Quick shout to overseas users who use VPN for BBC. Which are reliable for you? I have finally lost patience with Zenmate. They keep being rumbled by the BBC ( and C4/ITV).
Finished Defending Jacob last week and thought it was quite good despite a couple of questionable plots.
Watched all 12 episodes of Normal People yesterday. The first two episodes were decent but the rest I felt were quite self- indulgent. A few hours wasted. The lead actress is very pretty and looks very much like Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson, which was partly why I kept watching the series....
Agree totally on Normal People, nicely shot but could have been a film. Self indulgent sums it up.
I didn't realise there were 12 until the 6th episode finished and no sign of a conclusion.
Really enjoying caliphate, the Swedes do make good TV.
Just finished Mr Winner. Hilarious in parts, the piano one was genius.
Spencer Jones is a surreal character. Have you ever seen any of his stand up or that Herbert Clunkerdunk show that he did on TV. Very weird......but funny.
I would imagine a pint or two with him and Noel Fielding would be an experience......
We saw Spencer Jones at the Soho Theatre. the funniest thing ever. As is Herbert Clunkerdunk. I often find myself walking along singing his songs. 'Bullshit' for example. and Jonny Wallop is the best character.
Spencer Jones lives in Plumstead and was my brother’s neighbour. In the episode ‘Jingles’ he got my brother to play Tubby Taylor!
The sound effects and kiddy feel was getting to me, but will give it another go and if doesn't cut the mustard, then revert back to watching the daily Govt updates!
Just finished the Lees and Falconio murders doc on C4. Disappointing ending. Thought there would be some new news. Defo something dodgy going on that they haven’t got to the bottom of not likely ever will.

I reckon Joanne Lees conspired with the bloke she was having a fling with to get rid of Falconio. Him & a mate followed them in another car (the one the truck driver saw) & abducted him. What happened after that I've no idea but we only have her statement to as to what happened. None of her story rings true & the evidence against Murdoch is circumstantial at best. I thought I remember that they debunked her story about getting from the front of his truck to the back. They touched on it in the story but I would have thought his defence team would have made more if it.
13 Reasons Why, season 4 just finished. Not quite the same as when it started, the first season was the best. I'd still watch it but definitely peaked the first one, must be done now surely

and the lack of blood thing? the bloke who thought he saw him clearly has made it up as he wanted some attention as nothing happens in his sleepy town. The police just needed to convict someone to tick a box. someone even said it in the programme the police 'needed' a result. she was so untrustworthy.
'Murder in the Outback' was an entertaining well spun yarn albeit full of red herrings and inconsistences
Yeah......shame that it's real life.
FWIW.......I dont think he did it. I think She is lying & Falconio is still alive.
Her affair, Falconio supposedly seen months later in NSW, the mysterious stranger who'd shaved off his moustache later in a very odd conversation with a truck driver, Falconio's reputation as a 'dodgy northerner' re an insurance scam ( was there ever an insurance payout to anyone involved), the dead dog found 'near' the supposed murder scene, all blind alleys which were never adequately investigated or concluded. As someone else said on here, we will almost certainly never know .. Of course a really tragic case, Maddie McCann, was one that I thought would never be solved, it now looks as though there might be an answer. We will see
Re-watching Clive James' 1990s 'Postcard From ...' series, satirical portraits of big cities around the world. Rare for me, lots of laugh out loud moments .. James was a master of self deprecation and the puncturing/caricaturing of massive egos as well as having a sense of humour as dry as the Sahara. Thoroughly good nostalgic TV

I caught some if those recently. One where he was in Hollywood & got friends with some guy who basically parked limos for the stars. Very good. Drier than an Australian wine I think one journalist once wrote.
I remember reading about the case in a Ibiza hotel, waiting for the rep welcome meeting to start. I didn’t believe her then and this didn’t change that one bit Dodgy as fuck and how he’s still inside I don’t know.
To boot she came across as a sulky, petulant brat who is clearly a heartless cow. How on earth did his family entertain her bullshit?
Hope they manage to get a re-trial and I’m sure the truth will come out one day. Bet she’s fuming that this has re-ignited it all.

I've only watched the first two episodes and I already don't trust a word she says!
I'm half way through Fauda on Netflix, after recommendations on here. If you enjoy Palestine/Israel/ISIS type drama then it's for you. 8/10 from me, in middle of series 2.

Definitely worth a watch.

Brilliant. Best thing I've watched in ages. Had me in tears in places. So so funny.
Now binging Good Girls on Netflix.
Anyone know can I watch The Morning Show without Apple TV?

I have only one other comment to make at this stage: Putin, go **** yourself.
