Watching " And then there were none" on BBC 1 staring amongst others
"Poldark" star Aidan Turner ( possible new Bond contender ?). In Poldark
He was famous for cutting some wheat with no shirt on, sending many
Hears a fluttering, and yes even in Agatha Christie. They find an excuse to
have him wandering around in just a short towel )
That was really fantastic -{ Pretty damn dark but really captivating. Rare to see such a talented cast all at their best, I even thought Toby Stephens was excellent when I presumed he could act himself out of a paper bag judging by DAD. )
Just spent the afternoon watching all 3 episodes.
Excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed it and great acting from all involved. Always loved Charles Dance and have a soft spot Sam Neil.
I never got into 'Poldark' so missed the whole Aidan Turner thing but .... Wow! I'm a convert. Probably helped that he looked like a young Tim Dalton ...
As for a Bond contender, he's the right age and he looked perfect in a dinner suit ...
I think even if he doesn't get a chance at Bond, he'll definitely be a leading man in many
More TV and film productions. I too thought Charles Dance was superb in ATTWN he
can change from charm to menace in the blink of an eye. -{ infact the entire cast was
Brilliant.

Watching an episode of QI on Netflix, and Stephen Fry ( and Frank Skinner) both
said that Columbo was the greatest tv series ever made. I know if it's on, I watch
It, even if I've seen it a hundred times before. They made an interesting point.
Peter Falk had a glass eye, but did the Character of Columbo have one ? )

Probably not actually on TV , as I've bought it from Google play movies,
but Torchwood: Miracle Day.
Haven't seen it in years ( and missed many episodes) so I'm looking forward to it.
It begins with a day when no one dies ! then no one dies the next day etc
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
Funny how TV shows can sometimes predict the future......
In Torchwood " Miracle Day" when people stop dying. Which leads to
A massive depression, like the 1920s ( or what the banks did recently).
The two countries named as going bankrupt were, Greece and Ireland.
Funny to think that a few years after this series, that's nearly what did
Happen.

I watched dinosaur autopsy the other night, basically the had a full size T.REX , model made up by some extremely clever people ,and then they did an autopsy on it , you would never believe that this thing wasn't an actual real dead T.REX , amazing ,the detail was first class .
I went to Jamie Oliver restaurant in York recently and I'm pleased to inform you he is already cooking dinosaur leftovers, at least that would explain my very expensive meal

Actually no. It was just some deft acting on PFs part.
From Wikipedia, I can confirm this is correct (i.e. Columbo was meant to have a glass eye just like Peter Falk who played him):
Columbo's unsettling, uneven-eyed stare was due to Falk's glass eye in the right eye socket. It remained a mystery for 25 years whether the character had one as well, until 1997's "Columbo: A Trace of Murder", whereupon asking another character to revisit the crime scene with him he jokes: "You know, three eyes are better than one."
A BIG Columbo fan here - I have them all on DVD. I watched 'A Case of Immunity' last night. -{

Tracy Ullman has a new show which is very funny. Her first sketch had
Dame Judi Dench as a bit of a delinquent, as she's a national treasure she
can get away with anything.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
The Flash has returned, and whilst the new episode was ok, I did come away with one thing.
Teddy Sears (Jay Garrick) in a tuxedo seriously looks like he could be a good Bond. Unlikely, I know, but I think if he can do a good british accent he can be a good Bond.
Just watched "The voice" whats all that about ,another pile of TV rubbish ,Peter Cooke had it right ,with his suggestion for a new tv show ,celebrity suicide , a show where celebrities kill them selves on tv ,and the winner gets a prize ,or celebrity saviours ,this is when celebrities get nailed to crosses ,and the one who screams the loudest wins , good old Pete,
I think these Talent shows serve a higher purpose. They provide the
Vapid, mindless daytime TV presenters of the future. As on " This
Morning" . I always laugh at their pledges that " Singing is my life"
" I was born to sing". Yet none actually sing in bands or in pubs and
Clubs ? and quickly give up their " Singing ambitions" to show clips
of cute kittens on some Crap TV show.

My pleasure, TP! I love Columbo - my favourite TV show of all time.
There is something very satisfying about watching a classic Bond film on a Sunday afternoon. -{
Bit late I know but only just watched this.
It wasn't what I was expecting at all. I thought it was a documentary on the making of not a drama.
Anyway, I loved it too!! Very well done with an excellent cast. I had no idea that was John Sessions and nice to see Julian Sands again.

Espionage series about MI5. -{
Donald Trump, I love this show -{
