I'd become inappropriate around Suranne Jones. Does that put me in with a shot?MrOneLung said:I will hazard a guess that Suranne Jones (Bailey) has several glasses of wine, swears a lot, and sleeps with someone inappropriate.

coming to a conclusion nest week, so not especially new .. People v O J Simpson .. superbly acted and staged docudrama .. even though I knew the result, watching the mechanics and convolutions of the case, although probably over-dramatized, has been fascinating3

Just catching Legends on Sky Box Sets. Sean Bean as a deep undercover agent. Just seen the first two episodes and pretty good.0

Tried one of these big ole US TV series for a change last night - first 5 episodes of True Detective. Not bad, slightly confusing in parts, I shall watch the whole lot, but I prefer Line of Duty, Luther etc.0

First or second series Algarve? The first is brilliant, I gave up on the second.Algarveaddick said:Tried one of these big ole US TV series for a change last night - first 5 episodes of True Detective.

First RM. It's okay. I know it's fiction, but [SPOILER ALERT] the cover up of the massacre at the drug factory - forensics would have sussed out the GSR in an instant, even in 1995 - good acting though.1

I enjoy reading Stephen King, he's a great writer and comes up with some brilliant story concepts.DamoNorthStand said:Seen a preview of the first 2 eps of 11 22 63 - starting on Fox TV from Sunday.
Admittedly I am a big Stephen King fan, but it is bloody brilliant.
King is an utterly incredible storyteller (one of the best of his generation surely if not the best). Combine that with JJ Abrams getting the book on the TV and it is a recipe for success.
They replicate the early 60s to perfection. James Franco is superb as Jake Epping.
However, I do sometimes find his endings kind of rushed and anti- climactic.
E.g The Stand and the follow-up to The Shining (forgotten the title, but two thirds through I was thinking it was his best ever).
That said, I enjoyed 11.22.63, so I am looking forward to this.1 -
His standalone books are great. Better than the Bolitar ones imho. However, after reading a few of then, you realise that they are, basically, the same plot every time.Fanny Fanackapan said:
OK, thanks.MrOneLung said:
Agreed - Fanny you will like his books.addick2000 said:
Harlan Coben is a really good author. A lot of his books have a basketball player as the lead. Well worth a readFanny Fanackapan said:On Friday at 9pm, Sky One, a new thriller series starting called "The Five" written by best selling author ( apparently) Harlan Coben
Decent write up in the TV Times.
Has stand alone stories and also a series based on a sports agent called Myron Bolitar.0 -

Well just thought I would bump this, even though it is off the thread topic.cafcfan said:
Staying off topic, but too true. During one spell of boundary changes I was unfortunate enough to have him as an MP. Even wrote to him with a complaint. He wrote back, but completely missed the point. Useless waste of space.PragueAddick said:
Not "distinctive" enough for John Whittingdale, apparently.Bedsaddick said:Just to concur with everyone else . The Night Manager is excellent.
Someone needs to abolish this bloke. Never done anything except be a politician.
This Whittingdale story from the MoS is far more important than the other one, I think.
That aid, he speaks very highly of you, @cafcfan....
According to Ms Hudson, Mr Whittingdale showed little regard for his constituents, and could be outspoken. ‘I once asked him what he was up to and he said he was at a fete in his constituency with some “reprobate oiks”, by which he meant the local people.

Been said by plenty on here including myself - but 11 22 63 is just so bloody good.
And despite having read the book, the little tweaks to the story means I am still gripped.
Just fantastic.
Stephen King - what a writer.2 -
My missus had to leave the room during the scene in the slaughterhouse*. Might tell her it's safe to come back in after MOTD.DamoNorthStand said:Been said by plenty on here including myself - but 11 22 63 is just so bloody good.

Hap and Leonard was enjoyable. On Amazon prime.0

Enjoying Undercover to a point, I hate pulling up dramas on petty things, after all it's just entertainment, but a couple of things last night were quite pathetic:
1) You are going to meet a new key witness who can throw some light on a massive miss carriage of justice that you have been fighting for over 20 years; the meeting is a most two hours and a couple of hours away. Suddenly you are called from Louisiana about your other life long legal battle, what do you do? Which one do you chose? Well do both for goodness sake!! Two hours or so difference to get all the way to the USA is hardly going to make any difference!
2) You're dropping off your daughter at Oxford University and your wife's best friend just happens to be dropping off her son at the same college, at the same time and she sees you in a compromising, albeit innocent, position. Too much of a coincidence.0 -
Make sure it's MOTD next Saturday. Have a bit of 'me time'. Maybe get a hatch put in so she can pass your food through for the week.Bournemouth Addick said:

Been disappointed with Undercover in fact I fell asleep watching it last night. I understand that to get a good drama you have to often suspend credibility but this stretches it too far, also with all the flashbacks I am struggling to know what is going on it is too messy. Shame as it's a good cast but the premis is a mess.
On the other hand have been enjoying The A word Christopher Ecclestone is great as the foot in mouth dad.1 -
3) The women undercover cop who became a drug addict is seen watching the death of Michael Antwee (SP ?) and then finally leaves after hearing various conversations to cover it up. Time is shown as 5.40 am........and its broad daylight !!! reallyNomadicAddick said:Enjoying Undercover to a point, I hate pulling up dramas on petty things, after all it's just entertainment, but a couple of things last night were quite pathetic:

Finished watching The Tunnel, Sabotage last night and loved all of it. (Love The Bridge too of course). Otherwise I don't get to watch much TV :-(0

Liking Marcella, of course Anna Friel is always worth a watch but plenty of menace and red herrings it's loads better than Undercover. By the way Charlie haven't caught the new Tunnel but thought the first one was top notch.0

anyone else finish OJ yesterday?0

Thank god season 2 of better call Saul has finished. What absolute pile of shite. I kept willing something of substance to happen, but it never did.
Absolute crap.0 -
I'd be surprised if they were going to go ahead with a season 3 . It really was dull.ricky_otto said:Thank god season 2 of better call Saul has finished. What absolute pile of shite. I kept willing something of substance to happen, but it never did.

So does the Tunnel 2 try to borrow the plot line of The Bridge 2 (as was the case with the Tunnel 1/Bridge 1, or does it have an original plot line this time? Question for anybody who has seen both, as I wasn't mad on the Tunnel 1.red_murph said:
