Haven't watched the Long Shadow yet, though it's on my list, but did watch a documentary on Peter Sutcliffe the other night.
Awful policing, don't get me wrong I know it's a lot easier these days with CCTV, DNA etc but how they completely ignored the women who survived telling them the guy had a Yorkshire accent not a Geordie one staggers me.
And that's before you get to the fact that the decent lines of enquiries they were doing (which company's payroll the £5 note came from that they thought the killer had given rhe victim before attacking her, the tyre tracks made at the scene v vehicle ownership records etc) were basically closed so they could spend the money on concentrating on the tape.
Must be awful for the families of the last couple of victims particularly that there's a strong suspicion he should have been caught earlier.
Did anyone try ‘Survivor’ on Saturday and Sunday (bbc1)? I love the US version which has run for 23 years now (45 series) so I was interested to see what the UK version would be like. I thought it was ok. Some entertaining characters and some bellends too, which are essential for a good season. Thought the presenter (Joel something?) was pretty amusing for a bit, but I think his comments might start to grate after a while. Survivor is a great format, so I’m hoping it’s a good season and goes down well.
Getting panned so far, think it might struggle to get a second series.
Shame as I love the format, think it's way better than Big Brother, Love Island, I'm a Celeb etc.
I worry that a poor choice of presenter, choosing a Saturday night, and the fact that it does normally get a lot more exciting post-merge means that it won't get a foothold.

I'm enjoying it but I've ever seen it before. I like Joel Dommett but don't think he's the right person to present it.
First trailer has been released for 'Masters of the Air', the new WWII drama from the makers (Spielberg, Tom Hanks) of Band of Brothers and The Pacific...

Finally got around to watching From: It was ok not as great as I was hoping with what i had heard from it but was watchable
Ghosts: Ending was sooooo disappointing considering it was the last ever episode honestly expected it to end better than it did.
Now the strike is over hopefully they can get back to filming the last half of chucky season 3
First half was as great as the first 2 seasons and I'm looking forward to seeing how it wraps up(nothing confirmed if this is the last season yet, so will be intresting to see how it plays out)
Discovered that while the US version Survivor is a bit of a pain to get (pay for Paramount Plus and a VPN), there's Australian and South African versions free on UKTV Play.
Wish I'd have known sooner as looks like only S9 of the Aussie one is on there and I could have been happily enjoying 9 series worth, but I'll take it!
The UK version hasn't gripped me yet - feel like they are missing a funny contestant or two to keep it going, but Survivor is always better once you get to know the contestants, and normally post-merge too so hoping it'll still be good.

South African survivor is decent.
Aussie Survivor is pretty good, but as with most Aussie series, they drag it out for too long. (I think about 22 or 24 episodes per season?) Jonathan LaPaglia, the host, is engaging, but he asks SOOOO many questions at tribal, we always end up shouting “GET ON WITH IT!” at him. Despite this, there are some decent seasons and some good characters.
New Zealand survivor is a dreadful, budget version with a host who lacks any personality.

Bit of a shame.
Joel isn’t bothering me too much, because I recognise that most people won’t have seen it before, so they need to be walked through it and I also appreciate that he’s not just trying to be a British Jeff Probst. I can see how he might grate though!
I agree about post-merge too. If they can just keep enough interest until then, it might be ok.
The other thing is, you need some interesting characters and the show needs a bit of luck with the casting, but some of the people in this series have been a bit…well…dull.
Not the kind of show I usually go for but like Stephen Graham so watched it anyway. Only 8 episodes.
Actually thought it was ok, went a bit all over the place in the middle but they wrapped it up quiet well and made it all make sense (as far as sci fi goes)

Think I ditched one episode in, years ago. No idea why.
It's exceptional!
It was a terrible song Robbie

With Netflix and Amazon both producing their own equivalents it doesn’t stand out as much as it used to.
However, good news Paulie, there's a Christmas special anyway so that will presumably be the ending ending.

With a Christmas episode Hopefully that finishes it off better and they end it well
