And a new writer too thank goodness. It's been rubbish lately

I was quite happy to have Capaldi but I think the stories have been really disappointing. The xmas special was an improvement but it's like he was sabotaged.

I wanted to see a Dr Who / Malcom Tucker (The thick of it) crossover. i.e a really sweary timelord....

The break-in episode is fantastic.

Season 6 of Homeland. I've only seen the first part so far, with parts 2 and 3 planned for tonight - with the compulsory accompanying whisky and 7Up.

I hope it continues a lot better than the first one though. I was very disappointed in that.

Maybe it would have had more going for it without the assumption that the next Prez would be a woman.

But then if they'd written a part for someone like Trump it would have seemed far fetched. Albeit we know differently now.

Well that was more like it.

I agree- four parter, it is certainly worth watching, just ignore what Oink had to say

Watched the last part of Unforgotten (series two) last night so started River tonight knowing very little about it.

Rather obvious similarities with the very good, therefore cancelled, American series

Not sure how it's going to go yet.

A small profound BBC doc on the Kazhak people who had to endure radiation.

I've just watched the BBC's "The Moorside" (2 part "docu-drama") based on the Shannon Matthews case. I thought it was very powerful, but it seems to have caused quite a bit of controversy Over There.

IMO, some of the people upset about it are missing the point about it NOT being about Shannon directly, nor a reconstruction of the case, but rather about how it played out/affected others.

Has anyone else seen it? Have any thoughts?

Currently watching the 'Good Karma Hospital', Amanda Redman and Neil Morrisey, looks a good series. SSGB started last night, not watched it yet, but it's a BBC 5 parter based on the Len Deighton novel.
