Hi everyone.

Just wondering if anyone's watched anything good lately on the box?

Fed up with all the usual stuff, soaps etc...

Normal tv is really short of good things these days. The Women in White started quite well last Sunday!! It depends on what you like to watch - we like the more factual historic, travel, antiques or art programmes. At the other end of the scale we love to have afternoon tea watching the game Tipping Point !!!
We are definitely moving towards having to pay for quality films and series.
We have an Amazon stick (quite cheap to buy)and belong to Amazon Prime (annual charge is around £80 and includes free deliveries on items bought from site as well a wide range of film and good series content.
We recently watched a great Amazon series ‘Marvelous Mrs Maisal' so funny, well written with great production quality.

We got Netflix recently.  It's very reasonable a month and there is a lot of excellent tv programs on there.  Well worth the money.

There's been 3 weeks of people taking part in similar training activities to the SOE - it's been fascinating. I couldn't have stepped up.  Each week someone either gets asked to leave or if they are unable to face the next training sessions, they go.  There's a lot of history in the programme as well as quite gruelling training sessions.

Tipping Point
Escape to the Country or similar buying abroad-type programmes

I love Escape to the Chateau on Sunday nights, there's a daily one now called Escape to the Chateau DIY, it's about Brits buying derelict mansions in France and renovating them.  I love any programme where Brit's are buying property abroad.  I'm sure that's where my future lies ! X

On Monday Beeb 1 new series called ‘The Split'..thought it was ok.

[jillydoll]

Hi everyone

Yeah I watched The Split.
Didn't think that much of it.
She's a great actress, but couldn't stop thinking about her in ‘the last tango in halifax'
Which I thought was brilliant. But I love Sarah Lancashire too.
Apart from that, not much on, oh except flipping football, n boxing.

[Kernow]

Yup Jd...agree, nothing really doing it for me either. Loathe football.
Missing Masterchef which I loved, and also Marcella.
I do love Homeland on Sundays, but I think it's like Marmite, you either love it or hate it and it's been going some time now.
Also like The Good fight on Thurs ...it's a spin off of The Good Wife about a firm of lawyers.
Got bored when off work and found re runs of ER....George Clooney et al....still good Xx

[jillydoll]

Oh, started watching ‘stranger things' on Netflix.
It's ok, if you like supernatural and stuff like that.
Winona Ryder plays one of the main characters.

And also watched ‘the job lot' on Netflix as well. Good if you like silly things.
Which some days I can be very silly indeed 

[Spangles]

Loving the Durrells at the moment.

[jillydoll]

Omg I absolutely love the Durrells.
How could I forget that. Told you I could be silly. 

I would have loved that life soooo much, doing what they've done,
Especially back then in them days.

[Tiddles]

I'm just waiting ... and waiting ...for the return of Poldark ... Oops, where did all those emojis come from ??

[Kernow]

Yes they're filming at the moment Tiddles, in fact I'm off to walk the dogs to a certain cove today....just to see if there's any sitings

[Tiddles]

Lucky lucky Kernow !! 

[jillydoll]

I love Doc Martin.
The copper in it is very funny.
