Not when hes being accused by more than 3 dozen women
Yeah, not wanting to derail the thread (because Detectorists is so great), but "innocent until proven guilty" is a necessary legal term. The burdens of proof we use to make reasonable judgements in our lives is far lower than it is for something to be proven in law and if we find testimony to be cogent, thorough and compelling, it makes sense to believe it.
Agreed, and I can't see what further will come out anyway. They've made the accusations and I would guess 99% of them don't have any further proof as a lot of what happened appears to have happened on sets and behind the scenes over the years. Could be wrong, but it's just whether you believe 20 people (plus a lot more who have said things have happened but don't wish to make official complaints).
Not when hes being accused by more than 3 dozen women
OK , fair enough but the point still stands.
And the number I've seen quoted is around 20 - not that it matters if allegations are proved to be valid, of course.
I don't disagree with the general point but whether it's 20 or 40, we're not talking about 1 nutjob here. I think the fact he's come out and said he will "seek professional help" to "educate himself" but didn't realise how it would affect people is a strong admission of guilt. I'd hazard he guess he saw a lot of it as pretty playful but unfortunately not quite how the victims saw it. I think exactly what he is guilty of is questionable, but guilty nonetheless of at least making a lot of them feel extremely uncomfortable.
That's a very fair explanation of the likely scenario here.
And Detectorists is what I watch in deep mid-winter here in Alberta, when it's sub -25°C and I want to make myself feel home sick - it's what England looks like in my memory, rather than in the travel brochures.
To be honest I don't think ITV wanted to put Viewpoint on the Hub at all but viewers were quite rightly frustrated at missing the 5th and final episode so they agreed to put it on over the weekend. I wish I had missed it all to be honest, pretty shite.
A pile of poo from Netflix. Dreadful script and nice, middle class young things playing filthy ragamuffins in Victorian London. The irony of one of them accusing another of hating posh people.
Hasn't got an original bone in its body but I still enjoyed it for the acting and the complicated family relationships.
Yup......really enjoying this.
Winslett is a very good actor.
Started this yesterday and watched 1 and 2 - was tempted to stay up a bit later to watch ep 3, but will be itching to watch it tonight after the match. There is something very obvious about it, and i've already called it on a few of the characters as well dodgy, reminds me of sharp objects in a way. intrigued. mainly why Mike from Neighbours is there. is he producing it and written himself in to the story for the fun of it? or is he the baddie?

Yeah - has that similar feel to Sharp Objects where everyone knows everyone's business.......although this is a far less affluent locale. I watched ep 3 last night.........
Any comedy recommendations? Just blasted my way through Superstore - looking for something with 20 minute episodes on netflix/prime/terrestrial
Friday night dinner, i didn't really get into it when it was on the TV, or wasn't really drawn in. But i binged it last year and found it very easy to watch and enjoyed it. On Netflix
FND...seconded!
I've just binged al six series Loved it; Martin and Jim could be two of the great comedy characters of recent years.
So, what next? Anything else with similar humour? Thinking of Peep Show as the writer was involved.
Been bingeing FND recently. Like many others on here, I’m finding it pretty amusing and Martin is by far the funniest character. It’s making me a little sad to watch the outstanding Paul Ritter with the knowledge that he’s no longer with us.
On a lighter note, I don’t know if it’s common knowledge, but I was very surprised to discover that the guy playing Jonny is Jim Rosenthal’s boy. Although, once you know that, you can really see his old man in him. I think it’s the nose! 😂

Completely agree, I'd not put two & two together and once I saw it somewhere I couldn't work out how I'd not connected the two Rosenthals, definitely a resemblance.
Jim Rosenthal shared a photo of them both with Paul Ritter after he died with a nice message about Tom's 'two Dads'.
Not the strongest episode - felt a bit Zanzibar but not quite as good, but still some brilliant gags (Mirandaing, "Let him have it, are you sure?", and the whole Genoa? Alaska? bit, off the top of my head).

We're up to the end of season 3. Holding off on Season 4 (the most recent) for a while to enjoy the anticipation a bit longer - it's that good.
I found it quite helpful to read episode reviews as they tend to answer (and ask) questions about each episode.

Italian Mafiosi/police drama. based in the early/mid 90s Palermo.
Started Mare of Easttown as well and itching to watch episode 3 tonight

Fascinating series on the history of Snooker - recommended. Covers all the great players from the 1970s onwards.
Some great film of Alex Higgins.
Quick look at Twitter suggests it was a real love it or hate it episode.
predominantly decided by if you understood most of the references or not.
I enjoyed it. Looking forward to watching it again to catch the bits I missed first time.
