The Goggle Box Thread

The 'Running up that Hill' scene is probably the best scene I've watched on TV in a good few years. Powerful, dramatic, emotional and superbly done, IMO.

It's Kate Bush. It can only be epic. Even though my marriage didn't work out I will always have the moment when I told Squeeze I got her tickets for the Hammersmith run. Her utter joy at that, and then her face during the show, those are the moments that money simply cannot buy, and even now it warms the cockles of my cold cynical heart to think I was able to make that happen for her.

Amazingly I missed this first time around, picked up in the Times today.

Been watching Our Yorkshire Farm now they've appeared on the Virgin box. Continued where we got up to on the dodgy box. A nice watch

The final 2 episodes of Stranger Things 4 volume 1 were just magnificent. High quality telly.

Yeah I've enjoyed the entire run so far. Much more horror orientated but just as much fun.

Our Falklands War.
Powerful, heart rending tales from people that wee there.
Really opens your eyes to war. Dunno how some of those guys have got through the last 40 years.

Just started rewatching Mindhunter, top tier tele.

Finally got around to watching The Wire. Nearly at the end of season 2 already, it’s not bad is it?!

...season 2 is the worst as well

Agreed. Season 3 is the pinnacle though.

Anyone seen David Simon's new show We Own the City?

Na, season 2 is brilliant, brings it together from a wholly different perspective. 5 was the least amazing.

Not yet, I'll watch it when I've finished Mindhunter again.

Great start to Sherwood. They're staggering the release though, only two a week for a six parter.

Have you got to the bit where he makes a Gilet fashionable or still covering stories on youth players he made brilliant without actually coaching?

Yeah we enjoyed it, I actually like when they don't release all the episodes at once, yes I know I'm a bit weird.

I think he might mean it's the least best of the lot.

All 5 are magnificent.

It's good but the timelines are bobbins.

The coppers would all be in their 60's and long retired if they were at the miners strikes.

David Morrissey is 58 tbf. Just about plausible, he was 20 in 1984.

Edit: Robert Glenister is 62 as well.

Enjoying Sherwood too. Odd moment when the train driver was having a hand shuffle which was caught on the baby monitor and Paddy Maguire (Shameless) playing a scab
