Oz and James Drink to Britain - must be great to get paid going on a booze up round the British Isles.  Very entertaining though.

 

 

Total Wipeout - has anyone seen this?  I'd love a crack at it!

Great watch Kow, thanks for the tip. What a guy 

Dark Tourist on netflix.  Can't work out if the presenter is any good or not.  Poor mans Louis Theroux for sure, but overall I think i've enjoyed the series.

I enjoyed it, he was quite funny at times but clear he is trying to be like Louis, some interesting spots and people featured, Colombia looks like a great holiday though.

The Alienist on Netflix, excellent viewing. 

 

I'm on it. Thanks for the rec.

 

Great line early in episode 2: -

 

You know the difference between capitalism and socialism?

 

In capitalism, man exploits man. In socialism, it's the other way around. 

Arena about Spitting Image starting on BBC4

GOLTV - Ecuadorian Serie A just for some late night fitba  :greengrin:

I recommend The Football Cub; an artist in residence. Channel 4 Catch Up. Available for another 2/3 weeks. Heard one of the TalkSport commentators recommending it a few days ago.

I thought you were recommending it for us? 

I thought you were recommending it for us? 

 

Yes I did. And furthermore, and unnecessarily explained where I had received the recommendation.

 

Unfortunately the trail runs cold at this point. Canna mind the boy who recommended it over the airwaves far less being able to ask him who telt him

 

The best series I have watched for a long, long time. 

 

Such a pity no more episodes are to be made.

Ozark, got one episode of the first season to go, I see the second has started in the US. Really enjoyable watch

Succession was very good, loosely based on the Murdoch family/empire with Brian Cox as a Scottish media tyrant trying to keep control of his company from his kids.

 

Written by Jesse Armstrong (The Thick of It and Peep Show).

I thought the Adrian Chiles alcohol doc was refreshingly honest. He’s probably shut himself out of some future broadcasting roles given he’s having a decent drink 6 days a week.

 

He came across well though but perhaps it explains some of the pish he used to come out with when fronting the ITV football. 

Mr Mercedes.  Adaptation of the book by Stephen King which so far is very true to the book.  Well worth a watch, if you know nothing about it try to keep it that way as the opening scene is very hard hitting.

Season two excellent too. Really good watch like.

Read and enjoyed the book TLG.

Wasn't aware it was made into a tv series.

Which channel is it being shown on ?

Bodyguard has been pretty good. It’s been hyped up to fuck and you could drive a bus through some of the plot holes but it’s been some decent escapism.

Season 3 of No Offence on Channel 4.

In keeping with the previous two series it is pretty hard hitting stuff.

Great cast who play their characters really well.

 

If this one is as good as the others, then I'll be hoping they commission some more

Season two excellent too. Really good watch like.

 

Just finished it today, as you say, season two was excellent! Just got better and better

Have started this now too, enjoyable first two episodes

Absolutely, passes the time nicely enough.  Heard they came into a bit of stick for the old Islamophobia?  Not quite sure how from what i've watch so far.

I've watched the first three episodes of Maniac on Netflix.

 

So far, so good.

Ouch ya fucker. Seriously does no other fucker  on here watch this ?

Written by Paul Abbott, cracking black humour and pretty close to the bone story lines.

Well worth a watch on catch up.

Mystery Road, Australian spin off TV mini-series from Ivan Sen's movie Mystery Road. I absolutely loved the movie, and more so the sequel, Goldstone. So I knew what to expect in terms of slow pace, cinematography etc... Brilliant stuff in my opinion.
