    So what did we think of the first episode of Race Across the World, sorry Canada?
     I’m loving Ladi already, what a guy!

    Thought it was great, stunning scenery.

    A bit of a shame it's all one country, but I understand that's probably a Covid thing and couldn't be helped, and at least it means it's a different place to the last two series.

    Ladi seemed a really nice guy, Zainib too.

    Enjoyed it, great show, stunning scenery and plenty of sub plots.

    The sort of show I never want to like but actually I did. None of the competitors is a massive arsehole, the scenery is undeniably amazing, and the relationships between some of the couples have been stressed already. Looking forward to next week's.

    Read somewhere after S1 of RATW that the had a couple of researchers doing a couple of the routes beforehand (go down theough Turkey once, Mongolia the next etc), to double check it was essentially possible, what complications over visas, budgets etc may apply and need to be avoided if possible in the show.

    What a great job!  Here's some money, travel Europe and the Far East for a few weeks in various different ways and let us know how you get on....

    I just find it fascinating for the younger ones.
    When do they ever get the opportunity to travel like this without any technology?
    Its definitely the stuff that makes you.

    The Last of Us: just binge watched the first 4 episodes. It started off at a good pace but seems somewhat slow atm. Hoping for more action going forward. Not convinced by the actor playing Kathleen as she doesn’t seem well cast. 
    Don’t hold your breath, the action and excitement is very thin on the ground 
    Just finished The Last of Us. Overall, glad I watched it. I actually preferred it to The Walking Dead which I felt really got boring after the first few series. Bit slow throughout but made up for by the episodes where we got to know the characters in flashbacks. Definitely left open for further series.

    Really like this show. Recommended it to my sister and she and her family are hooked now after watching this new one the other night.  She’s going back for the first two series now.  

    Only seen the first episode, but the scenery is absolutely stunning and it seems like a really good group they’ve got on taking part, Ladi in particular. He’s got exactly the right attitude, helping people, paying it forward and setting a brilliant example for his daughter.

    Half way through Tulsa King. Probably Stallone’s best work, really enjoying it.

    Another vote for Ladi. Loved the scene where he's helping to clean the bus, just because it was a nice thing to do for a helpful tour guide, and his daughter couldn't get her head around it was quite funny. As was the two that immediately got lost for hours!

    Ladi is a top bloke. A bit disappointed in the number of routes that they could take, where they all ended up if the same ferry and only 17 minutes from first to last. Having said that fancy have spent £650 on taxis and only having a slender advantage.

    Yep, he needs to lose his ego quick time or I’m going to go off him quickly. When they filmed his daughter bursting into tears cos he walked away like he always does 🥹😢

    Absolutely, I think there's a generation of kids at the moment who would have trouble deciding if they wanted to go somewhere unless they could take their phone and show it off.

    On a trip without phones they'll take the time to look around and take it all in.

    I sort of got her point given they're in a race (rather than just travelling), but he's right that it's a good attitude to have.

    The other Dad with his daughter came across like a grumpy git in comparison, but hopefully he'll improve as it goes along.

    Dunno if this has come up on here before but I’ve been laid up for a couple of days and have been binging For All Mankind on Apple TV. Absolutely excellent. Hokum of course but I found it engrossing and am on to season two in just under 24 hours.

    My heart tends to sink at the prospect of yet another BBC Dickens adaptation on a Sunday night, but I really enjoyed Great Expectations first episode of six this evening. It zipped along and was far from stuffy.

    I watched the new Paddy McGuiness show last night, Tempting Fortune, which was an interesting idea but ruined but absolutely awful contestants. Not a single likeable character amongst them, I hope they all get lost in South Africa and never return to the UK!

    didn't seem any different to the last adaption with Gillian Anderson in it

    Not been much mention of Attenborough's Wild Isle's here I don't think. I finished episode 2 last night and thought it was brilliant, these shows always blow me away with the cinematography but this one seems to gone to a whole new level. It's made the various areas of the UK look like far flung corners of the world, reminded me how lucky we are to be from this part of the world.

    The Night Agent 10 part series on Netflix is decent, albeit a bit unbelievable at times

    Watched all 6 episodes of BBC1/iPlayer 's " Blue Lights " over the past 2 nights.

    REALLY enjoyed it & feel it's one of the best police dramas we've seen for a long time.

    Watched the first one and found it very bleak, but good enough to watch more.

    watched series 5 of 'Unforgotten', the first with a new female lead .. well written and superbly acted as usual, a top notch 'cops/whodunnit' drama that is a lot more than just that

    Same here and am afraid to say I am at the stage now where I end up swerving Irish dramas due to the accents.

    Town Called Malice is good for the music but some of the acting is dreadful, particularly the mum and dad of the family

    Excessive use of the word cannister and do Millwalls finest really call Bermondsey Bermo 😂

    Only lasted 10 minutes watching this crap 
    & No Millwall finest don't call Bermondsey Bermo
