New series starting channel 5 Mon with Jill Halfpenny, cant remember the name but sounds good. Anybody watching The Bay (I ended up binge watching the new series!). x


It’s called The Drowning.

Sounds awful quite frankly.  In these times of death and sadness, do we really need a programme about a drowning  >:(.  I want to be entertained!  I worry about people who a) write such dramas and b) those who agree to act in them  :'(

I'm going to watch The Drowning. Sounds interesting. I watched The Bay ( had to watch the last series first to remind me). Just binge watched It's a Sin. Very well done I thought. It's easy to forget the dreadful prejudices that the first HIV victims and their families had to cope with.

Did anyone stick with Finding Alice? I found it stupid  ;D

I plan to see The Sin in one go.

There are several new programmes this week: we gave the 1 on asking someone to repair an item then go a % of what it sells for.  Not keen on the presenter's voice nor the concept.  A cycle was offered for repair/sale but the bloke actually repairs cycles as his business  :-\.  Joanna Lumley has another series ..........

Oh same here JD. We don't watch too many dramas as such but this is a good one.
Also watching The Great blimey those Russians are very, very naughty.

I was so looking forward to it as it's got a great cast but I found it really irritating. I gave up on episode three then fast-forwarded through the rest  ;D

Haha, it was good, Finding Alice, but it won’t win any awards. 😆

I’ve just watched The Durrells again, I love that era, and wish it was me in Corfu.

My brother told me about The Russians cazikins. I’m too shy for all that.  :worm:  I’d have to turn my blushing face away from the tv,  :rofl:

I just looked that up to see what is but came across "Hygge" on radio 4.  I'd missed that one, was it any good?  Sindhu Vee is so funny, and Grayson Perry used to grate on me a bit but he's grown on me lately.    I love watching Sandi Toksvig(?).   I always liked QI with Stephen Fry as presenter, but I like it even more since she took over.

Long Lost Families last night whilst DH watched Fishermen in Cornwall. Will catch up with lost masterpieces on more4 in the week.

Joanna Lumley and Sandi tonight.  It happens that most of what I like to watch is all on at the same time across the Channels  >:(
