Peter Kay has confirmed 2 special episodes of Car Share will be shown next year. 1 will finish off the story and pick up the day after the last episode and another is the 2 of them doing an unscripted show.

Finally got round to watching the last of The Vietnam War documentary on BBC4

Probably the most effective documentary I have seen. No stupid voice over or background music either - what music was used fitted in perfectly with the times

I've watched 9 out of the 10 episodes so far. I knew almost nothing about the war before watching, and I had no real idea why the USA were even in Vietnam, but it is one of the most powerful tv series I have ever seen.

I will admit that several times, especially during the last couple of episodes, I have had tears in my eyes from watching the horror of what human beings can do to each other.

The music in it is absolutely superb too.

If I was an American citizen then was of an age when I could have been in this (unless I was related to George Bush) - a sobering thought.

Just finished season 1 of Stranger Things. Excellent stuff - really enjoyed it. Will have a break for a few days before cracking on with season 2.

I've also started watching The Sinner starring Jessica Biel. Has anyone else seen this? It's superb - a seemingly normal suburban woman, married with a young son suddenly flips when at the beach with her family, brutally murdering what appears to be a complete stranger for no reason whatsoever. Things start to unravel, and it becomes a very interesting crime drama - why did she do it? What happened to her earlier in her life? Was the victim a stranger? Well worth a watch - it's gripping.

Just watched all of Sinner this week...decent enough programme to be honest.
 
Been watching Motherland this week. Excellent comedy about the joys of being a mum with young school-age kids. Written by Sharon Horgan and Graham Linehan so can't really go wrong.
 
I saw a trailer for that last week, SLA - might give it a try later tonight.

To me it all looks like an extreme, but funny, take on the subject - but my wife assures me it's spot on!
 
Watched the first episode, thought it had promise. Second episode was beyond terrible IMO.
 
Early Doors is returning but as a Live Stage Show

Fucking Aces

Probably the most underrated comedy ever made.

I'm finding it like most Linehan things, they take a bit of time to bed in.

I'm watching them at the moment. Its brilliant - especially the pilot episode and episode 1. I can see where Wombat is coming from regarding episode 2 but it picks up again.

Very well observed - I love how they've nailed the 'playground mafia'. Some parts are really funny.
 
I've started watching Godless on Netflix and it's a really, really good slow-burn Western series. I do love a good Western.

2 big fat lies in that by the Manchester Evening News

Cheapest ticket is £25 (restricted view) and they went on sale last week. I only spotted that as the Lowry Theatre tweeted extra dates had been added due to demand!. Looking froward to see this next year and then having a night out in Mancland with 2 of the best tour guides from TWF.
Also hoping to see a woman kick a seagull......
