Bill Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Another programme originally made for Kids, the minute i hear the intro i switch off. Not sure but i think it started off on kids TV, still for kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure but i think it started off on kids TV, still for kids. Nope. Never kid's TV. "The programme was originally intended to appeal to a family audience as an educational programme using time travel as a means to explore scientific ideas and famous moments in history." Seriously those that have missed out on the joy of it from 1963 are the losers in my opinion (not singleing you out Bill because I respect and accept your view).

pete0 Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 True Romance. Was on a list of blockbuster classics and I couldn't remember if I'd watched it before from the name. The scene with the dad tied to the chair jogged my memory though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Children's programmes on the BBC are shown on CBBC nowadays Bill, not prime time Sunday evening on BBC1. It's aimed at families (but not at grouch-bags). List of BBC kids progs has animated versions on it but not the real thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_BBC_children's_television_programmes#D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Saw 1917 today and was disappointed given the reviews I've seen. The "one take" way they did it was clever but for me it didn't convey the true horror of the time, and at times it was very pedestrian with the odd pointless scene thrown in as well. Shame because I was looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 I'm very much looking forward to watching Ben Affleck's new movie, Finding The Way Back. It looks really good from the trailers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Better Call Saul new series, as good as ever. Love Gilligan's use of silence as much as anything. pete0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Catching up with Star Wars - Picard, watched the first two or three when they were first aired but then forgot about it for some reason. Very enjoyable but stunned by one thing in particular! Jeri Ryan hasn't aged a bit, incredible for a woman in her fifties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Now that I'm confined to barracks, in the coming weeks I'll be binging on Boardwalk Empire, Breaking Bad, and Vikings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 i finished it, it was alright. first season was excellent but i felt the other seasons never really lived up to that again. Currently watching - High Fidelity (Hulu show not the movie) and Devs. Both are excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch Westworld and am up to date on it but despite being in the third season (and last as well) I still can’t work out if I even like it.

Gave up on Westworld very quickly, not a fan at all; just watched the final episode of Picard, liked it a lot other than one ridiculous scene in an earlier episode. Won't detail but no idea what the director was thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, so good on the third season. ...And that's how I felt about the first season of Westworld. I was interested when it first came out but I have been able to motivate myself to watch the other seasons for some reason.

Bill Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 In between watching Boardwalk Empire again I watched the Start of Stan Lees Lucky Man, I'm not very keen on Nesbit as a serious actor but I think he's brilliant in this. So much so that I've just started the second series, worth watching if you haven't seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 I recorded the film Lonesman and watched that today quite a dark western staring and directed by Tommy Lee Jones, I wouldn’t say it was brilliant but well worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife has watched Boardwalk Empire god knows how many times but I just can't get into it, I find the acting really wooden personally but I know many (wife included) love it. I'm actually finding it hard to get excited by anything the way things are; feels (for me) a bit like time spent in hospital and bored to tears but doing anything seems like too much hard work. Completely counter-intuitive I know but it must be something in my psyche, the one thing I have achieved is expanding my family tree back to 1751 which is eight generations back now.

Not really analysed it a lot yet Palf; the software I'm using has provided a couple of chunks of hits so it now has 115 people on it going back in one branch to one William White born in 1751. I've got a bit of Inman in me (Cold Mountain anyone?) and also some Sharp, must get in touch with cousin Graeme! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
