For Slow Horses fans, S4 has finished filming (to be released later this year) and they've bounced straight on to filming S5!!!

I wonder how that will go when there is no source material to work from? I know there will be the history to use, but not the rich character driven story that was the source of the 1st series.

Series co-creators and writers Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo — as well as exec producer Michaela Clavell — are aboard for more scheming, plotting, and prestige drama. The trio, alongside FX, are working with Clavell's estate to develop the upcoming instalments within the world the legendary author established.

Could we see the real-life Battle of Sekigahara — teed up but not seen in the first season — play out on our screens? Will we find out the ultimate fate of Cosmo Jarvis' Anjin, John Blackthorne, whose ship was found destroyed in Episode 10? Might the show adopt an anthology approach even and shift its focus elsewhere within Clavell's Asia Saga?

source - Empire magazine.
 
If anyone is interested, boys from the blackstuff is on the iplayer, probably due to Bernard Hill dying the other week, the original one off play blackstuff is on there as well in case you missed it first time round, like we all did.
 
I watch the car shows in bed before my eyelids get heavy, Wheeler Dealers, Bangers and Cash etc.
Currently getting through a load of Car Sos I’ve downloaded, my eldest was a massive fan of PWEI in the early nineties and I have to say Fuzz Townsend knows his cars, his partner though Tim Shaw is a tedious twat.
 
Fuzz is ex west mids travel bus mechanic, the workshop on the tv was in Aldridge.

Harry’s garage,
Iain Tyrell on YouTube are good as well, plus South Main Auto if you want to watch a mechanic fix rusty American cars on a daily basis, and Mustie1 if you want to see pretty much anything with an engine get bought back from the dead.
 
I have a vinyl of Pigbros’ The blubberhouses signed by Fuzz :)
Didn’t he say he once put his knob in a pint of beer then drunk by boris Johnson?

Thanks for the heads up on this. I watched first time and revisited them over the last couple of days. Powerful TV and brilliant scripting and acting. 40 years on and sadly, nothing's improved...

Newsnight was a must watch when Paxman and Emily Maitlis were presenters ,it’s giving GB News a run for it’s money tonight.
 
Race across the world didn’t disappoint again.
 
Recently discovered Roadworthy Rescues, presenter is pretty laid back with a dry sense of humour, makes a change from that usual ‘oh yeah’ shite you see in most of the American car shows.
Well worth a watch if you’re into that sort of thing.
 
Phone upgrade has come with Disney+ free for 6 months so started to watch Welcome to Wrexham.

As I do when I am enjoying a show, I look for the idiots that will piss me off. It was easy on this show! For those who have watched it

1) They Guy who is a Painter and Decorator, hates his job and announces early on his wife had just left him - Who thought it was a good idea to give him air time. Utter prick

2) The Wrexham hooligan - Again, why the air time for some prick that wears his banning order like a badge of honour

3) The Girlfriend of the hooligan prick - Why are you with the guy that destroyed your chances of joining the police force and is also a MASSIVE fucking moron (she is the daughter of the drummer from James...one for @lemonjelly )

Only 10 episodes in, so hoping hooligan prick vanishes and the other prick gets massively reduced air time going forward.

To sum up - Pricks (but enjoying the rest of the show so far)

If he's the one with the two kids then he's still about as he's part of a podcast they frequently cut to on season 2.
 
Yeah I'm up to date on it, I love the show. Ryan Reynolds is probably my favourite man in the world.

I actively avoided knowing anything about League One last season (it wasn't hard!) so as not to get any spoilers. I don't even know if they get promoted or not :love:

I’m pretty sure he’s not in any of the season 3 episodes I’ve watched so far.

The podcast is, if it's the same guy. I enjoy the football and football business stuff, a lot of the rest is too saccharine laced for my taste and in season 3 they really are reaching for their touchy feely stuff.

How can you not mention posh boy, no nothing about football, Prince William's old room mate Humphrey?
