Have watched both Sheerwood and the Control Room over the last couple of weeks Sheerwood was excellent and The Control Room was in my opinion poor normally BBC dramas are of a better standard.
Agreed, Sherwood was very good. Control Room was so bad, I couldn’t complete it.

Chivalry - watched two episodes and gave up. a send up of the Metoo movement in Hollywood. not sure if it was meant to be a comedy or a drama. kind of thing media people would lap up.
watched Muhammed ali documatry by ken burns on BBC. very good.
The Rising - a girl, she dies. comes back but no one can see her but a dog and her drunk dad. proper shit.
Midwich cuckoos was average at best.
New series the undeclared war. Interesting but turns pretty poor. Thought the main actor was very poor.
We own this city was pretty good. Though the back and forth in time was a bit confusing. Don't expect the same brilliance as the wire but not a bad series.
Always loved newsroom dramas since the great Lou Grant. The Newsreader is up there with the best. Great characters. Liking some of those 80s Aussie cars.
Also just finished Becoming Elizabeth on Starz. Stretches the historical facts a bit, but a well told Tudor drama. The young German actress playing Elizabeth nails the English accent and Jessica Raines (the original lead in Call the Midwife) is rather raunchy!
Finally the guest appearances on Better Call Saul we’ve all been waiting for.
But even if it never happened it’d still be outstanding - I just love this programme.
Best spinoff show ever, imo.
You're obviously too old to remember Robin's Nest, George and Mildred or Gooing Straight!
Yep, it's superb. I'm already looking forward to watching it all the way through again.
Oh, I remember them alright. Going Straight was an absolute blight on the memory of Porridge. I liked Robin’s Nest only because of Tessa Wyatt’s seventies breasts. 😎
(Also, I like how for some reason you think I’m too old to remember them - how old do you think I am?) 😂😂
I stumbled across an old BBC sitcom the other night, ever decreasing circles with Richard Briers and Penelope Wilton and I tell you what, it stands up still now. I know good comedy and TV stands the test of time but this was really good. No wonder Ricky Gervais reunited them in afterlife
Auf Weidersein has been getting rerun on gold and that stands up too.
Meanwhile I'm in awe of Better Call Saul and Bob Odenkirk, truly he is a master of his craft

It was Peter Egan in Afterlife.
Richard Briars has passed away by the time that series was made.

Both Egan and Briars were in EDC Fanny.
Briars was the hapless husband and Egan was the eligible bachelor from next door.

I need to get on Better Call Saul, only binged Breaking bad the end of last year , early this year... Just finished stranger things and Vikings, going to watch Vahalla then i will probably start BCS, alot of seasons does put me off but at least i dont have to worry about finding something to watch....
I binged the 3 episodes of Arsenal all or nothing last night, decent enough and Arteta comes across as a great manager and love his team talks. Although on the flip side the soundtrack sounds like they are going for football factory in spots too but worth a watch, although i am bias as followed Arsenal since young too

Ever Decreasing Circles was much underrated and a particular favourite of me and Mrs. C. Great characters and Briars was brilliant. Who doesn’t know a Howard & Hilda.

Yes, I know.
My point is that RG reunited Penny Wilton and Peter Egan in Afterlife, not Richard Briars who was no longer with us when the latter series was made.
Taron Egerton did a decent job again (Quite funny as he's basically becoming the go to guy if you want someone to portray you in a film, I mean one of his next roles is a biopic about Tetris lol!), albeit with a not bad American accent
Paul Walter Hauser though was outstanding, he's someone I've seen in Cobra Kai, and he's one of those actors who (I hate to say) is excellent at appearing a bit creepy - It took me about 10mins of watching him, to go: "Yup they've cast this guy perfectly"
Really sad viewing at times, its all about a Serial Killer in the States, who goes after 13-year old girls... The fifth episode is done really well to tug on the emotional strings, as its narrated in parts by the one girl he got convicted of killing. Of course its all script, rather than actual quotes her parents have remembered, but it does its job of hitting home.
Have watched the first six episodes of The Sandman, excellent story-telling and great production. I've read most of Neil Gaiman's stuff but not The Sandman, so it's all new to me; really enjoying it!

Thanks for the heads up.
