    Vinyl Vinyl and Vinyl.

    Some great music and quite stunning impersonations of famous artists, the Bowie and Elvis ones standing out.

    Unfortunately they are both cancelled out by the Alice Cooper impression!

    Thought Marcela on Monday started well. An eight part crime drama.

    Bit behind the times here but caught up with Raised by Wolves last night. Bostin' stuff!

    I missed out on the first series, loving this one. Very funny.

    Undercover looks like could be promising.

    Find myself wishing it wasn't so slow but then can't wait for the next episode.

    Finished watching The Lens, which is the Czech contribution to the Walter Presents series. Have to be honest and say it is not up to the best Scandis, sometimes the plotlines were really stretching coincidences, especially in the final part. On the other hand you get to see a lot of Vica Kerekes...

    I gave up on it. The first two episodes of season two were dull

    Inside Obama's White House .. four part BBC documentary .. a bit of propaganda fest for Barack, but it shows up what a fundamentally good man he is, the most 'left wing' president there has ever been with the possible exception of FDR ? .. time will tell ..

    He is certainly a humane and intellectual giant compared to the two ham acting has beens seeking to follow him into the White House

    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.

    Think series 1 is available on 4OD or whatever it's called these days (All4?). Well worth catching up on.

    BBC2 series Employable Me is a great way to spend an hour or 2.
    I've never really known anyone with Tourette's or Autism and have been glad to find out a little more about them both and to "meet" some of the people affected. In equal parts I've found the programme to be funny, frustrating (wanting the best for them), sad, surprising and inspirational.
    It's been great to understand how very talented these people are in certain areas and to watch them (mostly) do well once they understand the jobs/careers which play to their strengths and to silently applaud the individuals and organisations prepared to give them a chance.

    Don't usually like science fiction but thought 11.22.63 was excellent last night. Still enjoying Undercover as well

    Finished watching "love" on Netflix. Story is pretty generic but the characters are great and the climactic scene with the Pete townshend cover of that English beat song was fantastic bit of soppy television. Haven't seen a bad Netflix original yet.

    Anyone else watching "the Path"? We are on episode three here in Denmark and it's been reasonably good so far.

    Harlan Coben is a really good author. A lot of his books have a basketball player as the lead. Well worth a read

    Another shout for 11.23.63 from me too. I thought the book was some of his best work for years and they seem to have done a great job so far in transferring it to the screen, which isn't always the case with Stephen King. The production in getting the look and feel of the early 60's is top stuff.

    Can't recommend this enough also. American politics is fascinating and jaw dropping at the same time and this series really does show Obama to be essentially a fundamentally decent man.

    11.22.63 was stunning. Stephen King is one hell of a storyteller. The reputation he has of just writing dark and gory horror is so false. That guy can quite simply pen a great tale.

    The book was brilliant. And even my wife, who would never pick up a King book, was riveted watching it on Sunday night.

    Had the pleasure of meeting Stephen King at a dinner organised by a brand I was working with a few years ago. I asked him if he remembered coming up with the idea for Shawshank Redemption. He said he was sitting on the shitter and saw that the brickwork had come away a bit around the waste pipe out the sink opposite. He looked at his toothbrush on the side and thought he could dig out his bathroom with that in 50 years.

    Wiped his arse, got off the bog, and wrote one of the all time great movie stories in a couple of weeks.

    Well it was a short story so probably didn't even need to get off the shitter.

    Agreed - Fanny you will like his books.
    Has stand alone stories and also a series based on a sports agent called Myron Bolitar.

    I will hazard a guess that Suranne Jones (Bailey) has several glasses of wine, swears a lot, and sleeps with someone inappropriate.
