    Has anyone seen the new HBO series "Westworld"? I know it has a wonderful cast, so I have high hopes.

    James May's cars of the people series two. In the first episode of this
    Second series. He explains how Japan and Germany, took over from
    Britain and the US as car making giants.

    Stan Lee's Lucky Man .
    A police drama series with a twist ( sky 1)
    Staring James Nesbitt ( local lad ) ;) A detective gets a braclet that
    Brings him good luck. Of course there's a downside and Stan Lee makes
    his usual guest appearance in the first episode. Stephen Hagan plays
    James's Brother ( He's from Green island Co Antrim) for Bond fans there
    are a couple of familiar faces Kenneth Tsang ( DAD) and Omid Djalili ( TWINE)

    Watching " And then there were none" on BBC 1 staring amongst others
    "Poldark" star Aidan Turner ( possible new Bond contender ?). In Poldark
    He was famous for cutting some wheat with no shirt on, sending many
    Hears a fluttering, and yes even in Agatha Christie. They find an excuse to
    have him wandering around in just a short towel :))
    That was really fantastic -{ Pretty damn dark but really captivating. Rare to see such a talented cast all at their best, I even thought Toby Stephens was excellent when I presumed he could act himself out of a paper bag judging by DAD. :))


    Just spent the afternoon watching all 3 episodes.

    Excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed it and great acting from all involved. Always loved Charles Dance and have a soft spot Sam Neil.

    I never got into 'Poldark' so missed the whole Aidan Turner thing but .... Wow! I'm a convert. Probably helped that he looked like a young Tim Dalton ...

    As for a Bond contender, he's the right age and he looked perfect in a dinner suit ...

    This was quite excellent - and I'm an Adian Turner Convert... love Poldark (being a Cornish lass an all).

    So, Blindspot. Bloody good - a bit Alias ish, but without the ridiculous twists. And nice to see Sullivan Stapelton (from Strikeback) in a lead role. Not hard on the eyes at all... :x

    This looks promising. I've seen the first episode, got the second one on catch up...

    For me I watch Marvel's Agent Carter quite a bit. I love the 1940's setting and the stories are a fantastic combination of science fiction and espionage. Also I watch The Big Bang Theory for my comedy needs ( I started watching in 2009 on the recommendation of a close friend), as a fellow nerd I enjoy the references to pop culture and the situations the characters find themselves in. Another fun comedy that I enjoy is The Goldbergs, since it is set in the 1980's (I was born in 1982) and has loads great jokes in every episode.

    Finally Chicago Fire is another favorite of mine, I enjoy seeing all of the fire and rescue situations each week, along with what the characters are up to outside the firehouse as well.

    I got the Agent Carter season 1 DVD box yesterday and binge-watched it all in one go :))
    Just brilliant! Admittingly, I watched "Brideshead Revisited' mainly because Hayley Atwell was in it, but everything in this series is good.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Watching DC's " Legends of tomorrow " on Sky. A sort of Guardian of the galaxy for TV, vibe
    To it. A fun mix of comedy and superhero action. The second episode should be of interest to
    Bond fans. As during an illegal arms sales auction. One very well known Bond Villain appears.
    Of course he's not named ( for legal reasons) but he's Dressed like Blofeld from DAF. ;) and
    The episode is set in 1975, in Norway.

    Not sure if anyone has mentioned this one before, but I'm half way through The Game. It's a spy show, set in 1971 and brilliantly recreates the period. More Ipcress File / John Le Carre than Bond, it's compelling viewing, with a great cast - one episode stars Rachael Sterling, who's the spitting image of her mother - OHMSS's Diana Rigg.

    Watched the whole series of Deutschland 83 yesterday - excellent program...very much in the same vein as The Game for me...only set in East/West Germany and in 1983 :))
    Superb acting and a cracking soundtrack !! Highly recommended -{

    Tonight 9pm channel 37 QUEST ,the wheeler dealer boys Mike Brewer and Ed China buy an Aston DB7 do it up and hope to sell it for a profit ,they normally succeed ,but as we all know Astons can be a endless pit of money .

    Currently watching the following series: GOTHAM, HAWAII 5-0 and looking forward to the new season of BATES MOTEL. I also bought THE MAM FROM UNCLE tv series on Google Play and am over halfway through Season 1 - it's strange but I don't remember any of it even though I saw them all when they first ran in the 60's, some episodes are pretty good but there are a few duff ones to be fair.
    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

    My husband watches that. He says it's a bit rubbish but strangely watchable :))

    I've seen a few episodes and must say their effects are very good and a bit grim !! :o
  • always shakenalways shaken LondonPosts: 6,287MI6 Agent
    We have been watching the OJ SIMPSON trial , very entertaining .At the end of the series they showed in split screen mode the actor ,and the real life person they were playing ,amazing these people could have been twins the likeness was incredible ,until it came to OJ SIMPSON ,what a joke . the producers might as well have wandered down any local high street /shopping mall ,and picked the first person they saw ,laughable .

    OJ was the let down for sure. Nothing personal against Cuba Gooding Jnr but to me he was just playing his character from Jerry Maguire. The rest were very good though.
  • always shakenalways shaken LondonPosts: 6,287MI6 Agent
    well ,O.J was 6ft 1 and C.G JNR is 5ft 10 that's a 3 inch difference 8-) for a start .perhaps they could get Danny DeVito to play John Wayne ,no one will notice if he sits on a horse :)
