little that's happened it would be better of being a single 2 hr special drama than a multiple week series

It's purgatory isn't it? There is a good 3 part drama in there but they have dragged it out to 6 and it shows. I wish I'd binned it off but at this point I may as well watch the last one.

If anyone is thinking of seeing it on catch up, don't bother.

I like watching Portrait/Landscape Artist of the year on Sky Arts. Love the different ways artists work and seeing some marvellous work; some pretty meh, and some frankly bonkers but fun. Portrait Artist on at the moment. All gentle stuff and wryly amusing at times with a Joan Bakewell...

I'm sorry but as a Fast Show fan, as soon as it comes on I just start shouting 'Black, Black, my eyes are pies' and collapse in fits of giggles. My wife thinks I'm strange and she probably has a point.

Absolute purgatory, the only reason I'll be sticking with it to its conclusion is because I've watched up till now like you have LT, even though I and most of the nation know who done it anyway because its a high profile case that's well documented everywhere..

If anyone comes across it in catch up save yourself the boredom, read the actual details from the press releases at the time then go make a cup of tea..

I'm too young (just) to know the story and up until last week hadn't realised it was actually based on a true story so was expecting some kind of crazy plot twist. Thing is now I figure I've got this far so will have to watch the final episode before reading up on the story.
