I feel dirty. I've started watching Amanda and Alan in Sicily. I like Alan Carr, the scenery in Sicily looks gorgeous. But Amanda Holden ??. It's a good watch but I need to scrub afterwards.
The episodes get better as Thaw and Whately get used to their characters. I've been a big fan of Morse, Lewis and Endeavour. When I've watched those early Morse episodes as repeats, they seem a bit odd, because Thaw and Whately don't seem to have settled in to what they want their characters to be.ITV3 showing Morse from the beginning, never watched an episode before, and we're onto episode 4 now I think.
Have to say, and yes I realise these things date, but it's pretty dire.
I enjoyed Stonehouse and thought it was a good idea to show the documentary about the case afterward to fill in any gaps and see the real footage. Interesting to see which things they omitted, the alleged domestic abuse for example.
A story that deserved both the drama and the documentary.
Just watched the first episode of Tulsa King. Not sure whether to persevere - any thoughts?
I'm keeping at it, Thaw especially is odd, he's this semi-aggressive boorish character which is not what I thought Morse was meant to be, I'll see how it changes as we go.The episodes get better as Thaw and Whately get used to their characters.

Always interesting to see some very young actors with small roles who went on to greater things, eg Liz Hurley playing a schoolgirl.
My brother is a civil and regularly works on the rigs - and lives in Aberdeen, must ask him what he thinks of it…?The Rig on Amazon Prime
Oh dear lord, this is absolutely appalling.
Dreadful ridiculous storyline
Awful effects
Set on an oil rig with zero Aberdonians on it (I've never been on the rigs, but folks also saying the set is laughable)
Only three Scots on the entire show (see above)
Iain Glenn with the worst Scottish accent you'll ever hear and he's from Edinburgh. It's like an American trying to be Scottish
The Canadian lead lassie is as wooden as my desk
Avoid. Maybe 2/10 if yer lucky

Not just me then? Watched the first episode, won’t bother with the rest. Utter tosh.
Looking forward to watching The Last of Us when it starts next Monday.
Can’t wait for this, the two games are right up there in my top all time 5 list, got high hopes for the tv series ??
