Started White Lines last night. Looks promising.
btw - if you haven’t watched Normal People and want to lose yourself in something then I suggest that you simply must...but give yourself 6hrs as many folks find they get so immersed in the two lead characters that they can’t stop watching until all 12 half hours are done. I wasn’t sure myself when Mrs SILH said we should watch it, however...
You might find yourself thinking after a couple of episodes that nothing much is happening - but that is exactly the point and so just keep watching and do not fast forward. Most of us are normal people with pretty staightforward and ordinary uneventful plot lines to our lives - but what all of us have, and have had, to one degree or another is emotional entanglement with all its inherent ups and downs. And Normal People takes you right into the middle of those of a young irish lad and a young Irish lass. You start at the edge of their relationship watching it, but you gradually fall right into the middle of it.
By the end (if you have an emotional bone in your body) I almost guarantee you’ll love this young couple as if you’ve known them all your life, and you’ll want to stay friends with them. And that’s a bit tricky as of course they are not ‘real’ though you feel that they are - quite an odd feeling that.
Huge ? to Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones.

Sounds like a right load of soppy rubbish!
???. Not a modern man then Dave ??
(I'll confess, I thought the same but if it works for others... )

I'd lke to think of myself as a modern man in that I don't mind cooking, cleaning and shopping, but I draw the line at televised chick-lit!

I agree. Brilliantly involving.
The saddest love story since Brief Encounter.

Into season 2 now, affecting my sleep as I'm watching it late into the morning........ am quote enjoying it now. Our protagonist's accent still sounds a bit to posh and wooded, but am letting that slide
The actor is German apparently, moved around France and Switzerland as a child. That would explain the stilted accent. I can roll with that, remember the character was taken and then raised in Daneland ?. He has a good look though. Not as physically imposing as in the books but when he is in battle scenes, I've just seen a real doozer, he fits the role very well. I'm on the current series and it is a really good one so far.Into season 2 now, affecting my sleep as I'm watching it late into the morning........ am quote enjoying it now.

Aside from Uhtred, son of Uhtred, I have a real problem with his lace up boots ......
or Uhtred, son of Uhtred, next door neighbour to Uhtred as we call him.
oh and not just the boots.. the sword on the back is a nonsense too

Up to Episode 5 of Code 404. Cast definitely better than the script. Very corny.
Will finish this series but don't think I'd bother watching a second one.

Some rather harmless, light-hearted viewing but we are enjoying Around the World in Trains by Tony Robinson on My5 at the moment.
watched the first two... that was enough.... sheer hite
didn't see more that 10 mins, but saw something last night called Dave... looked very funny.... esp the "somebody blowme"
anyone else see it?, what was the rest like?

Ditto.
Not a fan of Danny Mays. He might be a good actor, but he just always looks oily and dirty, even playing the "nice guy" in Fisherman's Friends.
Ah, but it does look dramatic and cool when he takes it out though
. I saw a battle in the episode I watched last night. No helmet, no shield. Never happened in the books, would not happen in real life. More tele visual though I guess.

Seen all 10 now, decent watch but not brilliant, had to find out 'whodunnit'.
Danny Mays was the best thing in it for me, he acts panic mixed with humour rather well. Laurence Fox good too, Angela Griffin weak. 6.5 out of 10.
thats exactly how the wife describes him

My sentiments too
But it's total garbage
Kept giving it the benefit of another episode, but by then it's too late...... Invested so much time with it, had to see it though to the end
Ashamed to say

We've watched the first few episodes of Game of thrones in the last few days - not bad!
