The tele is unbelievably bad. Highlight so far is the genius Robert Lindsay on BBC2 now in Anything Goes.
The tele is unbelievably bad.
Yes. It seems the programmers just accept that people have ways of watching what they want when they want so no longer put any effort into scheduling 'must watch' stuff at peak times.
I've been watching my own Christmas film collection over the last week or two since there's nothing on live TV that I can be arsed to watch (other than the racing).
No The Great Escape, Where Eagles Dare, A Bridge Too Far - traditional fayre.... diabolical.
Anyone been watching "Landscapers"? Some excellent performances. Went a bit strange last night.
A Bridge Too Far is on today at 1.10pm, Channel 5.
I’ve still not seen Die Hard! This is a huge gap in my film watching education. I was watching the programme about Scorcese last night/early morning. Annoyingly for a night owl, Sky Arts carries on throughout the night and I can’t get it on catch up. A Very British Scandal was excellent: I binge watched it last night. We just love University Challenge, it’s the highlight of our week and to have the Christmas special on every night makes me very happy. Especially as the celebrity one has easier questions.
Films:
Seberg. (Biopic of the actress and her runnings with the FBI in the 70s) - 5/10 Boring
A Time to Die. At least an hour too long - 4/10
Red Notice. I hate action films, so why did I watch this? - 5/10
The Death of Stalin. Very good 7/10
I never really liked Vikings after Ragnar left with the exception of one episode with a battle scene that was as good as any battle scene I’ve ever seen. Can’t remember which series it was in though. Didn’t find Ivar as charismatic as Ragnar and I haven’t got round to watching the latest series.
TV
Vikings. Could be top ten worthy by the time I finish it, currently in the early stages of season 5. Suffered a little from Ragnar's absence.
Wheel of Time. Finished the first season and it's ok but not as good as the book. May have needed an extra couple of episodes.
The Witcher. Haven't read these books and apparently it's not hugely popular with people that have, similar to WOT. However, I really like it. Currently two episodes into season 2.
Succession. About to start season 2, season 1 finished brilliant.
