I love a good period drama but have yet to see any downton. Just started on the handmaids tale.

The hand maids tale is, er, interesting. Probably not what I would class as a period drama…. I’ve actually just finished listening the second book today.
At a school I used to work at, one of the pupils was the son of the chap who plays Thomas Barrow. Always odd seeing a celeb in a casual manner just dropping his kid off. Would get the mums swooning quite a bit!

Sorry, I know it's not a period drama. It's something my wife wants to watch as she hates what I like. I don't mind it so far.

I'm more of a Dickens man myself.

To offset the downton I've started watching Yellowstone...
It's definitely more my cup of tea😉

There’s always a nostalgic look back at The Comic Strip. Five Go Mad in Dorset, Mr Jolly Lives Next Door, The Beat Generation, great fun.

It's a good show. Seems to have been a long time since the last season. Filmed in Ontario with some good Toronto locations.

Is that the one where he drinks piss out of a snake skin or sleeps in a dead camel?
The sisters show is good, don’t remember what it is called - set in Ireland.

Try Silo while you’ve got the trial, it’s good.
Haven’t started Hijack yet. There were some people in the Indian the other night discussing it loudly and giving the plot away, I was desperately trying not to listen.
Hate it when that happens - you should have told them you haven’t watched it yet!

Well reminded. Gotta get through Hijack and Slow Horses by 30th
Bloody Amazon cancelled the second series of Peripheral, blaming the Hollywood strikes.
However, I also read a while ago that streaming services are ditching much of their content - Westworld for an example among many others. Reason being that the series appear as very valuable assets on their books and represent a tax burden.

Tax burden? What, in case they ever have to pay any??

We've been watching Inside No. 9, it's a sort of horror comedy anthology by the guys who made The League of Gentlemen. Some episodes are better than others but it's always interesting and enjoyable.

I've watched all inside no 9. Don't know how they manage to think them up. A bit like a modern tales of the unexpected.

I watched Onoda,10,000 Nights In the Jungle on the Chanel 4 app the other night.
I was 9 at the time this 2nd world war Japanese solider eventually gave himself up. Ive always found it a fascinating story so it was nice coming across the film by chance.
IMHO pretty well done.
