    I quite enjoyed the quaintness of Whitstable Pearl on Prime. A six part cop and private investigator series, filmed and located, surprise surprise in Whitstable.
    Quite a surprise, actually. The Blue Max, set on the Western Front, was filmed on Ms AA’s aunt’s farm near Leixlip.

    Just read about the Never Mind The Buzzcocks reboot on Sky. Should be interesting.

    Greg Davies hosting with team captains Noel Fielding and Daisy May Cooper. Recurring guest comedian Jamali Maddix.

    I've just discovered Home Ground. Nobody else watched this footie -based drama? Well if not, here goes...

    It's Norwegian, and the premise is, a female coach of a top women's team takes over at a small town men's team club that has made it to the Norwegian top tier. It stars Ane Dahl Torp whom you'll recognise if you watched Occupied, but I did a double take when I saw the second lead is John Carew, the ex Villa striker, more or less playing in character, but apparently making a decent new career as an actor. I'm only on S1 E2 but finding it very interesting, and seems it has been hugely successful in Norway. I'm watching it on the Aussie on - demand SBS, totally free with a VPN, but it looks like it is or has been on Prime.

    She was in The Manageress in the 80’s as female boss of a league club.

    Oh yeah, right. I had the vague idea it had been done in the UK, but couldn’t remember exactly. So it must have been crap. 

    Way before your time but does anyone remember the 60s series “United” ? I have a feeling there was a female manager in that series. It was ahead of its time in some ways, tackled things like mental illness in players ( watching as a kid, that episode really unsettled me). Jimmy Hill was involved with it.

    Just finished watching the latest series of Baptiste. Starts ok but descends into laughable tripe.

    Yeah I thought the same. Shame because I really enjoyed the previous 3 series.

    I thought the whole episode was absolutely unbelievable rubbish.

    Used to love the old show. Though Lamarr was a great host and Amstell an even better replacement

    Not a new series as I'm not one for waiting a week for each episode and then a year for the next season to come around. I prefer to binge watch and smash through a series, but I'm nearly finished with 'Impulse'.

    Only 2 seasons so easy to watch over the course of a weekend if you're able to pay the missus and kids to disappear for long periods of time.

    Has a Looper feel to it (of 2012 movie fame).

    I loved never mind the buzzcocks. Mark Lamarr used to have me in stitches especially during the lookalike bit 

    Simon Amstell was a joy on it too and I welcomed the relentless piss taking 

    I hope it remains ruthless

    OK, not new, although a new series is due this year, but has anybody mentioned It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia yet? I'm on series seven. Oh, with the new series, the 15th, I believe it officially becomes the longest-running sitcom in history, which is bloody good going bearing in mind there's something to offend in virtually every episode. Like the child pageant episode I watched last night.
    Sunny is probably my favourite TV show (or certainly my favourite comedy) of all time, probably watched every episode 10+ times. I’m surprised it isn’t more popular in the UK given the dark sense of humour.

    Netflix deleting some of the episodes is completely ridiculous.

    Scrap that. Although a decent series it seems there should have been a third season but YouTube panned it. Bastards.

    I think this has been covered on here already but just got around to it myself, Invincible on Prime was v good. First episode and the last couple of episodes were absolutely brutal. If you enjoyed The Boys/Watchmen it should be up your street

    Yeah they’ve removed the episode(s) that include the gangs (horrendous and incredibly funny) attempt to make Lethal Weapon 6.

    I think Greg Davies is the perfect pick to carry that torch. I'm looking forward to it.

    Bradley and Holly Take Off .. and with a bit of luck they won't come back :) .. seriously, a formulaic game show that will please many and horrify a few .. I'd really expect this to be more Ant n Dec and ITV

    There is a reason that despite being filmed before the pandemic it hadn’t been shown to date. 

    What a load of pants

    Schmigadoon Apple TV+ a comedic musical TV show - it’s mad as a box of frogs, but if you enjoy musical theatre, likely right up your street. If not, probably best to steer clear as the 3-4 songs per episode will properly get on your nerves. 

    Fortunately I like musical theatre and over the top acting performances so right up my street… 8/10

    “Looper” is one of those words that just has to be said in a Geordie accent.

    LOL.
    Reminds me of Jack Charlton as a pundit during Euro96 and the way he said "Zubizarreta" and "Goalkeeper".

    Finished Atypical. The daughters storyline ruined it for me. Was almost more about her than Sam in the 3rd and 4th series.
