The Good Doctor, not the US remake but the original Korean version on Netflix. Enjoying this one quite a lot, about an autistic lad trying to be a doctor. Good medical emergency and surgery scenes plus human drama and hospital politics/power struggles.
Saw one of the US ones on tv but can't find it on catchup so going subtitled Korean version instead.

He was equally as good as Cloughie and as David Frost. Absolutely exceptional actor.
Was absolutely spot on as Cloughie. One of my favourite actors and I think he really improves anything he's in. HID wanted him to be the last Dr Who but can't see him getting tied down into a series like that (at least not yet)

As for watching stuff, HID has become addicted the Antiques Roadshow on Really in the evenings so by default, or risk much tut-tutting, I am watching. To be honest its becoming a guilty pleasure and amazing to see stuff I wouldn't look twice at going for decent prices

Just started watching The Looming Tower, looking like I'll enjoy this.

Just found Bosch is back, brilliant (y)

Had a quick look and watched a few minutes of Ghost Squad, looks like it might be OK, will give a couple of episodes a bash later.

Crossing Lines 2 has come off the 'pay to watch' matrix, so that will get watched over the coming days also as I really enjoyed the first series.

Just re-watched the L’il Sebastian funeral episode of Parks and Recreation for the nth time. Never fails to make me chuckle. Super clever. Super funny. Perfect tv.

I have cried twice in my life. Once when I was seven and I was hit by a school bus, and then again when I heard that Li’l Sebastian passed.

Weirdly enough I watched that yesterday as well. RIP L'il Sebastian.

Bye bye Li'l Sebastian
Miss you in the saddest fashion
Bye bye Li'l Sebastian
You’re 5000 candles in the wind

:cry:;)

Really enjoyed it. To the point where 3 episodes felt a bit rushed and they could have got away with 4 episodes! There arent many programs where that's the case.

I've got the 3rd one to watch tonight, really enjoyed the first 2. I think 3 hour long episodes would have been fine, it's just that an hours worth of ITV is only around 40 something minutes once the adverts are taken out. But then again I sat through 6 proper hour long episodes of The Trial of Christine Keeler and whilst the acting was all very good, not sure the story warranted 6 hours.

Watched the first two and have really enjoyed them. Episode 3 today.
We watched one and two last night. Three this evening. V enjoyable. Then maybe the a Tiger thing - though my son thought it ludicrous and didn’t bother watching more than first ep. And if HE thought it ludicrous...well he thought we would also. But will give it a go.

The Tiger King thing on Netflix? We gave it 1.5 episodes and it was just too ludicrous so binned it.
