    Sorry yes that's it, also a very interesting show, I think they describe it as
    a sort of Director's commentary

    It is an interesting podcast, especially to hear their thoughts and processes for each episode and for the series as a whole…I’ve just gone back and watched them from series one again…the level of quality is quite amazing -{

    Freddie Flintoff slagging off Bond on Top Gear tonight X-( They seem to be rehashing all the old
    challanges, such as getting as close to the cars claimed top speed. Why not try and come up
    with a few new ideas lads.

    I saw 'new' Top Gear for the first time on Sunday.

    I didn't think it was too bad though I do find Paddy McGuinness a bit grating.

    I was also shocked to see Damon Hill. Haven't seen him for ages. How grey has he got!!

    I genuinely think there's only so much you can do with a car programme. Most of the time it's about how fast can it go. :))

    I do find the new Top Gear a bit too " Laddish " at times ;)

    Last night I watched the BBC version of A Caribbean Mystery, a Miss Marple adventure and
    later the newer ITV Marple version. Both great productions, I just found it funny ( as a Bond
    fan ) how with the ITV version they had Ian Fleming arrive one night to listen to a talk about
    Birds, from a certain Mr James Bond :D

    Anyone getting Disney plus when it starts in the UK, it seems pretty good with the
    amount of films they have in their catalogue ?

    Available on Amazon Prime

    Now that I am permanently at home for the time being I have added BritBox. This is really good and I am watching series that I have never seen before like Midsomer Murders. I’m also watching Dr. Who from the beginning in 1963 what great memories that is providing!
    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    {[] I've also been watching Dr Who on Brit Box, not in any order though, I tend to
    jump from Dr to Dr. Although I did start with Jon Pertwee, as He was my first Doctor.
    I've also indulged my love of murder mysteries with loads of Agatha Christie ;) catching
    up on the Miss Marple series with Joan Hickson, which I missed when first shown because
    I was at the age when I wanted car chases, explosions and plenty of fights.

    On Netflix I've been watching Altered Carbon season 2 with Antony Mackie a favourite actor
    of mine, a funny and intelligent guy. Usual Blade Runner type adventure, which I really like.

    Just started Avengers : Civil War on Disney + , it too looks amazing. I just
    Love Black Widow fighting :x I wish someone would make a new version
    of the 60s tv series The Avengers, with this sort of action/ fighting

    When I watch Black Widow fighting it looks so good I alosmst want her to beat me up :D
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    That's understandable ;)

    Mrs CHB loves watching Keeping Up Appearances on BritBox, slapstick humour is popular here and Patricia Routledge is wonderful, it’s good old fashioned British humour. We’ve highlighted Hetty Wainthropp next!

    We’re also watching Hustle which is my favourite at the moment, Robert Vaughn has always been one of my favourite actors.
    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    :D it's funny how spooks and Hustle
    Are on Britbox, after I made a point
    Over several months of collecting both
    Series on dvd.
    I remember reading that Keeping up
    Appearances, was one of the biggest
    Sellers for the BBC around the world.
    I agree with Asp9mm, about the Disney
    Series The Mandolorean, it's very good
    Indeed.

    We watched A Simple Favor last night in our house. Good movie with Anna Kendrik and Blake Lively.

    I’ve watched the first two episodes of Amazing Stories on AppleTV. First episode is excellent, second one is just ok as it’s very much like the movie Ghost.
    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

    I wonder if I live in the only country where this is shown on Saturday night prime time on the biggest TV channel: A short-haired boyish woman with a distinctive dialect, a man from her home town on a synthesizer and an elderly professor talk about language. Stranger still, it works :D
  • CoolHandBondCoolHandBond Mactan IslandPosts: 6,134MI6 Agent
    Have been watching The Stranger on Netflix, only 2 episodes in but we’re liking it.
    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

    Just finished Altered Carbon series 2 on Netflix, another great sci-fi series. {[]

    Sometimes it's hard to find stuff on Amazon Prime, but I've found a great old show.
    "Ultimate Force" a programme about an SAS unit and their adventures. If you missed it
    It's very like the Professionals / who dares wins. With some very interesting story Ideas.
    Episode 3 has someone murdering soldiers trying to do the survival course.
    All four seasons are on prime and well worth a watch. I know Silhouette Man will be
    watching as he's a big Ross Kemp fan ;)

    Has anyone seen the miniseries "The looming tower"? I haven't yet. It's based on real events in the US intelligence community in the 1990's when the rivalries between CIA and FBI led to the inteligence failiure of 9/11. Looks very interesting.
  • FrigilianaFrigiliana Posts: 164MI6 Agent
    It's very good Number24 definitely recommend, you'll be swearing at the telly though.

    I’ve just watched Tinker, Tailor , soldier spy and Smiley’s People with Sir Alec Guiness on Amazon Prime. Just brilliant I’d watched tinker tailor decades ago.
    Will have to reread the books.
    I’ve just seen first episode of the Americans and am hooked. I’d heard great reviews but hadn’t got round to watching it.
    Normally I’d be watching the football .

    We're three episodes into TIGER KING on Netflix. This show is absolutely batsh_t insane. If you want something that's really out there with people who probably need to be committed to an asylum, this is definitely for you.

    This is one of the maddest things I've seen on the TV. Absolutely nuts ... all of them including, Carol f***ing Baskin :)) :))


    We've been watching 'Ozark' . Absolutely love it. I watched the first episode when it first came out and didn't think much of it however, lock down and all that, I gave it a second go and I've found it excellent. Very dry in places.

    UI have started re-watching "Yes, minister". It's first rate. I can't think of a political comedy show these days that is as hillarious, intelligent and biting as this one. Veep tries to be, but it relies too much on profanities insted of biting wit.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Have you ever seen " The Thick of it " ? a modern version of how politics is done. :D

    No, I haven't. I'll look into it some day.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Loads of swearing as it's about Spin Doctors and how they are the puppet masters
    of modern politicians, but apparently very true to life. It also has Peter Capaldi in it,
    and he's always worth watching. ;)
