    I will put this in its own thread too, but Thunderbirds Are Go returns next month! :)
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    I'm watching a TV series FARGO...it's excellent...Billy Bob Thornton plays crazy as well as any actor out there...

    Watching a whole load of stuff at the moment ... non of which is gripping me but I am finding watchable

    'Startup' on Amazon with Martin Freeman

    'Shooter' on Netflix

    'Alpha House' on Amazon ... amusing but nothing based at the White House these days is as ludicrous as what is really happening there.

    'Suits' ... same old watchable fluff (Louis Litt perhaps one of TV's greatest characters)

    'Ray Donovan' ... very disappointing so far but Jon Voight always good value.

    Quacks a new BBC comedy with Rory Kinnear and in episode two Andrew Scott
    Very funny, set in the late 18 century all the remedies use were real for the time,
    and some are crazy.

    "Norsemen" is now available on Netflix. If you only watch one viking comedy TV-series this year, watch "Norsemen"! All dialoge in English with genuine Norwegian accents :D

    Yes, a great show.

    Great tip! I'm watching the first episode on Youtube now. The simmularities between PM Chamberlain's Tarrif Reform policy and the "America first" policy of Trump seem striking.

    Tonight there is ohmss on the television. I will be watching this. It is only the second time of watching this film for me. I think it is different to other James Bond films but I like it anyway.

    The funny thing about History Number24 is that we
    Seem to learn little from it and keep repeating the
    Same mistakes. :#
    How did you find OHMSS the second time around Joshua ?

    I was trying to find this thread last night and couldn't - must've been tired.

    Anyway, UK forum members should keep an eye on Talking Pictures TV, as they have the 1957 movie Time Lock on their schedule - it played last night at midnight, but I'm sure it will be back on soon. Although I need to see it for other research reasons, the film contains a battle of the quiffs between Canadian b-picture star Lee Patterson and a young Sean Connery, who plays a welder.

    The film doesn't appear to have had an official DVD release, in the UK at least, so this is a rare chance to see Big Tam in one of hs earliest film roles. Talking Pictures tend to show movies a few times, so I'm sure it'll be on again - in fact I'll drop them a Twitter message and ask if it's coming up again.

    EDIT: Talking Pictures replied, saying they don't have a date for the next screening, but it's definitely coming on again.

    Hope you enjoyed it, Joshua!
    It really grew on me that one.
    First time I watched it I foolishly hated it. not even finishing it.
    Now, after repeat viewings. its one of the very best.

    If anyone was watching Celebrity 5 go motorhoming on channel 5 tonight. They went
    to Scotland, stopping at Glencoe and the spot where Bond parked the DB5.

    I reccomend Inspector Montalbano, currently on BBC IPlayer and usually on BBC 4.
    Clever series and the xast are top notch.

    Yes. An excellent show.
    I am also enjoying the BBC series of JK Rowling's 'Strike' which has been unusual for modern mystery-crime series in that hardly any one is killed. I so detest the Taggart style of storytelling of one murder every ad break. It's been a refreshing change, even if I can't stomach the drawn out antsy conversations between Strike and his secretary Robin.
    For light relief, Upstart Crow is excellent.
  • IanFryerIanFryer Posts: 327MI6 Agent
    I tried Upstart Crow and was less than impressed. The whole thing seemed desperate to want to be Blackadder but David Mitchell doesn't have the range Rowan Atkinson brought to that series.

    On the other hand I saw a BBC Comedy Playhouse pilot episode called Static starring Phil Davies, Alison Steasman and Rob Beckett. Really enjoyed it and hope it goes to a series. Still available to watch on iplayer.

    I like this series...really enjoyed the first series and the first episode of the second kept up the high standard -{

    I watched this last night...you could probably get a decent 5 minute skit out of it...I can't believe Phil Davies and Alison Steadman are so hard up for work that they signed up for this :(

    Of it just awful. :#

    I've watched another film and I've rejoined our hero massaging Kim bassinger, I don't remember that in the book. I'll give the finale a go I suppose.
