Then she watches it.

You been on it?

Yes, Wolves fan in Fuengirola, with the Sports Bar, when filming was done we had a Huge Flag under the big screen.

But when My friend passed away I sent the flag with him over the coffin, he went in a Wolves Shirt.

Things are shit at the moment, but the program has worked for us.

As she sits watching her shit TV in the room next to my office I have probably heard you waffling on most weekdays then.
So cheers for keeping me company

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Don't listen to him. I know for a fact he happily settles down and watches films such as 'Framed For Murder' (an art dealer is accused of killing his wife...but is he really guilty?) every afternoon.

 

[Kenny]

Oscar worthy films as well

 

[machin05]

We watched that last year. I think we lost interest a bit though and gave up before the last couple of episodes.

Yeah, I get that. The missus isn't really engaged with it either.
I dunno, I just find the story fascinating. She's obviously intelligent and started out well intentioned, but what turns someone to just become morally and ethically corrupt like that!? Oh, and that deep voice she puts on in public

The real story (which the show does a decent job of portraying) is less about Holmes and more about the unbelievable willful ignorance of the people whose funding she secured.

Good show, stick with it, IMO.

I've been watching detectorists, I missed it first time round. Enjoyed the first two series, third is good but not quite as good

 

[Boozad]

Second episode of Last of Us was pretty good, really enjoying it.

Fauda season 4 is just brilliant.

 

[Alan]

People are weirdly mad about the lack of

 

spores

?

Makes sense to me. Sometimes mechanics need to change to fit a different medium.

 

[AndyWolves]

Looking for a decent series to watch, available on iPlayer, all4 etc (anything freely available).

I like things like taskmaster, detectorists, ghosts (UK version) etc.

I don't want anything too violent / depressing (I watch with the wife) but dark humour is ok.

Any ideas?

 

[Tredman]

Just finished Mystery Road Origins which I really enjoyed, but depressing though perhaps.

First series of Early Doors is on iplayer - much more light hearted and having not watched it before very enjoyable.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Get straight on Happy Valley

 

[Tredman]

Violent and depressing…

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I wouldn't say it's depressing But then I spent ages living in Northern shitholes...

Stunningly good TV.

It's riveting, almost as good as LOD.
Sarah Lancashire is a fantastic actress, I mean actor, would never have thought she would have such a long career from her early stuff.

Better than LoD I’d say. Probably best British tv I’ve watched since ever. Perhaps tinker tailor is better, but didn’t watch that at the time.

Speaking of which, Last Tango in Halifax has decent storylines, and is all on iPlayer.

 

[Boozad]

Now I really have to watch it.

 

[Sniffer]

Now I really have to watch it.

Just skip through last night’s episode when you get to see it. Filler fodder for the finale.
