    Good to see the reruns of The Man from UNCLE and, recently, Mission: Impossible on tv -{ Just can't get enough of those 60's spy shows...

    I too love that whole 60s Spy vibe. The Avengers, TMFU, Mission Impossible. A couple of
    Others that never seem to get a reshowing. Probe ( Search in the UK ) and TR Sloane.

    Did anyone see 'The Knowledge' on Ch4 last night?

    I've known a few people do 'the knowledge' and it really is as hard as it looks and I love they way the the process is still so formal.

    Good test of character.

    Black cabs all the way for me when in London :)

    I don't remember Probe but I used to love TR Sloane of the Secret Servuce - also called A Man Called Sloane. Top Sunday night viewing! And brilliant opening credits. I saw Robert Conrad do a recent interview in Youtube, sadly he's not aged too well but his voice is still really distinctive.

    Will look out for Probe. Did they ever show the 'hellfire club' episode of the Avengers? As a kid I used to have a b&w photo of Diana Rigg from that episode looking unbelievably hot ;% :o I've just never seen the episode.

    I've see the Hellfire club episode on True entertainment. I think Probe was called search over here.
    The agents had a camera in a ring or medallion ( groovy 70s) and a built-in ear piece to contact
    Control etc.

    "Endeavour" is quite good, in an old-fashioned kind of way.

    I love Endeavour. One of my favourite TV shows.

    I never manage to work out 'who done it?' :#

    It's very different from CSI, and that's one of the reasons I enjoy "Endeavour".

    "Reindeer herding minute by minute" started today. The Sami are moving their reindeer from the winter pastures inlandto the summer pastures on an island. Most of the time on channel NRK2 will be designated to this for days :)

    BTW: Is there an English word for a large flat area/region so far above sea level no trees grow there?!

    Plateau...?

    That's it! The reindeer are getting moved from the Finnmark plateau, near the border to Russia.
    AJB007 is great in many ways, including for maintaining and expanding my English vocabulary. -{
  • Lady RoseLady Rose London,UKPosts: 2,667MI6 Agent
    Yes ... the english word you are looking for is the French word plateau :)) :))
  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 21,699MI6 Agent
    Yes, it seems French is a la mode among the British :D

    The reindeer herd is still walking ......

    The latest slow-TV hit "Reindeer herding - minute by minute" will stop tomorrow evening - because it was too slow :))
    The reindeer walked too slowly, because the cold weather didn't inspire them to move to an island for the summer and because of union rules (for the TV crews, not Santa's crew). The bradcast started Monday this week and has been going on only interupted by one hour of foreign news each day.

    Just watched the three series boxed set of Peaky Blinders, which is a violent crime drama set in 1919 featuring Thomas Shelby and based in Birmingham England.

    I enjoyed it so much that I watched the entire boxed set in a night and an afternoon of viewing.

    Season 4 is being filmed as we speak, and I can't wait for it to come out later this year on BBC 2.

    I never thought there would be another TV show with as much sex as The Game Of Thrones, I was wrong PB's wins it hands down.

    From a friend I got the loan of the complete series of " Still Game" a truly Funny comedy about the
    Lives of a group of pensioners living in a part of Glasgow. I only caught the last series on BBC2, if
    This had an earlier showing on BBC1, I think it would have been a huge UK success up there with
    Porridge or Only Fools.

    I'm really enjoying Loch Ness. Beautiful scenary great acting and a real sense of menance. Also the fact that we had a day there a couple of years ago and going again later this year adds to enjoyment.

    I haven't watched the European Song Contest in years, but I'm considering it tonight. The reason is that I knew the twins who are presenting the Norwegian votes. Good luck boys! B-)

    Not Jedward again ? :D

    No, I had to google them. Jedward looks like Justin Bieber cloned himself :o

    I've been forced to watch eurovision tonight. Mrs coop is quite partial to it. I have to say the Welsh girl representing the UK gave a fantastic performance, she should be one of the front runners, but I think the " normal" voting routine will prevail, you know Norway giving Sweden top votes and all that.

    Well, now the Norwegian jury's votes are announced. The twins looked classy in tweed suits. I'm used to seing them on TV now, but it's strange to watch people you have known saying "Hallo Europe!" and not exagerating at all......
